FLIGHT OF AUSTRIANS CONTINUES Russia Reports Fur- ther Advances, GALICIA NOW HELD BY ONLY ONE FORTRESS Fall of Przemysl Would Give Gzar's Troops Complete Gontrol of Province, London, Sept. 23.—From Petrograd comes stories of the continued flight of the broken Austrian armies in Ga- licia, while at the same time Vienna declares that these armies are reor- ganizing for defensive action. It ap- pears from news advices, however, that only Przemysl is standing out against the complete occupation of Galicia by Russian arms. French official reports say the Rus- sians have come in contact with the Austrian garrison near Przemysl and that heavy Russian artillery is bom- barding the fortifications of Jaro- slaw. Petrograd reports further that the populace already is fleeing from Cra- cow, from which city a portion of the university library already has been removed for safety. Austrians Not Demoralized. That the Austrian army was not so badly demoralized and disorganized as at first reported is indicated by the admission from Petrograd of the determined nature of the four days’ assault which preceded the attempt to recapture Lemberg. A dispatch from the correspond- ent of the Reuter agency says Gen- eral Dimitrieff has been awarded the military order of St. George for his successful resistance of the Austrian assault on Lemberg. The Petrograd correspondent of the Post says Polish volunteer bands, which have been enrolled for the de- fense of Cracow, have declined to op- pose the Russians on the ground that they prefer the tide of war should break upon some other part of Aus- fria rather than around Cracow. The correspondent says this indicates that Cracow may be delivered up to the Russians. According to Petrograd advices the Russian general staff believes it will be impossible for Austria to assume the offensive in Galicia until next spring. Servians Claim Successes. The British foreign office received advices from Servia giving highly fa- vorable accounts of operations against the Austrians. The official communi- cation states that the Austrian army “is completely demoralized and panic stricken and flying before our men,” and adds that the Montenegrin army at present is only fifteen kilometers from the Bosnian capital and has cap- tured a large amount of booty. In a dispatch from Nish, Servia, the correspondent of the Havas news agency says the Austrians have been forced to retreat along the entire front between Loubovia, Svornik and Losnitza, and that they are being pur- sued by the Servian forces near Kouriatcitza. The Servians destroy- ed the bridges over the Drina river, but after suffering heavy losses the Austrians succeeded in gaining the opposite banks. The Austrian attempt, the corre- spondent continues, to cross the River Save, between Mitrovitza and Sha- bats, has failed. In Bosnia the Ser- vians occupied the heights west of Rogatnitza. POLISH REFUGEES TROUBLE VIENNA Vienna, via Paris, Sept. 23.—There is a constant flow of Polish refugees into Vienna. Several trainloads have just arrived here and more are re- ported to be on their way. The mu- nicipal authorities are experiencing great difficulty in finding accommo- dations for the destitute, who already aggregate 100,000. Farmers are unable to procure suf- ficient labor for their autumn plant- ing or to carry new grain to the mills, which are besieged with orders for flour. Consequently the price of grain |' has advanced 26 per cent. The tempo- rary suspension of import duties on grain, fodder, cattle and meat is prov- ing futile, owing to the opposition of the agrarian party in Hungary, which is contesting the admission of foreign provisions. LARGEST FERRY IS LAUNCHED “Henry M. Flagler” WIIl Ply Between Key West arid Havana. Philadelphia, Sept. 23.—What 1is said to be the largest ferry steamer in the world was launched here for the Florida East Coast railway. It was christened the “Henry M. Flag- ler” in Honor of the late promoter of the famous “over-the-sea” line to Key West, Fla. = Prominent state and railway officials of Florida were present. The boat will ply between Key West and Ha-' vana, . for reward. = THREE BRITISH CRUISERS SUNK North Sea Fleet Attacked by Submarines. London, Sept. 23.—The British | cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy have been sunk in_the North sea. by |; submarines, according to an announce- wment given out by the official bureau. Continuing, the announcement says || a considerable number of the crews of the vessels were saved by H.-M. S. Lowestoft and by a division of torpe- do boat destroyers. Trawlers and their boats also aided in the work of rescue. The Aboukir was torpedoed first. The Hogue and Cressy drew in close and were standing by to save its crew when they also were torpedoed. The Cressy, Captain Robert W. Johnson; the Aboukir, Captain John E. Drummond, and the Hogue, Cap- tain Wilmont S. Nicholson, were sis- ter ships. ARE BOMBARDING TERMONDE Germans Would Prevent Further Bel- gian Sorties. London, Sept. 23.—A dispatch to the Central News from Ghent says that the Germans continue the bombard- ment of Termonde, presumably with the object of preventing a further Belzion sortie from Aatwerp. Thers bave been various skirmishes in and near the villages surrounding the Ant- werp positions. The Germans have entrenched themselves between Hoftsade, eight- een miles east of Ghent, and Sempst. The fort of Waelheim on several occa- sions bombarded these positions. * The Germans also have taken up fortified positions at Cembloux and between Wavre and Louvain. SAY GERMAN RIGHT 1S GIVING GROUND Paris, Sept. 23.—Convinced that Germany now has the largest field force available high officials here de- clare that within another fortnight or three weeks at most she will be fight- ing a defensive contest outside of French territory. They base this belief on reports re- ceived by General Gallieni that the British-French turning movement con- tinues on the allies left and that the German right is slowly but surely giv- ing ground. The German center has evideutly given up the attempt to assume the offensive and should their left give way the logical outcome must be the abandonment of their entire ‘presént line, when it gets out of proportion with the rizht. The fact that the allies now Lold the hills north of the Aisne river, from Soissons to Craonne, indicates that the German reinforcements sent to Von Kluck, not less than 100,000 men, have failed to enable him to assume the offensive.

Washington, Sept. 23.—On com- plaint of the British embassy the de- partment of agriculture forest rang- ers have begun a search for a myste- rious wireless plant supposed to be operating in the mountains on the Pa- cific coast. Information furnished to the department is vague, but appar- ently the plant is sending messages uncensored by the federal govern- ‘ment. Two Hundred British Steamers Ar- rayed in Battle Line. New York, Sept. 23.—Two hundred British warships lie in battle line off the German naval base of Helgoland, 80 close that at times they appear to touch each other, according to Cap- tain Skelley of the British oil tank steamer San Lorenzo, which reached New York from London. For six weeks the San Lorenzo was with this British fleet, the officers said, as supply ship for the oil burn- ing warcraft. She took them 15,000 tons of fuel oil. The San Lorenzo was with the fleet during the engagement with the German cruisers behind Helgoland, but was not permitted to steam close enough to see the fight- ing. For Sale.
