Battle on Serbian Frontier-Ac-
tivity at Poland and Bal
tic Frontiers.

London, Aug. 16.-Having recovered
from the check inflicted on him last
week by the Russians. General Won
Buelow, commanding that portion of
the army of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg operating to the west of the
river Dvinsk, again has taken the Of
fensive, and, according to the official
report published by Berlin today, has
beaten the Russians in a battle in the
vicinity of Kubisko and pushed them
back in a northeasterly direction, TAX
ing more than 1000 prisoners.
Sorte From Kovono Fails.
To the south, before Kovono, the
Russians, according to the same source
of information, made an unsuccessful
sortie from Kovono, which the Ger
mans are now approaching.
In the Polish sector the various Ger
man armies are slowly drawing in their
line and advancing from the northwest
and south of Brest-Litovsk. While
they continue to take comparatively
small groups OF prisoners, they make
no claim to the capture of artillery or
booty which is considered by military
observers as a fair indication that
Grand Duke Nicholas armies continue
their orderly retreat and for long
time to come will be able to prevent
the Germans from detaching any part
of their army for large ventures else
where.
Battles on Serbian Frontier.
The only evidence of activity outside
on the Serbian frontier, where a bonn
bardment of Belgrade by the Austrians
and a counter bombardment of Semlin
and Panscova by the Serbians has been
resumed. According to Nish, Austrian
attempts to cross the Danube near the
Serbian and Rumanian borders have
been repulsed, but it is believed by
military experts here that this region
will be the scene of the next Austro
German offensive.
There is some speculation in mill
tary circles as to whether Rumania
as well as Serbia, will be attacked be
cause of Rumania's refusal to allow
munitions of war to pass through t.
Turkey, which is being pressed on he
Caucasus and Dardanelles fronts.
Quiet in DardaneIes.
There is no late news from the Oar
danelles, but information is hourly ex
pected of a new movement of whicl

were the preliminaries.
Artois, the forest of the Argonne AM
the Vosges mountains continue to b.
the scenes of activity on the western
front but no. serious battles are i
progress in any of these regions.
A Paris report says:
'In the Argonne the intervention c
our artillery has interrupted the bon
bardment of the enemy at Courte'
= Chausses and at the Fontaine-Aul
Charmes.
''In the sector of Bagatelle the e.
plosion of a mine has resulted in
