Headquarters ' of Russian Third Army, July 80.—It is seldom that the staff of any army cares to allow a newspaper correspondent to observe or write of its defeals and retreats. The fleld censor's motto is: “Nothing passes except good news.” The staff of the Russian thirq army has broken the precedent in allowing the freedom of its lines to the British official press representative during the whole of its heart-breaking retreat from the Carpathian slopes back across Galacia and even across the Russian frontier, The correspondent's first story, covering a Iong series of caily fights and daily Russian defeats followed by the inevitable retreats be- fore the Austro-Germans’ congentrated artillery fire, is as follows: Biggest Effort nf Germans, The advance of the Russlans over the Carpathians was sure to draw a counter-stroke, and it came just ‘where many expected it, but with tre- mendous force. Thig was because it was not so much the work of the tired Austrians, but ratner the big- gest effort that Germany has yet put up in her attempts to bolster her ally. In a house standing nigh by a church I found the star of the division. There was a hut on the top -of the hill; sitting’in front of it one could see for at least ten miles in either direction. The division was holdng a front of cight mles across a low line of wooded heights, of which the feature was a village with a little church tower. Againsi. three Russian Tegiments were nine, mosily German, 4hd backed by the most formidable artillery. Black Clouds of Smoke. Beyond each of the fianks of the division one could see at intervals black clouds of smoke; one thick .stream of smoke that stretched into the skies came from some distant pe- troleum works. The whole right wing was being pounded with crash after | crash, sometimes four plack columns rising almost simultaneously at in- tervils along {t; under each would breu.k out little angry teeth of spark- [ ling flame; the only thing that seemed not to. be hit was the church tower ‘| which, as €ach cloud died down, came out simple again in the brlght sun~ /| shine. The left wing was in patches | ,‘w of smoke that sometimes aisappeared ‘for a time. ‘What was happening to the center wu not so cler; so after watching for ‘hours the shells and shrapnel ing along the line on the slope, we descended: e winding guli les, drawing a shrapnel as we passed!

The ‘colonet explained that his last ' reserves were engaged. A message came that his right flank wag open and was beinz turned. He seized the telephone and called: “Two companies forward at the double,” re- porting his action directly to the staft of the division. There was a peculiar humanness dbout all these messages; in ~ form they were just ordinary courteous conversation. The question which trought the most disquieting answers was: “How dre your connections?” The colonel ‘on the left reported that Eie liné was penetrated at more than cne point but was holding out. The right wing telephone gave no answer at all. Life there was unlivable; and + T heard from soldiers a report " that they had seen the Austrians in ' the Russian trenches.

