BERLIN, Sept. 13.-The combined
grand offensive" of the allies will be
met by combined grand defensive
of the central powers, who will swing
to the attack when the proper time
comes.
The great war council being held
at the kaiser's headquarters on tho
eastern front is for the purpose of
unifying the direction of all military
movements by armies of the central
powers. Since early in the war the
central powers haze acted completely
in accord with their military move
ments, making it possible to beat off
vastly superior enemy forces. That
scheme of unified offense and de-
fense will be made even more cfsec-
tive as the result of the present con-
ference attended by war chiefs of
the four empires warning on the
allies.
Most favorable reports were
brought to the war council from the
different fronts. The Austro-Serman
commanders sent word that the latest
Russian offensive around Halitz has
been stopped. 1t was learned that the
German and Bulgarian invasion of
Rrmania continues to make progress
while the Bulgarians are successfully
resisting British and Serbian attacks
in Greece.
