ammunition and sent the bulk of the garrison out on
the fororn hope of cutting its way eastward through
the besiegers.
With strong Russian line tightly drawn around
the fortress the effect apparently hopeless from
the start and 5000 Austrian prisoners fell into the

THE KEY TO AUSTRIA.

Przemysl has been described as the Key to the
Austrian empire. The opinion is expressed by the
Russian commentators that it's occupation will facili-
tate the operations against the interior of Austria,
which hitherto have been attended by only insigni-
cant results
Beyond Przemys lies the great, prosperous
wheat country of Austria The population of
Przemysl is about $4,000. A large majority are
Poles.
On the whole Gaician front from Gortze al
most to the Roumanian frontier there has been for
the last four days virtually continuance of fierce as
saults and counter assaults during which trenches
and small villages changed hands many as four
times.
