 K The Allan Line steamer Hesperian sank near Queenstown today. As she went down in deep water it probably will be impossible to determine whether she was torpedoed or struck mine. Various passengers seen by the American consul at Queenstown declare no warning was given. No survivors, apparently, saw a subma- rine or torpedo. >
 Queenstown messages say that 338 of the Hesperians passengers have been accounted for. It has been stat ed that the liner carried a total of $50 passengers. Allan Line officials ex- press confidence that all were saved. Two passengers are reported to have died after being rescued.

Fighting in Poland.

London, Sept. 6, 12:31 D. m.-Fight- ing on both wings of the eastern front proceeded with much greater vigor than the struggle in the center, where the. invaders apparently are having difficulties in trackless swamps. In the south, near the Galician border, fortune f1uctuates,s first one side and then the other claiming successes. The main offensive, however still lies. with the Austrians and Germans. gs SOn the north flank Field Marshal Won TIindenburg now holds the Dvina ,bridgehead at Friedrichstadt, but has lost that at Lennewada, further down the river towards Riga. The battle in that region continues without definite result.
 Germans Block Gulf.
 Russia has corrected earlier reports concerning the attempt of the Ger mans to make landing at Peranu, confirming Berlin's statement that in- stead of losing vessels as the result of attacks by the Russians the Ger mans Intentionally sank several small steamers to block the entrance to the Gulf of Riga. The deduction is made that the Germans feared the Rus- sians would land there sufficiently strong forces to threaten Field Mar shal Won Hindenburg's left flank.
 Bombardment Continues.
 Saturday and Sunday along the western front brought continuation of the vigorous bombardment by French artillery at Arras, in the Champagne, the Argonne, along the Lorraine frontier and in the Vosges. This heavy artillery firing has con- tinued for almost a fortnight. The motive is no more obvious now than at the beginning.
 No news has been received of a re- sumption of the battle at the Dar- danelles except the French report that the Australians had repu1sed a Turkish attack.