Mmolested and were now in compara- tive safety; for we were out of the line of fire, and the valley. to the north of us was full of our own people. Covered With Shells. Here there was a long train of wounded and we found our automobile in the midst of it. We packed in the men with the worst wounds that we uoticed; they lay without a groan, &nd one said: “Thanks be to the Lord and eternal gratitude to you.” young soldier told us that no llvlng man could have driven tnhe troops on the right wing from ther positions; but that the whole area was:covered with shells till trenches and men were leveled out of existence. The com- panies left comparatlvely intact haa all joined the center. Of this section of the line we could only hear vague rumors. Late in the day we reached. the de- serted schopl house to which the stafr had retreated. hJ By morning the lines lay just out- side the town, and the ermang and Austrians were making a tremendous attack on them, pounding them with the heaviest artillery and advancing in close column again and again. The leader of this arvision is a fighting general, robust and active. The staff was'very close up to the front, and from the balcony of the school house the generdl viewed the lines and gave order! Many parts of the lines were now non-existent, hav- ing been reduced to a series of shell- pits by the German artillery. | . Making my way to the advanced lines, I found a Brigadier General and got leave to accompany an attempted advance. It was the first regiment of the famous Caiicasian corps just ar- rived after an all night march, and going up to the attack. A battalion commander stood just below the hut, putting his men in position. He was 2. quiet little man, already elderly and with an old voice, that sounded vigorously, however, across the slope. The men made their way by com- panies up the different clefts in 'the hollow and sgon lined the bridge be- yond. The commander moved about among them at an easy walk direci- ing somé, hurrying on others. Advance on Kovecs, The men went forward on their knees, separating off into what ths Russians call a ‘chain,’ where any one with initlative, by finding cover a little further forward, gives a lead to all the rest.. The officers walked upright throughout.. When the crest was lined, the commander went for- ward in different: directions. On his return he gave a few orders to his officers;. one of them was little excited, and called out “I haves an instinet that it will go right; God ,&rant that it is a true one” and turn- ing to his men 'he shouted “God Is With us.” Except for this, nothing broke the atmosphere of the evening stillness. ell children,” said the command- ‘'What shall I say to you? With God! forward!” Smiles as Shrapnel Lands. One company went off to the wood on the right, and after a few minutes another with the commander and myself moved forward over the bare, hill, leaving two others to follow 1N’ gurve. The men advanced in little oups creeping in line with each other; the officers walked about free- ly, often in advance of the men, or encouraging any that showed too much caution. The commander and er, I branched off into the edge of the wood; he turned and smiled to mie as the shrapnel tore away some of the boughs. At the bottom the ma- ¢hine guns were hurried up, and we ascended ‘the further slope: ‘We were now on a bare height which was like a tongue projecting forward, and 2 hot musketry . lire ‘was opened on us. A man near me cplled out that he was wounded and rolled himself down to the hollow where a bearer set about bandaging him; a shell burst beyond us and an- other called out. One could see what happened to the men nearest to one. The commander ‘continued to stroll about among 'the: men, in the same way as he would have done out of ‘actlion; several of the men begged him to lie down. We went round the height and he brought his men everywhere to the edge of it . and told them to entrench themselves, which they set about doing at .once. We could see where the bullets came from, on the low ground in front. To our left was a ridge with trees,along which we could see men on horse- back coming from the direction of the enemy. To our right, beyond the wood, was a high ridge covered with men, who' appeared to be advancing upon us but did not open fire. Austrian Column Disappears. Suddenly a column of blué figures was seen coming up. close on our front. In what seemed a minute, two of our machine guns had been moved to ‘this side. Round some brush-wood thirty yvards away came the first Tush of the columns; one caught sight of a line of pale faces. Our com- mander shouted orders; a young of- ficer clenched his fist; -our gunners ground out a shower of bullets, and the Austrian column disappeared into the wooded valley. Later in the day, after I had gone back to headquarters, I learned that the little commander had been brought back into the town wounded in the head In the last Austrian at- tack. In the evening I retreated with the Divisional siaff several miles to new quarters. All along the road the general stopped any straggling -sol- dlers and asked closely what had hap- pened to thelr regiments. This was all extremely well done; he was really severe only to cne batch who told him an obvious He. Altogether the retreat, for it was that, was unal: tended by any panic and everyone seemed anxious to help his neighbors, Golng at a sharp trot, we reached our new quarters at three in morn- ing. I woke at noon in a farmhouse, 1n a’'villiage that was filled with the di- visional fleld train. The divisional general had gonc off early to the front to rectify the new positions, The news that came in was uncertain and anxious.

We stopped more than once to see the fight that was going on be- low us. It was a blaring line of fire and smoke, and twin yellow and white | bursts of the Austrian shrapnel being almost lost in the white or black smoke of the German artillery. We travelled very slowly and for a good part of the day; officers and men had a fgeling of great vexation at hav- ing to retire before troops \Vplch they felt' themselyes capable ©of' ‘beating \with any equal conditions. In the afternoon we drew up in a large village full of field trains. Re- | ports came in from all quarters; near- ly -all the regiments had suffered great losses, The trenches had been left only when the enemy’s artillery had made them untenable. In some parts of the systematic’ ploughing up of .whole given areas had gane so far behind our lines that even approach to the trenches had been made im- possible. More Hospitals to Rear, The game was not lost even on this ground, and immediate measures had been taken for counter-attacks the following day. Meanwhile thg town in which we were was under an intermittent but violent bombards ment of aeroplanes and all the has- pitals were being moved to the rear: The railway station was crowded with wounded, lying close' together anywhere in the family manner ' of the Russian peasant. Mast were wounded in the hands or the head, showing that they had. been under devastating fire which hit anything that was at all exposed. There were also many signs of infantry attacks beaten off, in wounds of all kinds ail over the body. & The officers lay here like the rest, separated only by thé silent respeut shown to them by the men. The num- ber of wounded officers is 'not sur- prising, for, as I have explained, they stand and walk while their men are ordered to crawl but the sacrifice in officérs is particularly impressive. 00D WEATHER FOR SUBMARINES-BUT Who in Mexico Wants to Be One of Them Things? It's an ill storm that proves net profitable to the rathskeller or more propefly, from a local szandpoint, the quick lunch. The above paraphrase of the ‘adage, anent the wind, proved its truth today, The trclley car and the lunch room rather than the farmoar and water department were thankful | for the deluge. For deluge it was and | more than likely is, as tne weather bureau gave no promise today of clearing skies. Happy was the man who worked inside and had no cause or excuse to move without.

