Austrian Forces Caught Be
tween Two Russian Attacks.


Petrograd. Sept. 10.-That the Austria
armies Of General Won AfnenberI and
General Dankf have bean completely
crushed by the Russians under General
Rousxky. was the declaration at the
war office this evening. 1t II stated that
not only have tho Austrians been COM
pletely routed but that among the pris-
oners arc many Germans, indicating
that the German rcinforcenaontD sent to
Aid Austria actually participated in the
battle.
j The main Russian attack was deliver
ed from Roweruskwa, 81 miles north
west Of Galicia, where General Rousxy's
forces attacked the Austrians ON their
right flank while the Russian army
that had been sent from Warsaw at
tackled from the rear.
5 The fighting. which began on Satur-
day. lasted until today. The remnant
of the Austrian army 10 declared to be
retreating kotly pursued by the Rus
slams.
The war Office states that the Aus
trtanD fled SO quickly that they aban-
doned much of their artillery, their
ammunition and supplies. Two reEi-
mental standards were also taken by
the Russians
The Austrians are declared to have
been trapped and assailed from their
rear and their flank and they could not
make q successful stand

since the advance Of their forces met
its first check. British military writer's
find considerable satisfaction in the
statement Of the French and British Of
fetal reports that Gin the center our
advance is slow but general"
1t is pointed out by these writer's that
the allies had prepared their center
for the most formidable and dangerous
attack which, II successful, would have
divided their forces. This evidence that
the German pushing tactics had been
temporarily countered has given more
courage to British optimists who be-
lieve that the Germans are feeling the
pressure and found it necessary to
hurry reinforcements from Belgium and
practically denude upper Alsace Of
troops that are being rushed to the GEN.
trail fighting zone.
Reports that the Russian invasion of
Silesia is threatening Breslau indicates
an entirely new move on the part OF
the Muscovites which if carried out on
really serious scale may claim the
early attention of the German general
staff and result possibly in further
relieving the German pressure on
France.
Diplomats in Rome, taking time by
the forelock, already are DISCUSSING the
point at which treaty of peace will
be concluded. The general view seems
to be that peace is most likely to be
brought about ultimately through the
mediation of President Wilson in which
case the International conference nat,
urally would be held at Washington.

in court would have over his wife and
children. He returned home about A:45
o'clock, probably purchasing the poison
on his way there. A few minutes after
he arrived at his house. he went out
