RUSSIAN ARMY
NOW BELIEVED!
TO Be SAFE.
Retreat of Cars Forces Contin.
ues But Army Has Been
Saved.
ENGLISH COAL MINERS
ON STRIKE ONCE MORE
Expected Now That Serbia Will
Concede Territory to
Bulgaria.

London, Aug. 27.-The Germans, in
full possession Of the entire Brest-
Litoysk line, have resumed the Of
fensive in the Baltic provinces and
are pressing the Russians most in
the district southeast OF Mithau and
to the east of kovno in an effort to
reach the main line of railway which
passes through wilma and Vinsk to
Petrograd
This may in time prove the most
important Of the German operations,
although at present they are using
more troops in the pursuit of the
Russians who are retiring from Brest-
Litovsk and the line on either side
of the fortress.
Still Retreating.
1t is expected however, that with
the fall of Brest-Litovsk, which had
been followed by that Of Olita, south
of Kovno. the armies of Field Mar
shall Won Hindenbe:g will be reinforc-
ed and make another attempt to cut
off the retreat of the Russians. 1t
is believed here, however, that it now
is too late to accomplish this pur-
pose.
The Russians, apparently, have
evacuated both Brest-LitOvsk and Oil
ia, before the Germans arrived as the
latter make no claim to the capture
OF guns and booty.
The intimation that the Russians
have fortified another front, pending
an opportunity for a renewed offen-
sive, has received some confirmation.
1t is stated that the new line is being
strengthened by all the latest moth
DDS known to military engineers. The
Russian armies still are intact with
virtually all their supplies and pros
poets OF more plentiful suppy Of am
munition.
French Make Headway.
The capture of several German
trenches in the Vosges was reported
by Paris this evening, but what is con-
sidered more significant is the contin-
ued activity of the air squadron.
which has been bombarding German
positions in France as we'll as muri-
tion factories across the German bor-
der.
There has been no further news
from the Dardanelles or the Balkans.
but it now is certain that Serbia is
prepared to make the necessary sacri-
fees to satisfy Bulgaria and gain her
cooperation in behalf Of the Allies.
1t may be several days, however, be-
fore the Serbian reply to the repre-
sentations of the Entente Powers is
received.
Strike Threatened.
Wales is threatened with another
coal strike as the result of dissatis-
faction among the miners, with the
way in which the settlement recently
arranged by David-Lloyd George, min
lister of munitions, is being interpreted
Iby the mine owners. Some 10000
men, already are out, contrary to the
advice of their leaders.
London, Aug. pa dispatch to
Reuters Telegram company from tle
Dardanelles, dated August 19, says:
For the moment, the severe fight
ing has come to stop along the front
of our new positions, after the week
of battles which followed the landing
at Suvla bay. The most important
advantage secured has been large
extension of the territory held by us
on the northern shore of the penin-
sula. Resting upon Suvla bay, with
it's left occupying the long ridge which
follows the coast inland for several
miles, our army, holds the plains
southwark to where the heights of
Anzac look down upon it, SO that We
are in virtual possession from t1e
cliffs overlooking the Gulf OF Saros,
almost to Gaba Kepe."
Lose Some Ground.
The battle for Sari Bair hill, which
the Australian and New Zealanders
captured, but we're compelled to evac-
uate because the troops OF their left
did not advance far enough, was a
most desperate one, according to the
correspondent, who says:
Gully Filled With Dead.
"Tne dead lie thick everywhere.
and the stencil is appalling. On the
9th the Turks came down in great
numbers from the ridge above and
tried to sweep our men off the hill
entirely. They, themselves, were
driven back, however, with frightful
losses. Being unable to bury their
dead, the Turks drove their bodies
down the gullies until they are stop
ped by the nature of the ground.
while others, thrown after them, are
stopped by the first. Consequently.
the whole gully is choked with Turk
ish dead"
