periences during the bombardment, being
under fire q number OF times, especially
when he accompanied a British surgeon

"I've seen all the war l want to wit

tions as to the care of the foreign in

LONDON Oct. 13.--All eyes to-
day are turned to the eastward
where, under conditions OF the ut
most secrecy, the Teutonic allies and
the Russians are preparing to en-
gage in what may prove one Of the
most decisive combats OF the war.
Evidence Is accumulating to show
that this gigantic oontncr will be
determined in Russian Poland, the
only question disturbing British ex-
perts is as to which side has chosen
the battle-ground.
Berlin admits having WITHDRAWN
from the Niemeh river and at the
same time discounts the whole move
ment in that region as being of no
strategic importance. II Is now
clear that Russia has abandoned the
narrow point in Galicia, between
PreZmysl and Cracow, Russian forces
having virtually occupied all OF
Gallcia with the exception OF these
two places, Petrograd claims this
operation is due TO strategic reasons.
While Vienna maintains that the re-
juvenated Austrian armies nave re-
lieved the Przemysl fortress and
driven the invaders out.
1t Is unquestioned that the more or less
demoralized Austrian forces, stiffened by
German endorsements have resumed tho
offensive, but there is no informo ton here
to indicate that the Russian retirement Is
anything in the nature OF a rout resulting
from vigorous fighting.
Whatever may be the intention of the
armies operating on the ends of the great
Russian battlefront, It is clear that these
movements have paled into insignificance
beside the tremendous advance In the
center.
Broadly speaking. this is now the posi-
ton or the antagonists awaiting the word
