Berlin, Oct. 26 (by wireless to Say

tween the Austro Germans and the
Russians on the River Narayuvka, IN
Galicis, the military critic OF the
Overseas News Agency writes:
"The battle of Narayuvka, after
seven days OF violent fighting, has
terminated completely in Gerrnany's
favor. The renewed Russian attempt
to reach Lemberg, the Galician capt,
tai, once more has failed, in spite OF
gigantic sanguinary sacrifices.
"The Russians lost in prisoners
more than 5000 men. as well as
large number OF machine guns, mine
throwers and pioneer material. The
41st Russian Division was completely
routed, while the Sd Finnish Division
was almost annihilated, only a small
number Of these troops remaining"

London. Oct. 25.-In the face Of five
desperate counter blows the French
maintained to-day all the ground won
In Yesterdays smashing drive north OF
Verdun. The last three of these as
saults followed one another IN RAPID
succession to-day. They we're carried
out by forces greatly strengthened from
other fronts, but they failed utterly
before the sturdy defence Of the French
troops.
Some hint Of the power and the sud
denness OF the French attack is fur
nished in the number OF prisoners
swept into the ranks of the advancing
forces. More than $500 Germans, in
Guiding the commander of Fort Douau-
mont, were captured in the grand as
sault. This total is being swelled with
every fresh attempt of the enemy to re-
gain some of the lost ground.
Leave Scores of Dead
Last night the troops of the Crown
Prince savagely assailed the new
French positions In the Haudromont
quarry. The French guns and the
stern resistance Of the poiius SHAT
tered this attack in quick order. As
the Germans retrested they left scores
OF their cOmraOcS OH AHc paI'icHeAo
dead and wounded.
The second counter attack was hurled
against the French lines in the Dam
loup Battery at o'clock this morning
II failed to wrest back foot Of the
ground.
In the time intervening between
these two assaults the French were
busy clearing out Fort Douaumont and
strengthening their positions to with
stand the counter blows they knew
would follow. During the morning
French observers reported that the
enemys forces were rapidly receiving
reinforcements, probably from the
Somme front.
Then came the three successive as
saults. more violent than those before.
These were hurled against the French
lines in the region Of Haudromont and
Douaumont. During the rest of the
day the Germans contented themselves
with a furious bombardment OF the
French positions, leaving the poilus
free to consolidate the new ground and
prepare for the still greater efforts eH-
pected from the enemy.

MARINES FROM ATHENS
King of Greece Declares Loyalty
TO Entente Allies

Athens, Oct. 25.-French marines
soon may be withdrawn from Athens
and Pir@us. A conference between
King Constantine and the French Min
lister yesterday cleared up the situation
considerably.
The King. according to an official
statement issued by the Greek govern
ment, expressed his loyalty to the En-
tente Allies, and the French Minister
assured the monarch that the Entente
desired to establish friendly relations
with the Hellenic government on the
basis Of maintenance Of benevolen
neutrality. in conformity with previous
agreements.
The communication denied that the
French government had demanded the
transfer of the Greek military forces
from Thessaly or the surrender Of all
war materials. King Constantine never
declared, it is asserted, that he was
prepared to break off relations with the
Entente.
