Russians Gain on
Caucasian Front
Troops in Good Shape and
Fighting With Great
Valor

LONDON. Sept. 29.-Reports from
the Caucasian front stand out in strong
relief against the stories of internal
dissention in Russia, and the failure
Of the Slav troop on the northern,
western and southwestern Russian
fronts.
The Caucasian Russian armies are
fighting with much Of the valor that
marked their great advances under the
Grand Duke Nicholas, and while no
general offensive has yet developed on
the Persian border, they have made
considerable gains.
Turkish outposts southwest of Og-
mott were attacked by Russian volun-
teers, and a considerable number Of
prisoners taken. Also. twenty miles
northwest Of Wanne, advanced Russian
troops successfully hewed their way
out after they had fallen into a trap
set by the Kurds. Then, attacking, they
drove the enemy from Erzseyali
Heights, marking a considerable adj
vance.
On the Rumanian front intermittent
fusillades were reported, neither side
attempting attacks.
Meanwhile, Petrograd tells of in
creased air activity on the European
front Four enemy planes were
brought down to one Russian, the re-
port says, while Slsv aviators dropped
several tons of bombs on Teuton sup
ply depots along the River Stocked and
on the villages of Cigany and Losyach.
and the important town Of Sorostkoff,
where fires and panic were observed.

Ihe Great War-1147th Day

the official French report-that artil-
lery fire is increasing over the Mouse.
Haig tells nothing in his day report,
simply saying: "The usual artillery &C
tivity on both Sides" sums up his
statement. The night report men,
tions only raids and patrol encounters,
but emphasizes extensive mir raiding
and fighting, in which fourteen enemy
planes were accounted for, with the
loss of three British machines"
While military observers Of the En-
tente apparently agree that something
momentous is impending. they are far
from agreeing on what il is 10 be. In
some military minds il indicates that
Haig is ready for another smash, IN
others that the Germans are executing
the long-looked for retreat in Elan
ders. In other opinions it merely IN
dicates new disposition of troops.
Favor German Retreat
The majority of military experts
agree that the chances favor Ger
man withdrawal. II is pointed out that
Haig is not ready for an immense at
tack and there have been no patiently
visible signs of preparations for such
an endeavor.
The interval between Wednesdays
big movement seems too short IN mil
itary opinion, for the launching OF
drive that would necessitate closing
up press communications.
According to the night statement rs
sued by the French War ONCE, tne
Crown Prince has given up, at least lot
the time, the renewal OF his costly ana
Intellectual attacks on the Alsne front.
After hurting masses of men against
the French positions, only ODE beaten
back by artillery and infantry hre be
fore the French trenches could be
reached, the German command mas re-
sorted to a steady reply TO the French
heavy guns. The artillery exchange,
the French report says, is particularly
heavy around lie Pantheon and Hurte-
bise. while heavy firing continues on
the right bank Of the Mouse, In the
region north of the Bots lie Chaume.
French aviators were busy, likewise,
bombarding the German aviation
grounds at Staden, Roulers and Courte-
msrck, and enemy environments IN that
region.
How heavy the fighting was on the
British front in Flanders and northern
France during September, despite the
absence of attacks on a large scale I'M
Til its closing days, is indicated by the
figures of British casualties reported
during the month, showing a total OIL
lO4.59S. of which the killed comprised
1898. These figures compare with
total casualties of 59,s11 for August,
and 1859 for September year ago.
the third month of the Somme battle.
Berlin's report of operations IN
Flanders chronicles chiefly local infan-
try attacks by the British beaten back
at Zonnebeke. 1t is also reported that
the enemy was driven out of the crater
line of the Ypres- Passchendaele road.
AS TO the French front. the German
statement says that northeast of Sois-
sons and before Verdun, the artillery
fire is increasing in intensity.
The Belgian War Office issued
statement in which it was said that sew
eral patrol attacks were beaten back
and that the Belgian heavy guns de-
stroyed several enemy batteries near
Knocke. Heavy artillery firing is re-
ported between Nieuport and Dixmude.

ly Important Crest
Pola Is Bombarded
Submarine Base and Arsenal
Object of Assault by
Aeroplanes

LONDON, Sept. 29.-An important
gain ip the Monte San Gabrielle re-
gion, northeast of Gorilla, resulted
from a surprise attack by the Italian
infantry, according to the latest re-
ports from Rome.
Cadorna described the attack as
complete success" Through it, the
Italians rectified their line between Sell
la di Dol and the northwestern slopes
of Monte San Gabrielle. Despite re-
peated counter attacks, the Italians
held their newly captured positions,
and included in the net OF prisoners
were 224 officersand men. A number
Of machine guns were taken also. The
new line was consolidated and the re-
suits bear out Cadorna's report.
The Italians were also active IN the
air, particularly on the Carso, where
three tons of bombs were dropped. Po-
la, the Austrian naval center, was Ike
wise attacked, the particular marks of
Cadorna's fiers being the submarine
base arsenal.
The advance of Csdorna up the
slopes Of San Gabrielle is significant
only as a forward step toward the
capture of the crest of that height,
which the Italians. according to their
official statements, have apparently not
yet mastered.
By rectifying small inequalities in
their line they approach the crest step
by step, and once it is taken, they will
dominate the whole Chiapovano valley
which splits the Bzizza and Curse Plat
eau.

PETRoGRAD, Sept % (DAY) On the
Northern, Western. Southwestern and Ru-

connoitring.
On the Caucasian front southwest OF Og-
mott, our volunteers attacked several Turk
ish posts and took prisoners. Twenty miles
northwest of Wanne one of our vanguard
attachments was encrcled by strong party
of Kurds, but succeeded in getting free and
driving the Kurds from Erzseyali Heights.
Aviation.-Recnty our airmen downed
four enemy machines. One of our machines
fell inside the enemy's lines. In the FOX
shani region a Rumanan airman downed an
enemy airplane. Our airmen dropped few
hundredweight of bombs on the enemys sup
ply depots along the River Stokhod and on
the villages of Cigany and Losyach while
southwest of Husiatyn our airmen dropped
several hundredweight of bombs on Sorost-
koff, where fires broke out and a panic was
observed. All our bomb troopers returned
safely notwithstanding the attacks of enemy
airmen and terrific fire from anti-aircraft
guns.

BELGIUM, Sept. % Delayed. The
latest British offensive has drawn an
eyer-increasing number Of American
medical officers to the advanced dress
ing stations along the firing line.
The correspondent was told az a
casualty clearing station to-day that
some hundreds of these intrepid yolun-
teers were scattered through this wide
zone, working constantly under Ger
man sheilfre and performing invslu-
able service. They are just as eager as
ever to get a chance to give all the as
sistance they can and learn from the
more experienced officers OF the British
medical service.
These men do not include American
surgical teams who have been sent up
from base hospitals to casualty clear.
ing stations further back of the lines.
The correspondent to-day visited a
group of clearing stations far from the
front, and found that seven American
teams. five from the Cleveland unit and
two from Harvard, had bsen or were
working there some since the British
fought the first battle of Flanders, on
July 81.
II is said that most of these officers
at the advanced dressing stations are
not attached TO American medical units.
but volunteered their services. They
reported to the director general of the
British medical service, who assigned
them to British units, often granting
their requests that they be allowed to
do ambulance work or be attached 20
