RUSSIANS ENVEL0P
AUSTRIAN FORTS

Petrograd, Sept. 23.-The main Rus
sian army has pressed onward after
enveloping the Przemysl-Jaroslaw line
along the San and is moving against
the Austrian positions.
This was the substance of the lat
est war Office statement.
1t announced that the operations
were of necessity slow, but that there
has not been encountered any oppo-
sition that has required any change
in the original plan of campaign. 1t
Is considered certain the real resist
ance on a large scale will be encoun-
tered along the lines of the Cracow
Notifications.
There the Austrian reserves have
been massed and heavily reinforced by
the German landwehr corps which
have been especially detailed for sery,

The Russian forces are moving
slowly westward through Galicia
awaiting the arrival of at least a por-
ton of the army of 100000 that is
proceeding through Poland TO the front.

BERLIN RACES AT
JOHN BULL SIGNS
Anything French or Russian
StiTS Ire OF Germans.

Berlln.-one of the Accomplishments
of the European war which could, I'M
der less serious conditions, be a fair
subject for amusing comment, is the
sudden rage that has manifested itself
against everything English. French and
Russian.
This feeling has reached such O pitch
that French and English pictures have
been withdrawn from public view at
the Berlin museums. In the Kaiser
Friedrich museum priceless old books,
with wood e~ngravings by Gustave
Dore, have been withdrawn.
Following the declaration of war by
Great Britain groups paraded the main
streets and made demonstrations be-
fore shops with offending signs. Many
American firms, which advertised
branches In Paris and London, suffer

such ridiculous lengths that prominent

parting, a salutation that has been In
use since the eighteenth century.

BATTLE OF AISNE
BECOMES A SIEGE

London, Sept. 23.-The correspond
ent of the Times in Paris, discussing
the big battle, says:
THE battle of the Aisne continues,
with the allies making slow progress
against extraordinary difficulties.
1T Is no longer, properly speaking,
a battle, but a siege, the Germans
having constructed along their hun
dred-mlle front a series of small
f~ortresses from the Disc to the Meuse,
made of old forts and disused quar-
ries.
Bomb proof shelters, formed OF
bags of cement, and subterranean
passages connect the easements on
the heights of Pommiers with the
open country by mean of which the
enemy secures victuals and is sup
piled with ammunition. These elabo.
rate works were prepared by the Ger
mans before the march on Paris, thus
indicating that they had some doubts
of success.
"The plains of Champaign are ad-
mirably suited for the French often
sive. They bristle with trenches and
redoubts, but If these hamper French
action they also stop German attacks
The battle of the Aisne thus becomes
a kind of Sebastopol."

GERMANS DECLARE

Berlin, via The Hague, Sept. 3D.
The official war Office statement says

1t is stated that the movement to

In this connection 1t is stated that

BURTON VICTOR
IN SENATE FIGHT
Rivers and HarbOrS Bill
Cut to $2O,OOO,OOO.
TEN DEMOCRATS MUTINY
Majority Members Vote With Repub-
Ilcans In Favor of Reducing Appro-
prlation From s53,ooo,ooo to Less
Than One-HaIf of That Amount.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Opposition
in the house to the drastic reduction
of the rivers and harbors pork bar
rel" appropriation bill from $4,000
900 to 5000, 600, ordered by the SEN
ate, looms up formidably.
Senator Burton of Ohio, leader of
the flibuster against the pork bar
rel" bill, was given credit for forcing
the reduction ordered by the senate.
Burton won his flibuster fight. The
Democratic leaders in charge of the
bill were unable to hold all Demo
Gratis solidly behind the measure.
Ten Democrats voted with the Repub-
licans to refer the bill to the COM
| merce committee with instruction to
| reduce the bill to $4,000, 900.
Wishes of the president for great
| economy are reported to have influ-
| enced the split in the Democratic
ranks.
Increased by Senate Committee.
The bill carried SAB, 900 900 as IL
| passed the house and the senate com
mittee added $4,000. 600.
The committee is work.
ing to spread out the $40, 000, 900 di.
rected by the senate over the great.
est number of projects. Continuing
work on the Mississippi and Ohio riv-
ers will be amply provided for. it was
stated.
Whether to make the 500, 900, 900 a
lump appropriation or divide it among
numerous projects specifically was the
question facing the committee. The
reduced total meant that no new
projects will be authorized.
The fight in the house against &C.
cepting the senate cut to $40, 000, 000
was certain.
The now reduced bill will probably
be reported out by the senate commit
tee Thursday.
