ALLIES ARE NOWONTHE OFFENSIVE Fiercely Ritack Gar man Right Flank, REINFORCEMENTS ARE HURRYING FORWARD French-and British Must Push Movement Rapidly to Se- cure Vistory, L ) * Paris, Sept. 9.—General Gal- lieni has received a dispateh from Bordeaux announcing that the offensive movements of the aliied armies against the German right wing continued with uninterrupted suc It was stated there could hard- Iy be any decisive result for several days. * R Paris, Sept. 9.—-The allied army is on the offensive on the west of the long battle line. Heavily reinforced by reserves rushed from the south the army of General d’Amade, co-operating with a strong British force, is making a fierce effort to turn the German right flank. The Germans under General von Kluk are outnumbered and are report- ed to be giving ground slowly. The French movement to s d, how- ever, must be completed before the army of General von Buelow, now be- ing rushed to the rescue, arrives. General French is said to be in com- mand of the offensive movement, which i believed to be participated in | by nearly the entire British expedi-| tionary army and the French Seventh | army corps. The allies are on the offensive at Presby-sur-Oise and at Nanteuil-Hau- doin, twenty miles to the northeast, and it is stated at General Gailieni's beadquarters that the German right hss been driven back more than foi- ty miles. Germans Strongly Entrenched. The Germans are reported to br strongly intrenched and to be utiliz ing to the utmost their machine gun: and their light field artiliery. If Von Buelow’s army can arrive before the German right is pierced the great numerical advantage nosw held by the allies would in turn be transferred to the Germans and they would immediately assume the offen sive. The Germans are ' pounding the French center with an enormous force. The combined armies of Grand Duke Albrecht, Crown Prince Fred erick William and General von Hau- sen are endeavoring to break throug n the territory at the headquart >f the Somme. The Germans seem content, accord- ing to reports from the front, to hold the French right and prevent a flank- ing movement from the east. 1t is plain the Germans have staked everything on the outcome of this fight. If they break through in the center the French army will be divid- ed and its effectivencss materially lessened. TERMGNDE IS EVACUATED Germans Said to Have Left Belgian City. Paris, Sept. 9.—A dispatch from Antwerp to the Havas agency states that Termonde, sixteen miles from Ghent, was evacuated by the Ger- mans, who lighted several fires be- fore retiring. They also blew up a bridge over the River Hscaut to the north, seeming to renounde for the moment their intrusion into the coun- try of the Waes district. Afterward they directed an attack, the dispatch says, against the southwest front po- sition of the Antwerp army and were repulsed. Balkan Sitvation Improves. London, Sept. 9—An Athens dis- patch to the Times states that the Russian victories over Austria ap- pear to have cleared the air some- what in the Balkans, although the danger of complications cannot be said to have entirely passed. The pop- ular press believes the Russian vic- tories assnre the neutrality of Turkey and Bulgaria. RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE - MOVES SUGGESSFULLY Paris, Sept. 9.—An official state- ment says Russian cavalrymen are on the crest of the Carpathian mountains and that the Russian offensive against the Austrians in Galicia continues suc- cessfully, The Austrian fort at Nico- lajeff, about twenty-five miles-south- west of Lemberg, has been captured by the Russians. The Austrians: re- treated, abandoning their supply trains. The Russians took many prisoners and captured forty guns and great quantities of ammunition.

River San is now declared to Lo hald by the Russians and they are report- ed to have crossed the fan in great force south of Przemys! and to be marching northward to attack that, city and Jarsolav in both front and rear. 3 It is the intention of the Russian general staff ‘to take these positions as soon as possible, so that a general movement northward against the remnants of the Austrian army can be begun. The Austrian armies of General Moritz von Auffenberg, former Aus- trian minister of war, and General Dankl are reported as almost com- pletely surrounded by a vastly su- perior Russian force. Their surren- der is looked for. They are now penned in Northern Galicia and in Russian Poland near Kraznik and Zamic, being attacked from the front by a Russian army to- taling nearly 400,000 men, with more than 1,000- guns. Second Army Advancing. In addition, another strong Russian army is advancing from the south- east to attack the Austrians and their German reinforcements from the flank. But it is not alone the Russian army that the Austrians are fighting. Their sanitary arrangements have been very bad, it is s: and an epidemic of disease is reported as ravaging the troops. Thousands of Austrians ve died of dysentery and many Of the Aus- trian prisoners are suifering from the dread disease, it is said. Austrian prisoners, as well as wounded, have been isolated. Secret agents’ report Vicana is be- ing prepared for a siege. Thovsands of men have been put to work strengthening the Vienna dafenses and a new line of intrenciments is being completed around the city. Heavy guns are being mounted and | the natural advantages of the are heing utilized to every poss extent. The Russians are advancing through the entire territory betwcen The Russians, as a result of the mobility of the Cossack cavalry, have been able to command the passes between the Carpathian mountains. This will open the way for an advance into Hungary along the direct road to Budapest. Grand Duchess Maria Adelaide, ruler of the Duchy of Luemburg, is only 20 years old. WILSON SETS DAY OF PRAYER TO END WAR ‘Washington, Sept. 9.—Prcsident Wil- son has signed a proclamation call- ing on the people of the United States to observe Oct. 4 as a day of prayer for peace in Europe.

He declared that dur- ing the Taft administration ‘“the government here was out of sympa- thy with the people, where as he, (Harrison) has brought it into sym- pathy with them.” Science is suffering at the hands of Mr: Denison’s administration, but the Filipino people are getting the benefit. Recently he was asked to approve the expenditure of 500 pesos for photographing the ocean mol- luses of the islands. Saves Them Money. “I had just returned from the Mountain Province,” he told the City elub, “where I found a great demand for school teachers and no money to provide them. Should I spend 500 pesos for photographs or should I spend it for a school teacher. I am not unaware that the seientific world would prefer the photographs, but can there be any doubt that my duty was to spend the money for the Fili- pinos?” Mr. Denison also refused to spend 14,000 pesos for an eth- nological research in the habits of the non-Christian tribes, using this money to hire school teachers, doc- tors and nurses. “If the outside world finds itself in peremptory need of this ethnological knowledge it may possibly be able to find the money somewhere except in the pockets of the Filipinos,” he said. Wanted Teachers. The annual visits of the secretary of the interior to the native villages are the occasions of great feasts, ac- ccrding to the native customs. It is the duty of the secretary to provide meat for these feasts. At onme vil- lage he said: “The meat for this canao (feast) costs as much as a doe- tor, or two school teachers, or dyna- mite for irrigation ditches. Which do you prefer?” And the native po- pulation voted absolutely unani- mously for school teachers. At another point the petty native officers were clamoring for salaries. Denison put it up to them: salaries or school teachers. To a man they asked for school teachers rather than for money for themselves.
