Capture of Strategic Posi- tion on Fortified Triangle Expected to Cause Evacu- ation of Galicia
GERMANS STRAIN
 EVERY NERVE TO
 PREVENT ESCAPE
Russians Have Lost LOGO, 900 Prisoners Since May 2,
 When Galician Drive Be- gan, Says Berlin Report

London, September 1.-QO:O5 D. M.) The minor fortress of Lutsk, which, with those of Dubno and Rovno, forms . fortified triangle on Russian terri tory north of the Galician frontier, was captured by the Austrians today, according to Vienna. It is in this direction that the Austro- German of- fensive has been the most aggressive the past few days, the aim being to separate the Russian a.my retreating through the -Pripet marshes from that operating in Galicia, and which yes- terday inflicted, the Russians claim, a defeat on, the invaders.
 The capture of Lutsk is likely to com pei the Russians. despite their victory, to evacuate that part of Galicia they still hold, or their flank would be threatened
 Along the rest of the front except in the center, where the Austro-Germans continue to make slow advance, the Russians appear to be holding their own They have prevented the Germans from crossing the Dvina at Friedrichstadt. 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 holding their ground between Kovno and Villa and be- fore Grodno, although the Germans have fortress.
 May Yet Escape
 In the opinion of military writers here the Russians now stand good chance of winning the race for time
 9a Within few weeks the autumn rains will begin. and, it is pointed out. un- less the Germans can gain decisive re- suit before that time, they can hardly hope to smash the Russian armies At present the Austro- Germans are strain- ing every nerve but they have been de- layed by strong Russian counter-attacks and the stubbornness with which the Russian troops protect their retreating comra des.
 The Russian losses have been enormous According to Berlin the Russians have lost 1.000,0 900 in prisoners since May ?. the date which the drive began in west ern Galicia, while during August alone the captures included more than a quar- ter of a million men and 230O 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, S00000 being in the Riga re- zion, more than 100000 in the center and from 60O,00o to 100000 in Galica.
 For week the French have been pour ing an avalanche of shells into the Ger man lines in the west It is not believed this ammunition would be used simply to damage the German trenches, and there- fore, 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.

GERMAN PAPERS WARM IN SUPPORT
 OF GOVERNMENT
Peace Desired OnlysOn Own, Terms England Is De- clared to Be Vulnerable
 Financially

Berlin, September 1.-The Overseas
 News agency says
 | "rhe Frankfurter zeitung remarks, in
 an article evidently inspired. that if the London Economists opinion that Sir Ed
 ward Grey's letter indicates a readiness to begin peace negotiations Is correct, Germany calmly awaits further develop ments. The only basis on, which Ger
 many will find it possible. to conclude 1 peace repains unchanged.
 'The North German Ga,;ette says in an officially inspired article that the furious attack of Sir Edward Grey on the German chancellor and the German manys enemies would have to pay the expenses of the war, shows that England was hit in a most vulnerable spot The hot sallies of the British press on the same subject also show that the idea of paying for the war out of her own pocket evidently is much more unpleas- ant to England than the plans of Ger man annexationists who desire to take over territory belonging for the most part to England's allies. These things show further that Great Britains hopes of winning the war have sunk to zero. So long as she expected to win it was generally understood that Germany would be required to pay a huge war in- demhity. Since British statesmen and newspapers are now declaring excitedly that war indemnity is immoral and oppressive. the change of opinion can have no other reason than the convic- ton that Germany cannot be compelled to pay"
 The foregoing evidently refers to the letter of Sir Edward Grey. the British foreign secretary. given to the press August 25, in reply to attacks by the German chancellor. Dr. Von Bethmann- Hollweg. in the Reichstag Sir Edward's only reference to the possibility of peace negotiations was made after he had as- serted that Germany desired to be su- preme and to require that all nations which resisted her should pay her tribute in the form of war indemnity.
 The speeches of the German chancel- Tor and finance minister make 1t ap- pear that Germany is fighting for su- premacy and tribute" he said If that is so. and as long as it is so, our aI- lies and we are fighting and must fight for the right to live, not under German n supremacy, but in real freedom and safety" The Economists comment on Sir Ed 1 wards letter has not been cabIed from l London.
