Artillery continues active on all the battle fronts of Europe, but only on the Transylvanian-Rumanian border has the infantry been engaged to any great extent. Bad weather hampers operations in France; the Russians and Austro-Germans on the eastern line are resting; as are the entente al. lied forces and the armies of the cen- tral powers in Macedonia and the Aus- trians and the Italians have yet to re- new their desperate fighting of a few weeks ago along the Isonzo. Along the whole line of the lower Carpathians, from the Iron Gate to the border of Bukowina, the Rumanian armies are reported unofficially to be attacking the Austro-Hungarian forc- es. The defenders of Transylvania, the same report says, have retired to the second fortified line of their de- fenses. Northeast of Kronstadt, the Austro- Hungarians have taken new positions west of Csik Szereda on the Atula river, after fighting with the Ruma- nians.

On the Somme front in northwest France French forces have made pro- gress in local operations south of Es- tres and southwest of Soyecourt Wood, North of the Somme there has been no campaign. Canonading has been principally on all the fronts in France. On all the fronts on which they are engaged, British forces during tha month of August lost approximately 128,000 men, killed, wounded and miss- ing. Apnearing on the British casual- ty list for August are names of 4,711 officers and 123,234 men of eothex ranks. —_— GERMAN STEAMER MARIE RAN BRITISH BLOCKADE Now Classed With the Emden and Moewe—Exciting Escapes. Berlin, Aug. 21, by Wireless to Tuckerton, N. J—A brief account of the voyage of the German steamship Marie, which reached the Dutch har- bor of Batavia on May 13, after es- caping the British blockade against German East Africa, instead of tak- ing refuge in an African river, as then reported, shows that the vessel left Germany in January with a cargo of supplies for the German forces fight- ing in East Africa. The Marfe suc- cessfully ran the blockades in the North _Sea and at _the mouth of the Sudi_River, and delivered her cargo which, German officials say, enabled the German soldiers to continue their resistance against the forces of the Entente Allies invading the German colony. German naval officers say the expe- dition deserves to rank with the cruis- es of the commerce raiders Emden and Moewe. The Marie was unarmed. Three times she broke blockades es- tablished by warships of the Entente Allies, and on the last occasion she was forced to run in darkness within fifty yards of a British zunboat which was patrolling the River Sudi. During a several days’ bombardment British 5 and_ gunboats, were fired, the Maric was hit 105 times. Nevertheless the vessel was able to reach a neutral harbor.
