RuSsinns Report Many CAPTURES.

Russians Report Many Captures.
Petrograd, Sept. 25.-Between Sep
tember 2 and 20, $4,000 Austrian
prisoners, including 10000 sick or
wounded, passed through Kiev on the
way to Moscow and Voronezh.
Allies Report Successes i'm West.
London, Sept. 2G.-Heavy and con-
tinuous attacks by the British and
French have cost the Germans more
than 10000 unwounde1 men taken
prisoners and 90 miles 0. trenches in
the west.
Souchez has been stormed and cap
tured, and an advance is reported
north Of Arras. The assaults began
Saturday morning, and at last ac-
counts battles were raging furiously.
A German official statement for
warded from Berlin admits German
reverses.
While the allies were advancing
into German entertainments British
5attleships were battering away at
German positions between Zeebrugge
and Nieuport.
For several weeks there had been
an almost incessant bombardment
with big guns, increasing late last
week in intensity, particularly in the
sectors where infantry attacks took
place. This prepared the way for the
general assault.
Big Gains by French.
The French, who have the most i'm
portant gain to their credit, made
their chief onset around Perthes,
Beausejour and Suippes, in Cham
pagne. where in December they made
considerable gain. This attack,
backed by tremendous artillery fire
gave them possession OF more terri
tory than they had retaken from the
Germans since the latter dug them
selves in after the battle Of the
Marne.
According to the French, the Ger
mans were driven out Of their
trenches over front of Is miles,
varying in depth from two-thirds Of
mile to two and half miles. The
French in this engagement captured
$4,000 prisoners.
The Importance Of this gain lies in
the fact that every yard Of ground
taken in this region weakens the
German position around Verdun,
from which the Germans might be
compelled to retire should the
French make a further advance.
The French have regained
trenches east of the 'Labyrlnth," in
the Arras district, which was the
scene OF much heavy fighting earlier
In the year. There the Germans had
built what they considered almost
impregnable forti6cations.

Berlin, Sept. 27-The German war
oihce announced to-day that the new
offensive movement in the neighbor-
mood of Lille, Northern France, had

that the French offensive has made
no further progress between Rheims
and the Argonne.
The statement follows:
"Western theater: Quiet reigncd
on the coast. Only a few shots were
fred on the environs of Middeik erke

lying on the far distance, and these
were without results.
The enemy has not repeated his
attacks in the Ypres sector
southwest Of Lille the great en-
emy offensive has been brought to a
standstill by a counter attack. Fierce
separate attacks by the enemy north
and south of Loos broke down, with
very heavy losses to the British. In
the region of Souchez also and on
both sides of Arras all attacks were
repulsed with sanguinary losses.

GOn men. The booty in machine
guns has been increased to IA.
"The French offensive between
Rheims and the Argonne has made

the enemy, which were very fierce,
especially on the Somme-Py road
we'll north Of Beausejour, and al For
memaSsiges and east of the Aisre,

enemy. The number of prisoners
taken there has been increased to

'On the southwestern front of
DvinSk another position was captured
from the enemy yesterday. Nine Off
GERS and more than 1900 men were
taken prisoner and two machine
guns were captured.
"West Of Fileika our attack con-
tinued. South Of Smorgen we re-
pulsed strong counter attacks by the
enemy. Our troops made progress

War Taking Another Angle.
Athens, Sept. 25.-King Constan-
tine and Premier. Venizelos, at a con-
ference to-day, reached a complete
agreement in regard to both the stems
already taken by the government and
the measures which are demanded to
meet the Balkan situation
These measures include mainten-
ance Of Greece's treaty. Great relief
has been caused throughout Greece
by the order calling for the mobiliZa-
ton Of the army. The populace appar-
emily are glad to exchange the uncer-
tainties Of politics for the possibility
OF war. 1t is not thought, however,
that hOstilities will follow immediate-
ly, although it is generally believed.
in unofficial circles at least. that a
struggle between Greece and Buiga-
ria cannot be avoided eventually.
Mobilization Is under way to-day,
and is proceeding quietly. The people
are somewhat bewildered by the lat
est turn of events, not knowing
whittier it may lead them.
Greek Parliament to Meet.
Paris, Sept. 25.-A dispatch from
Athens says:
parliament will be called upon at
its session next Wednesday not only
to proclaim martial law, but to vote
upon declaring a state of siege in
Macedonia and other measures the
situation may demand.

