London, Oct. 6 .--The Germans de-
ieated along the Niemen have now re-
formed just inside Of the Russian
frontier and are endenvoring to re-
sumo the offensive, according TO re-
ports received at Petrograd. Fight
ing is also in progress all along the
Polish frontier, where the Russians
are delivering series of attacks on
the German intrenched positions.
At kutnow the Germans were de-
feated and forced to retreat with
loss OF 1000 and two heavily armored
automobiles.
IL is announced that the cars ar
rival at the front was the signal for
patriotic demonstrations, after which
the Russian soldiers, in series OF
wild attacks on the Germans, gained
decisive victories at nearly every
point.
The fighting In Gaicia still con-
tinues with the Austro- German forces
on the defensive.
Russian reports Indicate that the
German offensive toward the Niemen
river from the East Prussian frontier
has ended in rout after the battle
OF Augustowo, which has been under
way since Sept. IS. n these reports
are true II means that not only has
General Rennenkampf been given an
opportunity to resume the offensive,
mi IN q
has been relieved from investment.
An official message from the com
mandant OF the German fortress at
koenigsburg, however, contradicts
the Russian report, and the Berlin
version of the fighting, while it does
not localize 1t as particularly as the
Russian report, maintains that the
Germans along the East Prussian
frontier have generally been vic
torious.
AS was expected, subsequent re-
ports have discredited the rumor that
the Russians were investing Cracow.
1t was hardly possible for the Musco-
vite forces to have reached there In
such short time, but report that
Cossacks have reached the neighbor-
hood OF Cracow is distinctly credible,
as the famous Russian cavalry is
showing an ability to cover the same
in the western war area.
While the allies In the west are
congratulating themselves upon the
excellence of the railway service
which enabled them to bring up all
the necessary transports and rein
forcements, the Russians in East
Prussia are suffering from lack OF
such facilities. No matter how great
the Russian invading host proves to
be, physical conditions alone would
prevent an duplication OF the wonder
full march of the German forces
through Belgium and northern France.
dispatch from Petrograd to the
Central News states that a member
OF the Russian duma. who has just
returned from Galicia, declares that
the Russians captured the heights
four and five miles from PrZemysl.
and that the Austrians have several
times vainly attempted to retake
them.
dispatch to The Star from Rome,
speaking OF the Russian invasion OF
Hungary, says: Having captured all
the Carpathian passes the Russians
have commenced the invasion OF Hun
gary. Advancing TO the south they
have occupied Hosszumezo. Then the
Cossacks effected daring coup. They
crossed the river and cut the raj way
at Cziget. thus isolating the remain
