SURROUND PRZEMYSL Fall Means Big Loss to Austria, RUSSIAN POLAND'IS SCENE OF FIGHTING Troops of Francis Joseph En- gaged With Overwhelming - Force of Stas. Rome, via Paris, Sept. 8—A Rus- sian official report received here says that their troops are gradually sur- rounding Przemysl, a strong forti- fied town in Galicia fifty-one miles west of Lemberg, and that it will soon either be completely surrounded or taken by storm. Its fall would mean the loss by the Austrians ‘of the last stronghold in Galicia. It would clear the way to an advance of the Russians westward toward the junction of their forces on the East Prussian frontier. Unofficial news says the Austrians still continue their flight southwest of Lemberg. Unofficial advices say the Austrians’ continue their flight southwest .of Lemberg, and that everywhere ~the pursuing Russians collect arms and stores abandoned by the enemy, while whole detachments willingly ask to be made prisoners, saying that the rigor of their officers, with the privations, make their life impossible. DESPERATE BATTLE IN RUSSIAN POLAND Vienna, via Rome, Sept. 8.—The main Austrian army of invasion com-| manded by Generals Moritz von Auf. | fenberg and Dankl are desperately en- ghged with an overwhelming Russian force between Hrubieszow, Russian Poland, and the Galician border. The Russians are endeavoring to | overwhelm the Austrians before the main body of German reinforcements, ; now being rushed from Grudenz and ; Thorn, can reach the- scene: The Russian .troaps are command- | ed by General Rouzsky, who recently forced the Austrians to evacuate Lem- berg, and it is stated here that the Russians outnumber the - Austrians four or five to one. The Austrians are heavily intrench- ed. General von Auffenberg in his of- ficial report admits his armies are hard pressed, but expresses the be- lief that they will be able to with- stand the initial attack and finally drive back the assaulting colummn. The Galician "situation is improv- ing: ‘Austrian forces on the San river- have been reinforced and the Germans are bringing up their heavy guns with which to guard the points on the river where the Russians might ‘make an attempt to ford it or to build pontoon bridges. The center of the Russian attack is at the fortifications at Przemysl, west of Lemberg. The Austrian posi- tion there is heavily fortified and new guns have been mounted which com- mand a sweep of the river. RUSSIANS ADVANGE ON _ PRUSSIAN POSITIONS| | 8—The Russian | § army . operating in Fastern Prussia|§ Petrograd, Sept. advanced against the strongly forti- fled positions held by the Germans along the River Deime. The Russian advance covers a wa- vering line which commences at Til- sit on the northeast to the strong fortress of Koenigsberg and extends across Poland, through Mlawa, then west of Warsaw through the prov- ince of Radim into Eastern Galicia. The Russians. are besieging Koe- nigsberg, having mounted heavy siege guns to command the citadel. The Austrian armies in Russian Po- land are being pressed very hard and the Germans are rushing reinforce- ments to their relief. The Austrians have failed to make a decisive stand anywhere east of the San river. The German forces sent to rein- force the Austrians have fortified po- sitions along the line of the San river, but so far their artillery has not come up and the Russian advance is being pushed fore they are made any more formidable. LOSSES SAID TO BE HEAVY Germans Drowned When Cut Dikes. London, Sept. 8.—Telegraphing from Ostend a correspondent. of Reuter’s ‘Telegram company. says the German casualties in the fighting around Ter- monde, sixteen miles east of Ghent, on Friday and Saturday, are estimated at 5,000 mén. A number of German soldiers wére drowned, when the dykes around Termonde were cut and sev- eral German guns were lost in the flood. RUSSIANS | NORTH SEA GLOSEDTO SHIPPING Raid of German Ves- sels IMause. AROUSED BY SINKING OF THE PATHFINDER break the German At the admiralty it is admitted im- portant developments are expected. Meanwhile the North sea hzs again been closed to all shipping. - The navi- (5, 08 the coast still burn, munication says ished at any time. cruiser Pathfinder, following the destruction of the Wil son liner Bruno by mines and the cap- ture. of a part of the North sed fleet of fishing craft by German cruis- ers and destroyers, has again em- phasized the menace from the British standpoint of the German naval forces. Whether the British admiral plans another cutting out sortie, or whether he expects the Germans to feel out his strength, is unknown, but there is no doubt the admiralty looks for ac- tion. Very Serviceable Crulser. The loss of the Pathfinder, while not material = when .the .- relative strength of the two services are con- sidered, means loss of another light cruiser that had been serviceable. England is greatly excited at the failure of the navy to prevent the promiscuous sowing of mines in every part of the channel and to protect the North gea fishing fleet. This fleet, whose catch furnishes a material part of the food supply of England, rre- mained in port until the admiralty issued its announcement that the Ger- man fleet was completely bottled up and that it was safe for all shipping to resume. Now that the North sea has agair ‘been closed to shipping it will be dif ficult for the refugees in the Scand} navian peninsula, Holland ‘and Ant werp to come to England. BELGIANS HALT GERMANS Latter Lose One Thousand Killed ir Battle Near Termonde. Antwerp, Sept. 8.—The. Belgian wai office; in' an -official statement, an nounced that the Germans had losi 1,000 killed and three times that num. ber wounded in the fighting south of Termonde, where a German move- ment toward Ghent and the water lines of communication has been halt- ed by the Belglans. It is believed here, however, the Germans have not abandoned the movement. The general staff of Belgium is strengthening its lines in every di- rection. b GERMAN ATTACK REPULSED Belgians Report Enemy Retired in Disorder. London, Sept. 8.—A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Antwerp gives a Belgian official com- munication which says: “The German attack against the southern part of Antwerp (Cappelle au Bois) was repulsed, the Germans leav- ing thousands of bodies on the field and retiring in disorder on Vilvorde, six miles northeast of Brussels. Great losses were inflicted by our field artil- lery. The Belgian losses are not numerous.” Landy Wantage is said to be the richest woman in England. New York has five women build- ers and architects. " HUNTERS HAVE GOOD LUCK Return ‘With Good Bags From First Day' of Open Season. That prairie chickens are numerous is the report brought to Bemidji by returning hunters who spent yester- day in the flelds. Several good bags were secured, and every party had-at least three or four birds for their trouble, while others got their full number as ‘permitted by law. Duck shooting is not good, and lakes where they are usually plentiful were al- most completely - deserted although after the northern flight hunting is expected to be better than in several years. State Forester Here. William T. Cox, state forester, ac- companied by his wife, spent last evening in Bemidji, being enroute to their home in St. Paul from Lake Itasca, where they have spent several days outing. The forester says that the road to the park is in good condi- tion. For Defense of Paris.

If the fourth German army, march. ing southward, cuts off the retreat»of the French eastern armies which re- gently have been holding the Ger- mans in check between Toul, a for- tified town -fourteen miles west of Nancy, and Epinal, also strongly for- tified and near the Alsace frontier, it might repeat the coup which in 1870 drove General Bourbaki and his army of 15,000 men into Switzerland. The southerly movement of the, Germans may effect a junction of the crown prince’s army and the army of Bavaria, which has been held on the defensive in' Lorraine. Thus the Ger- mans would adyance from the -east and north in a vast enveloping move- ment destined to crush the allies’ right wing by sheer weight of num- bers, just as their left was pushed back during the last fortnight. The increase of vaccination along modern lines in India has reduced smallpox to a smaller place in the mortality returns. ‘walghing up to 100 1bs.
