England and France have acted
Jointly in replying to the American
protest against interference with the
mails Not until yesterday was 1t
known that France would reply ST.
multaneously with England and that
she would send an identical note.
The State Department now believes
that the note will not be merely
'identic," but that it will be a single
note signed Jointly by the two pow
ers. This conclusion was arrived at
following the receipt of a message
from the American Embassy in Paris
stating that the French reply, identi-
cal with the English. had been for
warded by mail on September 20 to
the French Ambassador at Washing
ton for delivery to Secretary Lansing
Unofficial information received at the
Department some days ago had 1t that
the English reply was mailed in London
on September % and would arrive on the
Philadelphia. When the note did not
come on the Philadelphia, 1t was said
that it might be on the Pannonia. The

day the Department officials concluded
that the English note had been sent to
this country by way of Paris and that
when it arrives here It will have the
added force and significance of a joint
reply from the two powers whose fleets
control the Atlantic.

Heretofore the average delay has been
twenty-four hours. which entaIled much

amputations.
The greatest surgical work in this

league and interest has been at fever
heat.
Robinson's Flatbush flag winners to-
day are two and one-half games ahead
in the league standings Both the
Quaker City club and the Dodgers
have two games to play before the

RUSSIANS LAUNCH.
new OFFENSIVE.
Great Forces Concentrated for
Advance on Key Front.
CBy the International New. servIce.)

(By the International News service.)
London, Oct. 3.-The Russians, without
lessening their, heavy pressure on Lem
berg, have launched a terrific new Of
fensive on the key front of the east. In
Volhynla, west of Lutsk, great forces
had been concentrated for the new effort
against Won Linsingen's army group and
three Austro-German armies, those of
Lieut.. Gen. Schmidt Won Rnobelddorf,
Gen. Won Dermarwitz and Gen. Won
Tersztyanski bore the brunt of the blow.
An official statement from Petrograd
announces that some progress has been
made in stubborn fighting" but ac-
counts OF the battle from Berlin describe
terrific slaughter which has gained the
Russians nothing.
The offensive was launched after an
artillery bombardment little less intense
than those on the Somme which are
amazing the world. The first Russian
troops were sent forward yesterday
morning at about o'clock The attack
WAS repulsed. Three Russian corps. two
OF Which were guard corps, bore the
orunt of the fighting. One attempted
twelve times to storm the Teuton posi-
tions; seventeen times the soldiers Of the
guard went forward only to be driven
back, the German commander reports
In one sector north OF Zaturcy, the Rus
SLAMS succeeded in entering demolished
Teuton trenches, but Berlin announces
they were driven out by a counter-attack.
The charge is made that Austrian and
German wounded left in the trenches
We're slaughtered by the Russians
So great was the slaughter, Berlin de-
clares. that the Russian artillery was
forced TO turn its fire on the Russian
trenches in order to drive the foot SOL
Hers forward to the attack. Curtains Of
fre were lifted behind the infantry line
to prevent them falling back
