AUsTR|ANs DENY
RUSSIAN CLAIMS
VICTORIES OF CARS FORCES IN
THE EAST BELiTTLED AT
THE HAGUE.

The Hague. Sept. 6, (via London,
Sept. 7.)-The Austrian legation last
night issued the following statement:
Reports from Russian sources that
Lemberg, Galicia, has been taken by
the Russians after desperate fight foi'
possession of the city are untrue. In
reality Lemberg which was not forti-
fed, was abandoned to the Russian
troops without fighting for tactical and
human reasons"
General Won Auffenberg, in a state
ment received at the legation says he
is following up his successes at Zamo-
SO and that General Dank continues
his attack in the direction of Lublin.
The legation also contradicts dis
patch of last Saturday according to
which two Zcech regiments had mutin-
ed claiming that at the present time
there are no Zcech troops in Vienna
who are of Slavic origin from Bosnia
and Croatia. 1t also contradicts re-
port claiming that the Servians had
completely routed the fourth, eighth,
ninth and thirteenth army corps. 1t is
pointed out at the legation that these
troops occupy totally different posi-
ton than that assigned them in the re-
port.

Emperor William Directing
EQhtinQ on French Frontier

ed theory Is contained IN dispatch
from Berlin which describes battle
in a difficult country between Verdun
and Rethol as deciding conflict as far
as France is concerned. This dispatch
states that the opposing forces are al,
most equally divided but that the
French have the advantage fighting
from defensive position of their own
choosing Another significant factor is
the general understanding that Emper.
or William is inspecting the field Of
operations in this neighborhood.
Reports disagree as to his exact
whereabouts but all agree that he is
In the vicinity Of the Franco-German
border. The conflict in this region
must have decisive results. The cap
ture Of the great French fortresses
would be terrible blow to France
while the repulse Of the German army
would give the French chance to as
sumo the offensive, course needed on
account of its morale In the western
theat-r OF war.

London, Sept 1.-THE correspond

fought on the French center from

an extremely difficult country.
"The French have strong forces con-
centrated there" he says, land the op-
posing forces are fighting on almost
equal terms. Such advantage in num-
bers as may rest with the Germans
is offset by the French position of de-
fense.

London, Sept 1.-THE correspondent
of the Times at Petrograd under date
of Sunday, referring to a battle just
begun which If successful as the Rus
sian operations against Lemberg, will
overthrow the Austrian forces and
practically open the road to Berlin
says:
Reliable information as to the prog
ress of the battle enables me to state
that the outlook is no whit less promis
ing but that several days may elapse
before the final overthrow Of the Aus
trian army.
"The enemy comprises at least thir.
ty divisions besides several German
corps and will fight with the courage
of despair. On the East Prussian front
there Is news Of the appearance OF

NEEDY AMERICANS
ARE GIVEN RELIEF
MANY OF REFUGEES FROM CON.
TlNENT ARE GERMANS WHO
BECAME Y. 8. CITIZENS

London, Sept. 7--12:15 p.m.-Among
the two thousand Americans who
crowded the rooms of the American
relief committee when 1t opened this
morning were 100 who came over from
HRyres on the American Cruiser Ten
nesee. The remainder we're chiefly
form Flushing, Ostend and Rotterdam
and were largely Americanized Ger.
mans, who are virtually without mon.
ey and who must be assisted back to
the United States by tho committee.
Refugees from Germany say there Ia
still many American citizens in Ger
many who are unable to get out be-
cause of the limited train facilities.
There are only two trains a day from
Berlin to Rotterdam each carrying 200
passengers, consequently Americans
are filtering out of the German capital
very slowly, Other refugees report
that Rotterdam Is still crowded and
that many Americans are waiting in
Holland for opportunity to get to Eng
land.
A large proportion Of the fugitives
who are applying to the committee for
relief are absolutely penniless. The
crowd this morning was so great that
the committee merely gave applicants
enough money to get something to eat
and issued cards to be presented later
in the day to the finance committee
for further help.
Although the committee has been
well systematized and has corps of
efficient helpers, it's room at the Savoy
hotel have become inadequate and 1t
may become necessary to get larger
quarters.
Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of The
committee, does not believe that the
continent will be free of American
refugees for thirty days yet. Those
arriving today are in much greater
need of help than the earlier arrivals,
being mostly persons Of limited means
who have exhausted their funds.
