-Four Great Battles
Under Way.
NO DECISIVE RESULT
REACHEDAT ANYPOINT
Austrian Report Of Conflicts
Now in Progress.

Vienna, via Rome, Oct. -Four gi
gantic battles and two fort lombard
ments, involving fully 100000 men,
are in progress in the eastern theater
of war.
At no point has there been any de-
cisive result and il will be several
days before the fighting will reach a
crisis.
General Rennenkampf, with 1,000,-
900 Russian troops, is endeavoring to
resist General Won Hindenbergs eff
forts to cross the Niemen between
Drussenkenrie and Grudenkno, in
Russian Poland. The fighting along
ter. Up to the present it has been inn
possible for the Germans to break
through.
Another German army is engaged
with 100000 Russians in the big pine
forest of Augustowo, which is twenty
four miles long and thirty-tive miles
broad and is filled with small lakes
and canal that connects the Niemen
and the Vistula. This German army
was driven from the village of Angus
towo and is now being used to pro-
tect Hindenbergs flank and rear.
The great Russian central army un-
der the direct command of the COM
mander.in-chief, Grand Duke Nicholas,
Is made up of 100000 fresh troops,
who have been mobilized in Russian
Poland to move against the main Ger
man army, which has been feverishly
fortifying the entire line of the Sile-
sian frontier.
Big Battle Predicted.
This force was in contact with the
German advance guard, which has
been pushed forward to protect the
lines of communication to Cracow.
This fight, now little more than a
skirmish, is expected to develop into
the greatest battle of the war in the
east, as the German troops engaged
are those who were withdrawn from
the west to try to stop the Russian
advance.
There are 100000 to 100000 Rus.
SLAMS in Galicia moving in two paral-
lei lines. The northern column, which
had enveloped Przemysl, has now
completed the investment of Tarnow,
fifty miles east of Cracow. The fall
of Tarnow is feared here, as the Rus.
SLAMS far outnumber the @Austrian gar
rison and there are no good reasons
for trying to hold the city, as the
troops that would be needed there
will be of far greater value in Cra
COW.
The second Galician army, trayers
ing the southern line and overfowing
to the passes of the Carpathian noun
tains, captured Krosno after a despe
rate resistance by the Austrians.
The combined German-Austrian ar
mics In the theater of war do not
number 100000, including all re
servists, while the Russians have
more than 100000 already on the
scene. Yet at no point have the Rus
SLAMS scored distinct victory since
the opening of the battles.

the market there was not enough
wheat for sale to fll the demands.

ported a brisk demand.
