northern flank of General Burssiloff's $
from the Austrian resistance, consd-
erab!y stiffened by the arrival OF a
large number of German reinforce
ments has succeeded in checking the
Russian drive between Lutsk and
Kcvel which, directed against Vladf-
mir Nolynski. aims at destroying the
Austrian communication between
kOVel and Lemberg. But in spite of
the violent Austro-German counter
attacks, one of which broke through
the Russian lines. the latest reports
are to the effect that the Russians
have again resumed progress in this
sector after taking the usual toll of
prisoners. On the southern fla nix
the Austrians have been unable to
check even momentarily the Russian
advance toward Kolemea and toward
the final Dnester fertilization of
Halich.

GERMAN STORY
AvIAT0RS RAID
BRITISH STORES
IN NORTH FRANCE

Berlin, Sept 26, (By Wireless to Tie
Assecia ted Press, Via Tuckerson, N. j.,
Sent. 2D.-The story of the destruc-
ton by German aviators on the night
of July 20 of huge British ammunition
stores at Audruicq. in northern
France. 10 miles southeast of Calais,
is published by the semi official Nord
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. Accord
ing to this newspaper, German avia-
tors kept watch for months as the am
munition storehouses were being built
When the aviators had satisfied them =
selves that the storehouses were filled
they undertook the attack in the night,
dropping bombs which are said to have
caused the explosion of every one of
the dozens of storehouses and set fire
to barracks and other military estab-
lishments over wide area. Photo
graphs taken by the aviators on the
following day when contrasted with
pictures taken the day before the at
tack, showed only huge craters, where
the ammunition plant had been, leav-
ing no doubt as to the completeness of
the destruction wrought.
tung says it assumes that this attack
is the one referred to in a letter pub
lished in New York on Sept. 8, and
signed by J. King, who was described
as a member of the British House of
Commons, although in this letter the
explosion was said to have occurred
"about Aug. Is last" If this is not the
incident referred to by Mr.. King. the
newspaper says, then the British loss
is doubled.
The letter credited to Mr.. King said
a German aviator had blown up an
ammunition depot, causing the great
est explosion the world has ever had,
at a loss of about $25,000,0O0. The
writer said news of the explosion was
being withheld by the British censor.
No reference has been made to such
an occurrence in either the British or
German official communications.

Sir Richard Crawford Met the

British Delay in Answering

Washington, Sept. E.-There will be no
diplomatic incident over the conference
at New York Monday between Sir Rich
ard Crawford, trade adviser of the Brit
sh embassy. and a group of leading
American exporters. State department
officials let it be known today that it was
deemed that Sir Richard had not gone
far enough to violate diplomatic proprie-
ty. At the embassy surprise was ex-
pressed that any question had been raised
in connection with the conferences. Ofn-
GERS of the embassy pointed out that Sir
Richard went to New York in a purely
informal and unofficial way simply to lay
a statement of facts before a few large
exporters. 1t was explained that the
trade adviser was in no sense a negotia
tor, nor did he have any proposals to
make, and that there was no thought Of
going over the head of the state depart
ment in the matter. Secretary Lansing
was fully informed as to the plan.
Sir Richard himself explained that he
had not expected to meet such a large
body of men as gathered to receive him
and had intended to confine his discus
sion entirely to the censorship until press
ed about the blacklist. Then. he said, he
merely explained the British side and Of
fered no suggestion, and the statement
given to the press was called for by the
exporters as essential to prevent con-
