AUSTRIAN REPORT OF RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN VIENNA (via Rome), Sept. 1 [United Press). —-In an official | statement issued by the Austrian War Office to-day the battle now in progress along the Austrian-Prussian- Russian | frontier is referred to as the ‘greatest in the history of the world.” It is stated that already there arc 3,000,000 men engaged in the active fighting. Every branch of the service is repre- sented and the fighting tide ebbs and flows like that of the seas. While the fighting has been in progress for days all along an enormous battle front, no decisive result has as yet been attained. It is stated, however, that as a result of the concentra- tion of the forces between Lublin, capital of the District of Lublin in Russian Poland, and Grubieszow (Grubeschow?), Russian Poland, a distance of 60 miles, the fighting there has become almost a hand-to-hand engagement, and a de- cisive result, so far as that section of the battleground is concerned, cannot very much longer be delayed. The Russians are putting forth desperate efforts to break the strength of the Austrian invasion of Russian Poland, fearing the effect of a success at this point on the general situation in Poland. In addition it is known that the present Austrian move ments ‘are in accordance with the general plan of campaign as agreed on between the Austrian and the German general staffs. The Austrian War Office claims the Russian invasion of Austrian territory has been more than offset by the suc- cesses of Austrian arms in Russian Poland, RUSSIAN REPORT OF THEIR ‘CAMPAIGN, ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 1 (United Press).—The official account of the situation at the front, as made public by the War Office, raya: “The German defense hus stiffened and we are sustaining severe losses, but the Germans are losing far more thin we are, i and despite the arrival of fresh troops, who have strengthened the German lines, the enemy will be unable to withstand our assault, In Galicia our army continues victorious, und the Aus- trians, who managed to invade Russian Poland ia ao attempted The Press Publishing PARIS REPORTS NEW YORK, TUESDAY, Yor World).

BRITISH REPSRT ON THE ALLIES LONDON, Sept. 1 [Associated Press].—On the anni of the battte of Sedan, yap troops are battling on French frontier—the Germans in a headlong effort celebrate the day with a dramatic success; the French, backed by their British allies, to avenge their defeat of forty-four years ago. That the Germans have gained ground in their encire! movement on the French teft wing is admitted by the Fi Foreign Office, but it also is asserted that, after a days’ battle in this region, the Anglo-French line, although pushed back, still remains unbroken, This is described as the ‘wearing down” policy on the part of the allied armies, and it is claimed that the losses. of the attacking forces have been enormously greater than have those of the defenders. > The heaviest fighting appears to be taking place along aline from Peronne, in the Department of Somme, to Vervins, in the Department of Aisne, and there the flower of Emperor William's army is trying to pierce the British defense. The only points where the French claim to have gained positive successes are in the Vosges Mountains and in Lorraine, where the Germans are said to be in retreat. FRENCH REPORE ON THE ALLIES, PARIS, Sept. | [Associated Press].—The position of allied armies, according to the opinion of French military experts, is good. The Germans, it is said, are attempting a \ movement which, if it fails, will leave them in a dangerous situation with their troops exhausted. | The British army, fresh and rested, the experts say, is about to engage the extreme German right and to support the French, who have been retiring slowly for several days, Official announcement was made this afternoon to the effect that the Minister of War has decided to call out ime . mediately all the reservists in the country who have not | been previously summoned to the colors. A despatch to the Havas Agency from Ghent, dated 7 Aug. 31, says that railroad and telegraphic communication 4 between that city and Grammont, in East Flanders, twent one miles south of Ghent, has been re-established, This whole district has been cleared of the enemy.
