 ALLY BY HUNGARIANS.
TIDE TURNED AUGUST 1s
Austrians Have Sent Their Troops to Stem the Russian Wave-Anticipated That Servia Will Deal Austria Its Severest Blow.

Nish, Servia. via London, Sept. 13 0:10Sp. mt is announced that the Servian offensive continues successful
 Servian troops have crossed the Save at several points and it is said that the Servians are being received enthusiastically by the population of Hungary.
 A semi official statement reviewing the operations against Austria since the outbreak of the war makes no mention of the capture of Semlin, be- fore reported, but said:
 Austrian Trrops Sent East.
 "The Austrian have sent all their troops to the east to stem the ad- vance of the enormous Russian wave. The small total force which it has at its disposal already augers fresh suc- cesses for us. If by a miracle Austria escapes the castrophe by whih it is menaced it will be little Servia that has dealt the severest blow to its ,,restige"
 The statement asserts that in Au- gust. Austria threw one third of its total force of S50,0 men against Ser via-200 900 of these at the weakest point along the frontier, on the Save and Drina from Ljubova to Shabatz.
 After sanguinary fighting. the tide turned on August 19. the Austrians be- ing completely beaten and pursued along the whole line.
 Austrian Losses Are Heavy. sThe enemy's only thought con- tinues the statement, twas of reaching as quickly as possible the bridges it had thrown across the Drina, not even thinking of destroying them complete ly after their passage. The enormous losses of the enemy were due to the masSed formation of the Austrians They had 10000 killed; 6.000 of these l fell at River Tser.
  In one small village 600 bodies were buried. The number of the Aus | trian wounded vastly exceeded the to- | tai of those killed. Over 1000 of theil wounded remained on the battle field The prisoners not including the wound ed, number 1000. Thirty thousand vii not cover the total of the enemy's | wounded.
 | Tn the Maize fields along the val ley of the Drina and in the forests | some of the enemy's soldiers, who wer, thrown in the rear, are still being en | countered. Among these are som' officers who for more than a week hat l lived solely on maize."
 Corps Virtually AnnihiIated.
 The statement says that 150 gum were captured and that the Seventl Austrian corps virtually annihilated It adds:
 What is left is incapable of carry ing out military operations. It has lief | in our hands more than half its ar tillery. Despite efforts made by tn Austrians to conceal from the countr. their defeat it seems that there ar already certain movements among tn peoples of the dual monarchy wnicl may be the beginning of the disin tegration of the Austro-H Hungarian em pire.
 | Austrians Preparing for Defense.
 "The enemy has lost all hope of
 new offensive and now fears that tn offensive will come from our side Proof of this is to be found in tn
 works of defense which it is throw
 ing up and by the evacuation of al
 the posts between us and their posi-
 tions. This fear of a movement O.
 our part is justified, for the enem
 would be unable to oppose any ney
 force"