Ashville, N C., Aug. 4.—The pre- diction that Russla, Germany, Japan and China would sometime be ar. rayed in- arms against the United States and that this country could not look for ald from England or, un- der conditions like those at present from South American powers, was made last night in an address by Sen- ator”James Hamilton Lewis, of Iili- nois, before the State Bar association of North Carolina. His subject was “America as the International Law- giver of the World Tomorrow.” In preparation for such an event- uality, Senator Lewis proposed cal- ling a council of all the governments of South America and then by “al- llance make common cause for he protection of republican form of gov- ernment in the western hemisphere.” Russia Has Grievance. Declaring that Russia had a griev- ance against this country in connec- tion with the disruption of the Com- mercial treaty with Russia growing out of treatment of the Jews, and that Russia and Germany, who “have no quarrel upon governmental principles among themselves,” would adjust their differences, Senator Lewis said: “Then both Germany and Russia will be bound together in a treaty with' an object of dominating Asia from Siberia eastward, and thenm, as joint enemies of the United States they will be found In conjunction with Japan, who, now an ally with Russia, will present to us the atti- tude of one who has earned the trlendahlps of England and Russia 0 turn for the aid Japan is giving 'heae countries by driving Germany out of China. Germany with little love for Japan, but with her griev- ances against us, will be as co-opera- tive with Japan as Russia is today. Then ‘with this situation the concen- trated allies will seize the Phillippines in ‘retaliation for our refusing equal- lty or citizenship to the Japanese. as the ally of Japan, wouid ulls her former possessions, Alaska. To these wfll be found China adding her weight, resenting the grievance t ‘exclusion of its people, co-operat- lng with' Japan. South America, with her now aroused suspicions of our objects in that zone, could afford us no protection and from her we could expect none, for reasons of her at- titude of mind caused by misconcep- tion of our purposes and drawn from the events of taking the Panama Ca- nal and other incidents. England, be- cause of her alliance with Japan could under no circumstances render us aid, ahd has no feeling towards us fromn which we could expect any. But if England could render us ald, x x X you will not overlook that England, if she dared participate, would arouse Russia to retaliation upon her Ca- nadian possessions and Japan upon Hongkong in China, and China upon the possessions at Shanghai and Cen- tral China. Thus we see too many reasons for ever dreaming of .ud from any European source.” Prophecies Not Improbable. To show that these prophecies were not improbable, Senator Lewis cited historical instances where nations formerly Dbelligerents subsequently became allies. Declaring that both England and Germany had abaad- oned heretofore acknowledged prin- ciples of international law and that “For America it is now plain that in any emergency involving her interosts there is no law of nations that can be relied on for any benefit or advar- tage,” Senator Lewis led up to his predictions by endeavoring to show that by retaining the Philippine Is- lands, the United States had itself violated ‘“that prime rule of Interna- tional law—the departure from her for the somewhat less exposed store awning and there beguiled the time with “seribes” and other idle persons who could think of notning better te ¢o.

Previous to entering the Phillipines, he asserted, our right to deny the right of Chinese and Japanese “to enter into our civilization,” was not disputed, but thereafter it was nat- ursl that “the Asiatics should turn to us @nd say that by all the laws of na- tlons We must give what we take and that as we had come into Asia wih our yw;fle they had the right to come into America with theirs.
