ONION, October l4,-Only on the
ASerbian front yesterday were the
Aistro-Germans on the offensive, and
there advance is slowing up almost to
the checking point.
In the west---in Flanders Picardy
and the Champagne-the Allies were
pressing the German fronts hailing
shells upon the Teutonic positions and
dashing forward for small gains in the
intervals of the bombarding.
Russians Defeat Toutcns
Along the eastern front the Russians
have scored in two positions, on the
left of the German line, where Won
TGndenburg was pushed back and driv-
en- several miles further to the west Of
Dyinsk, and on the right of tle Tcu-
ton line, where the Russians won n
battle of considerable magnitude
This engagement was fought out
along the Stripa River, in Galicia,
south of Tarnopol, three Austro-Ger-
nan divisions being routed, with heavy
losses in men and material.
The Russians at this point have
| pierced the Austro German lines and
taken the last defenses, cutting the
| Teutonic front and detaching a por.
| ton of the Anstro- G errnan forces with
which it had been planned to invade
| BIessarabia from the main army.
Bulgaria Declares War

war from Bulgaria to Serbia was is

Italy's Stand Irks London
The attitude assumed by Greece has
oceasioned small comment here, hut
disa ppoin tment is voiced at the Italian
decision not to participate in the de-
Tense of Serbia.
The defense being conducted by the
Serbians has aroused the greatest en-
thusiasm with the British public. The
army of King Peter is eontesting every
foot of the Austro German advance

ton to another and inficting the Sc

It is predicted that the Austro- Ger

from now on, as the Serbians are roach