out normally, but without enthusi-

Allies Ready to Strike i'm Balkans.
Paris, Sept. 25.-The allied chan
celleries were not surprised at the
action of Bulgaria, according to The
Petit Parisien, which usually is well
informed on diplomatic subjects. The
quadruple entente powers represen-
tatives are said to have been confer
ring during the past week as to the
best means of acting with a maximum
Of force in the Balkans, as they at
tached little faith to the declarations
of Premier Radoslavoff. They now
are in position to strike quickly
there should the necessity arise, it is
asserted, as there are important re-
serves at the Dardanelles which can
be augmented quickly.
Premier Venizelos, Of Greece, The
Petlt ParlsienS Rome correspondent
''ays' has affirmed the necessity for
an agreement by Greece, Roumania
ara Serbia in order to force the Bull
sarlah government to consider care
luily the possible results before it
takes positive action.
Events May Cause Halt.
Rome, Sept. 25.-Although it is ad-
mitted Bulgarian mobilization is a
significant act capable of precipitat-
ing hosti.ities with Serbia, it is
thought he,o events still may prevent
Bulgaria from embarking .pon so
perilous an enterprise.
Repotrs received from Bucharest
indicate that the Bulgarian mobiliza-
ton order is considered in Russia to
presage hostiities. 1t is said that i'm
pressive anti-German manifestations
there have resulted in the Duke Of

or zV,UOU German prisoners in their
hands and something like 80 guns,
without counting machine guns, and
with a formidable breach in the Ger
man line, the allies apparently have
their long-eXpected offensive move
ment well under way. The advance
has been general. and its effect is
emphasized by the fact that on the
the Russians is recorded.
Petrograd states that the army Of
Gen. Ivanoff has won striking vic
tory over the Germans and Austrians
in the southeastern theater, where
l 900 prisoners are said to have been
taken.
The Belgians also are taking
prominent part in the new offensive
movement. Their official announce
ment reports the capture Of a Ger
man post on the right bank Of the
User, with the consequent evacua-
tion by the Germans Of adjoining
trenches
1t is believed in London that the
new move in the west will again
bring the Germans face to face with
the necessity Of making a choice be-
tween the two fronts. as was the case
earlier in the war.
Military writer's point out that the
Russians are now holding the Aus
trians and Germans on front Of 700
miles, while the presence of nearly
100000 strongly entrenched Ger
mans has failed to prevent an ad-
vance in France. This, they say,
must increase the perpleXities Of the
German general staff and react i'm
mediately on any plans which may
have been formed for new attacks in
the south or southeast.
The feeling Of optimism in London
is enhanced by the political effect
which the successes Of the allies ap-
pear to have had on the Balkan
states. Dispatches from Sofia indi-
cate that Bulgarian diplomats are
eager to convince the allies that mo-
bilization Of the army was not pro-
NOTED by hostile motives.
The latest official news from Pet
rograd is interpreted here as show
ing that the Russians are distinctly
in a better position. This seems to
be true even in the region Of Dvinsk,
where Won Hindenburg has concen-
trated his efforts. The German at
tack now seems to be slackenlng.
Notwithstanding the successes Of
the allies, England Is not blinded to
the fact that it will be no light task
to attempt to push the Germans
from positions honeycombcd with
trenches. Now that the allies have
passed to the offensive they have be-
fore them a problem, the serious ma
