Hold Own at Other Points

Along the rest Of the front, except
in the center, where the Austro-Ger-
mans continue to make a slow ad-
vance, the Russians appear to be hold
ing their own. They have thus far
prevented the Germans from crossing
the Dvina at Friedrichstad, where
battle has been in progress for several
days; they have arrested the Ger
man offensive between that point and
the Gulf of Riga, and are still hold
ing their ground between Kovno and
Wilma and between Grodno although
the Germans have approached the out
er positions Of Grodno fortress.
In the opinion Of military writer's
here the Russians now stand a good
chance of winning the race for time.
Within a few weeks the autumn rains
will begin and it is pointed out, I'M
less they can succeed in gaining a de-
cisive result before that the Austro-
Germans can hardly hope to smash
the Russian armies before, under COW
er of the long winter they are reform
ed and re-equipped.
The Russian losses have been enor-
nous. According to Berlin the Russians
have lost 100000 in prisoners since May
3. the date on which the drive commenc-
ed in western Galicia, while during Au-
gust alone the captures included over a
quarter Of a million men and 300 cannon.
The Austro-German losses. too. have
been heavy IN killed and wounded. while
the strain on the troops has been terrific.
They still have. according to Petrograd
estimates. about 100000 men on the east
ern front.
For a week the French have been pour
ing an avalanche Of shells into the Ger
man lines In the west. 1t Is not belev-
ed that this amount would be used sim
ply for the purpose of damaging the
German trenches, and therefore an early
general offensive is looked for.
Except from Kamerun. where the Brit
ish and French report successes over the
Germans, there is no news from other
battle fronts

London, Sept 1.-1005 P. M.-The
fortress of Lutsk, which with those OF
Dubno and Rovno forms fortified trl-
angle on Russian territory just north
of the Galician frontier, was captured
bv the Austrians today, according to
the official report from Vienna. 1t is
in this direction that the Austro- Ger
man offensive has been the most ag-
gressive during the past few days the
object being to separate the Russian
army. which has been retreating
through the Pripet marshes from that
operating in Galicia, and which yes
terday inflicted, so the Russians claim,
a rather severe defeat on the invad-
ers. The capture Of Lutsk is likely
to compel the Russians. despite their
victory, TO evacuate that part of Ca
licia still occupied by them, otherwise
their flank there would be seriously
threatened.

Suffered by the
Russians Claimed
by the Germans

Berlin, Sept. 1.-(By Wireless to
Sayville, n. Y)-An official review
out here today by the Overseas
News Agency, estimates that since
May ?, the Russians have lost at
least 100000 men in killed or
wounded, and 100000 men captur-
ed by the Germans.
General army headquarters pub
fishes a review Of the results Of Of
fensive movements in Poland and
Russia since May 2, beginning with
the battle at GorIiee. Army head
quarters estimates the strength Of
tho Russian troops which were then
directly engaged in that region was
about 100000. In the fighting since
May End, 100000 have been captur.
ed and minimum Of 100000 wound
ed or killed. This is very con-
sentative estimate. The actual fig
ures are surely much higher, be.
cause the Russians saved artillery
by reckIessly sacrificing their in
fantry. 1t is thus evident that the
armies which were first attacked, at
the beginning Of the Austro- Ger
man offensive movement, have been
annihilated and their losses made
up by withdrawing forces from 9TH
er regions, especially forces which
were ready to invade Turkey.
"Garrisons Of half drilled men
were hurriedly transported to the
front from interior fortresses. All
efforts Of the Russians, were fruit.
less, however. They were driven
out Of GaIicia, Poland, CORTLAND
and lithuania. They were rolled
backward in two separate groups.
Twelve fortresses, among them four
large and modern ones, which
formed the Russian outer and inner
lines Of defence, are in the hands
Of the Germans and Austrians. This
is the result Of campaign Of less
than four months"

10000 Visitors

Estimates by Fair officials placed the
number on the ground during the aft
ernoon at about 1000. making it I'M
doubtedly the largest second day in
the history of the fair. Everything
went off without a slip or hitch all
the day and evening. In the various
departments the judging of the exhib-
its went forward rapidly and each was
attended by a large number of people
who were interested in that particu-
lar line.
Cattle Judging
The cattle department was scene
of great activity during the day, the
judging there being done by experts
from outside the State and the cattle
fanciers are taking a great interest in
the work of these men and are getting
some real instruction.
The big balloon went up at about
noon as advertised, again in the mid
die of the afternoon and for the thlrd
time at night. Each one OF the trips
into the sky was accomplished with
out incident and all We're well carried
out and interesting. The flying ma
chine went up on time and made
SCOu night, lIS laws NSAS 'ilAS' 80
tau game above the average, and the
vaudeville performance good. In short
the whole program was a splendid one
and everyone who left the GROUNDS
was expressing himself or herself as
being exceptionally we'll pleased with
the entertainment offered.
Hundreds OF Autos
One of the features OF the large
crowd was the number Of automobiles.

Of SO many different makes been to-
gether in one place in the State OF

of cars on the grounds as nigh as
