RUSSIAN ADVANCE
STEADY; AUSTRIANS
RALLY ALONG VISTOK
Heavy German Reinforce
ments Aid in Attempt to
Check vi o We m e mt to
Cracow.
PBTRoGRAD, Sept. "a.

PBIttOiHAD, sept. a.
Rallying their forces behind the vistok
River, the Austrians are giving battle to
the advancing Russian troops along a
curved line extending from the foothills
OF the Carpathians east of Jaslo to Debic
on the vistok River, according to advices
received at the War Office today.
supplementing previous announcements
of the fall of Jaroslaw, the following
statement was issued at the War once
today: ...
on September 21 the Russian troops
took by storm the fortification OF Jar
oslaw on the right bank of the river
San. They took twenty cannon, even
though the enemy offered heavy re-
sistance, and blew UP the bridge over
the San.
The Russian cavalry Is pursuing the
retreating Austrian rear guard and Is
infictlng heavy losses, although the
Austrians destroyed many bridges.
Every day the number of prisoners
and seized cannons increase. The de-
moraliZation of the enemy Ia shown
by the pillaging and the pancky re-
treat. Prisoners assert that the ma
jority Of their officers are killed or
missing and that the soldiers feel the
loss keenly. The newly formed Rus
sian regiments have covered them
selves with glory ighting side by
side with the veterans.
The Austrian troops have. been REIN
forced by large forces of Germans, and
the combined armies are offering des-
perate resistance, but the Russians are
advancing steadily, the General Staff
states.
1t Is expected that few days must
elapse before a general battle ensues.
The Russians are occupying Rzeszow
as their base, and troops are being rushed
to that point from Jaroslaw, while the
big siege guns are keeping up an un-
ceasing bombardment of Przemysl.

NAVAL DISASTER SUPPORTS
BRITISH ADMIRAL'S APPEAL
Sir Percy Scott Contended That Eng
land Needed More Submarines.

The recent North Sea disaster is re-
garded as supporting the claims made
by Admiral Sir Percy Scott in his
reply to Lord Sydenham few days
prior to the opening of the European
war.
At the time Sir Percy. while not un-
derrating the value OF the battleship or
cruiser, urged an immediate increase in
the number of submarines. The latter
he contended, were of greater efficiency in
maneuvers requiring speed and secrecy.
He said also that they would prove in
valuable in attacks on commerce.
The truth of his contention he sup
ported by citing the success Of the Jap
anese in their late war, when, equipped
with torpedoes inferior to those now in
use, they forced the Russian heet TO re-
tire 10 Port Arthur.
At the time of his speech Sir Percy's
attitude was severely criticised by en-
inent naval experts of England.
