Balkans Favor Allies.

Rome, Sept. 8, via London, S:30 D. m.-Dispatches received here from Vienna by the Tribuna, declare that alarm is being expressed in the Au- strian capital concerning recent dem onstrations in Roumania and Bulgaria in favor of Russia. These two coun- tries are believed to be in favor of Great Britain Russia and France, in the present war. The Bulgarian con- sul at Budapest, it is said, was re- moved recently by the authorities at Sofia for having delivered a speech. the tenor of which was favorable to Austria.
 The Vienna Tageblatt, according to these same dispatches, asserts that Emperor Nicholas has written to the crown prince of Bulgaria asking for the aid of Bulgaria against the ene- mics of the Slavs.

man losses in killed were enormous and that a great number of prisoners were taken.
 One French officer estimates the prisoners at 5000.
 The Champagne district includes parts of the departments of Marne, Ardennes, Aube and Haute- Marne.
 A sergeant of infantry, wounded il the engagement near La Ferre-Gal- cher, says;
 T heard cannOnading from Friday evening. Saturday night we received an order to retire but during the night advanced again and took a po- sition on the hillside. Early Sunday morning the enemy tried to turn our left, We were ordered to hold them until the troops around Meaux had pushed back the Germans there.
 At noon the enemy commenced to retire in disorder. They rallied, how ever, to the north of La Ferte-Gau- cher, where the engagement contin- ued all night. Monday morning the enemy weakened again and fled.
 We pursued them twenty mics, keeping up a steady fire that worked havoc in the German ranks, while not a shot was fired on their side.
 We succeeded in cutting off a de tachment and took seven cannon, two machine guns and many prison CTS. One sergeant of infantry ad mitted that his men had scarcely any and had been ordered to go to the utmost limit possible. We learned afterward that an order of the day had been read to the troops announcing six or seven great defeats for France.
 An infantry officer, wounded north of Meaux. said that the Ger mans seemed to be tired out. He counted 600 dead in a single trench. The French infantry charged, as at Charleroi, against machine guns, and in spite ofstrong positions, broke the enemy's line. The retreat of the Ger mans was precipitate. They seemed to lack ammunition"

Gen. Rusky's Big Army Driving the
 Beaten Austrian Force in Galicia Before Him With Relentless Fury.
English and French Force Entire Ger man Army to Turn It's Back on Paris---East Indian Troops Fight With Allies.

London, Sept. S.-10:25 D. m.-The British and French forces north and east of Paris have had further sue cesses against the German invaders. according to the official bulletins is- sued today, while in Galicia the Rus sians continue with considerable sue cess their attempt to enyelop and defeat the Austrian army of 100000 men under General Auffenberg.
 For the moment, at least, interest centers in the campaign in France, for it is felt that the battle proceed ing there is a first real crisis of the war and will have a vital effect on the outcome.
 The allies, according to a bulletin 1 issued by the French war office, have successfully repulsed another German attempt to penetrate their left center between Ferre-Champoinse and Vitry- Le-Francois, where the roads and railways are more suited to tho French movements than they would have been further north.
 in fact, it is believed that General Joffre purposely fell back from Cha Ions so he could choose ground more favorable for his army for either de fensive or offensive operations. In this he seems to have been justified, for not only was the German attack repuised but at Vitry-Le- Francois the Germans actually lost ground
 This has been the scene of the heaviest fighting of the present bat tie for on the German right, which the allies seem to have got around, General Kluck is falling back before the forward movement of the French and British forces toward the Marne between Meaux and Sezanne.
 There must have been some fight ing here, however, as French report that some prisoners were taken from the enemy.
 There have been many rumors of reinforcement having been sent this army of tn allies. Some rumors are that Russian troops actually have joined it and others that Indian troops took part in the fighting. These rumors, however, remain with out confirmation and the more thoughtful observers of the war con slider that the increased strength of the allies left wing is due to the ar- rival of fresh troops from England and France and to the fact that the advanced defensive army of Paris is taking part in the operations.
 The French still are sticking below the Lorraine frontier and here, ac cording to the war office, have re- pulsed a German attack on the line between Nancy and Chateau Salins.

COMMON SENSE IN NAVAL WARFARE

There are many who will profess to admire the
nosurrender spirit of the men in charge of the
German navy but there should be some common
sense in the navy as well as the army If regl'
mcnt may surrender with honor when hOpeessly
trapped and without possibility of victory or es-
cape then the same course is open to the com
mander Of battcshp, who should not needessly
sacrifice his crew.
On land the private soldier has a good deal Of
liberty Of action under certais conditions in the
matter of suTcndering to the enemy and on land
in this war English Germans French Russians
and AuStriauS have all surrendered in considerable
numbers On the sea the matter Of surrender is
