ALLIES ADVANCE AFTER TERRIFIC BATTLE

ther north.
 The battle has become, to some ex- tent, race between this movement on the left and the enemy's offensive against the center and the right The failure of the enemy to shake off the tightening grip of the allies on the Disc and north of the Somme was ac- companied yesterday by a renewed at- tempt to smash the center Here was massed the flower of the army-the Prussian Guards, which distinguished itself from the outset of the campaign by it's ability to give and take hard knocks.
 'iF'urther to the right the German offensive at first met with some ssuc- cess. The attack was launched in the morning through the hilly wooded country between the road from the from St. Menehould to Vouziers. At the end the French had recovered the lost ground
 Telegraphing from Petrograd, the correspondent Of the Chronicle says:
 "It appears last night as if the bat tie in the wesut of Russia, for which vast German preparations had been made, had at last begun. Now it has, already ended and the Germans are in retreat, shelIing the works of Osso- wetz as they go.
 s"They came across the border on the 22rd at four points. The most south erly was close to Kalisz, where they occupied the district of Warta, and suffered heavy losses at Sferadz (S2 miles east southeast of Kalisz.) An other force advanced to AIlawa Gin Russian Po1and) while another at tackled the government of Lomza, near Winezenta and was definitely defeat ed Another came by way of Suwa11i and made it's way east toward the Niemen where it was engaged on a front 30 miles long.
 e"The Germans strength is not stat ed. Their losses were heavy, mainly from artillery fire, which broke the attempt to move upon Drushkerlik.

DESPERATE ATTACK BY
 ALLIES CAUSES GERMAN
 RIGHT WING TO RETREAT

London, Sept. zo-The past 4s hours have witnessed many scenes of extraordinary activity wherever an tagonfsts in the great war faced each other, but none of these has appar- ently led to anything decisive The official communications Of yesterday stated that the attack on the German right has made a distinct advance and this version is supported by official Berlin advices which state that the allies have made extensive advances against the German extreme right.
 The Belgians have retahated against threats of the Germans to bring up their great siege guns before Antwerp by making many desperate sorttes.s
 itself the struggle still continues to be lacks being made on each flank. Both sides evidently have realized that mass attacks in the center are futile in the present exhausted condition of the armies.
 Another manifestation of the week end has been the. renewal of aerial activity by Germans. zeppe1ins and aeroplanes have been out in force. apparently for scouting work, but in dulging in bomb dropping wherever feasible.

ably under his eyes, has been com menced against General Rennen- kAmpf. Petrograd believes this move, ment, because of it's tirnid front is a diversion to relieve the threatened German line from Kalisz to Cracow.
 The Austrian forces are still retir- ing in Cracow and, besides having taken some Of the forest around to be pouring through the defiles of the Carpathians onto the plains of Hungary.

WHOLE AUSTRIAN REGIMENT
 RIDES BRAvELY INTO DEATH

london, Sept 2s.-The destruction of a Hungarian cavalry division in battle at Grodek is vividly described in despatch to the Russko SFovo. of Per rograd, Of Sunday, and telegraphed here as folIoVys:
 "A considerable force of Austrians fell upon the advance guard of Gen eraI Broussi1of, which was composed of infantry, Cossacks and light artil- aery. He hoped to shater our advance guard and then break through our center. Our infantry and artillery had strongly entrenched themselves and in reserve were several Cessack detach- nents and at first the Austrian infan- try moved out for the attack It was met with a deadly fire of cannon and machine guns and wavered and fell back
 ssThen the cavalry was sent out. The flower of the Austro-Hungarian army, the Budapest Guard division, formed at Magyars, bright-Jacxeted Hunga- rians, galIoped furious1y down in close order. It appeared as if nothing could resist their inpetuous course, not even the awful shrapne1 fire of the artillery which brought death and destruction in their ranks, nor even the rain of bullets from machine guns

most violent phase and that the issue cannot be delayed much longer.
 The losses of the last few days are said to exceed all other engagements of the war.
 A despatch to the Petit Parisien says that violent fighting has occurred be- tween the Germans and the Belgians at Schooten, four miles east of Ant werp, at Termonde, Is miles east of Ghent, and at Hofsteadt a few miles east of Ghent. In the latter locality the heavy German / artillery became stuck in the mud and the Germans were obliged to retire before the at- tacks of the Belgians
 It is confirmed, says the despatch, that the Germans are fortifying

moment but continued to charge at ou trenches One more minute and it seemed as if nothing would be left Of our infantry.
 All at once the thud Of hoofs and the chatter of steel were heard and the Magyars were met by a whir1wind of CossacIs. For two hours the Austrian and Russian infantry watched with beating hearts the scene of terrible carnage.
 At the end of this time of the fine Budapest Guards division not one man was left and the whole field was strewn with. the enemyss corpses- severed heads, hands and Iegs-and dead horses.
 The commander of the division, General F,rohreich, could not stand the disgrace of defeat and shot himself on the battlefield. As was afterwards ex- plained, he had promised to bring to the Austrian Emperor on the latter's birthday, news of the complete de- struction of the Russian army By throwing his division onto the Rus sions the Austrian general was fully convinced that next day he would be able, to announce to the Emperor the promised victory.
 Before the battle the Magyars were ordered to don their parade uniforms

Paris, Sept 28-The- prolongation of the tension on the two long lines of Ere and death fronting each other on kne Aisne must have become insup- portable to the Germans since reports indicate that they changed their tao tics and attacked with the bayonet- The opinion is expressed here that Gen Joffre's master hand is shown in this, as it is believed he has succeeded in pushing his lines inside the range Of the deadly heavy German guns and forced the enemy to hand-to-hand fighting.
 Since the attacks have been repu1s- ed over the whole line according to the official communications. the military experts here cannot see now what re- sources the German generals can call on to retrieve their fortunes.
 The Matin expresses the opinion that the new troops the allies found front ing them on the left were not from the German left wing but are part Of the forces detached after CharIeroi and sent to East Prussia but now brought back in haste
 The general opinion is expressed that the situation is critical as well as the

 Another decree adopted makes all contracts between F1renchmen and subjects of the belligerents drawn since the outbreak of hostiIities null and void.

 When the French troops marched into the city an old woman stepped out to meet them. Make no noise,' she said, :'There are thirty German soldiers asleep in a barn down the street. Go quietly and you will. catch them like chickens in the early morn.''
 The thirty Germans willingly sur rendered They were so exhausted that they had fallen asleep without even closing the door of the barn where they had sought refuge.
