SERVlANS WIN DECISIVE VIC
TORY OVER AUSTRIANS.

An official statement issued at N1sh
Seryia gives new and fuller details of
the battle of Jedar. The Austrian
force of 100000 men held favorable
position. By it's retreat it admitted
defeat. The Austrians left on the
field of battle 10000 dead and more
than 1000 wounded according to the
report.
Altogether" continues the state
ment, 100000 of the enemy were
placed hors de combat. We have sent
to the interior more than 1000 men,
whom we took prisoners, and have
captured political guns, much ammu-
milton, the material for the construc-
| ton of a 6O0-meter bridge and train.
The battle was of great Importance
because it was decisive. The enemy
retreated to Santzek."
Regarding the progress Of the bat
| tie which the Germans are waging on
French and Belgian soil, both French
and British governments are virtually
keeping silence. The movements OF
the troops are meagerly reported and
it has been impossible through these
reports to form any adequate idea oil
how the tide of battle is flowing.

NO SACRIFICE TO OGREAT FOR
GERMANS FOR SUCCESS.

The departure of Emperor William
as much AS the press was permitted to
know or report about it, may be said
to mark the beginning of this great
European war, so far as Germany is
concerned.
AS in 1870, the more important of
the Emperor's advisers went to the
front with him. The party included
Secretary of State Won Jagow. War
Minister Won Falkenhayn and other
high governmental and army officials.
The plan of campaign is that
thought out many years ago and never
since departed from-to bend all ener-
gies at the very outset to the smashing
of Germans Western neighbor Rus
STA is to be left to Austria until France
shall have been disposed of.

with the officers of the general staff

confidence in an eventual and absO-
lutte victory.

for a moment doubted, but the men
in charge of operations are determin-
ed to make any sacrifice, no matter
how appalling.
The people are inclined to under
| rate the size of the task before the
German arms. They are, however
ready to pay the cost of victory, how
ever great it may be.
| A marked feature of the situation
has been the wonderful manner in
which the German mobilization was
carried out. Everything was pre-
pared in advance. There was no

ton a single question from any per

work. Not one instruction had beer
