whose army was partially destroyed
by the Germans in the battle of Tan
nenberg, east Prussia.
Russians Score Victory.
In the present battle on the river
Vistula, from Warsaw south to the
river Pilica, the Russians are said to
have scored an important victory in
driving the Germans back and have
captured many prisoners, besides guns
and ammunition. But the defeated
army, when it gets back to it's selected
position, can entrench and start an
other siege battle such as that which
occurred on the river Aisne in France.
Southwark Of the Pilica the Germans
hold the river Vistula except in front
of the fortress at lvangorod, where
they were driven back by attacks from
that stronghold.
Austrian Army Not Crushed.
The Austrian army, which was SO
often described as routed and de-
stroyed in the battles Of Galicia, has
sprung into life again and is attack
ing the Russian left wing. The Aus
TRANS, however, apparently have found
an impenetrable barrier at the River
San north Of Jaroslow.
A Strange Situation.
London, Oct. 24.-On the western
Belgian coast there is being fought a
battle which, for display of advanced
military and naval science, for spec
tacular eject, for ferocity OF action
and appalling losses, is a realization
of the most fantastic dream picture
Of the War of the future" ever put
on paper or anvas
The admittedly strongest army in
the world is being held impotent by
one of the weakest numerically.
The Germans, heavily REINFORCED
by fresh land troops and by. a naval
brigade Of 10000 men, have extended
their base from Ostend to MariaGenke
and M~iddlekerke, half way between
Ostend and Newport, and frcm these
positions are Smelling the Belgian line,
which extends from Newport south
along the River User, a distance of Is
miles, the German left flank rests on
the coast.
The Belgians are being aided by the
French land forces, the British war
ships on the sea, and the British mont
tors and small gunboats in the canals
and rivers.
The ferocity of the three-cornered
b~ombardment continues undiminished.
Losses on both sides are reported to
be terrific. The Germans are reported
to have left 10000 dead and wounded
on the field.
Russians Claim Victory.
London, Oct. 23.-Fierce attacks
and counter attacks delivered almost
continuously for q week or more by
the allies and the Germans have re-
suited in no definite decision in the
~stupendous battle now raging in West
Flanders and Northern France. The
other titanic contest In the eastern
war area in East Prussia, Poland and
Galicia has been equally In doubt.
The official Russian statement, how
ever. declares The German troops
which had occupied the roads leading
to Warsaw In the region north of the
river Pilitza, have been repulsed and
are now In full retreat, leaving their
wounded on the battlefield"
