The Servian armios, under_the personal ,eommand of the Crown Prince, crossed the Save River at Mitrovicsa yester day and immediately moved southward. The Servian forces will move as three armies, and it 1s understood to ihe the intention of the Servian commanders to encourage @ revolution not nents in Bosnié but in Herzegovina. Should the revolution which Servian ‘gents are admittedly fostering in Bosnia and Herzegovina succeed, then it “will be possible for the armies to operate from Slavonia. Their crossing at Mitrovicza will have the effect of drawing off the Austrian forces that have been besieging Belgrade. VIENNA (via Rome), Sept. 8—It¥s announced that an Austrian army of 70,000 men has defeated the Montehegrin troops in Dalmatia with enor- mous losses. The Austrians are now concentrating for an invasion of Montenegro. GALICIA NOW A RUSSIAN PROVINCE. PETROGRAD (St. Petersburg), Sept. 8.—Galicia is now a Russian “province. An official proclamation, issued to-day and signed yesterday by Czar Nicholas making this announcement, emphasizes the extent of the great Russian victory over Austria. All of Eastern Galicia as far as the River San is now declared to be held by the Russians, and they are reported “> eto have crossed the San in great force south of Przemysl and to be march- ng northward to attack that city and Jaroslav in both front and rear. It 4a 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 Gen. Moritz von Auffenberg, former Austrian Minister of War, and Gen. Dankl are reported as almost completely sur- founded by a vastly superior Russian force. Their surrender {s looked for. Already they have suffered terrible losses. They are now penned in North- ern Galicia and in Russian Poland near Krasnik and Zamose, being attacked from the front by a Russian army totalling nearly 400,00 men, with more than 1,000 guns. In addition, another strong Russian army is advancing from the southeast to attack the Austrians and their German reinforce- ments from the flank. DISEASESAID TO BE RIFE WITH AUSTRIANS. But it is not alone the Russian army that the Austrians are fighting. ‘Their sanitary arrangements have been very bad, and an epidemic of disease is reported as ravishing the troops, Thousands of Austrians have died 6f dysentery, and already many of the Austrian prisoners are suffeing from thé dread dfeease. Because of this all of the Austrian prisoners, including the wounded, have been Isolated. That the Vienna Government realizes the seriousness of the situation is shown by reports from the Russian secret agents that Vienna is being prepared for a siege. Thousands of men have been put to work strength- ening the Vienna defenses, and a complete new line of intrenehments Is being constructed around the city. Heavy guns are being mounted, and the natural advantages of the city are being utilized to every possible extent. PARIS, Sept. 8 (3 P. M.)—An official statement given out here to-day gays that Russian cavalrymen are now upon the crests of the Carpathian Mountains. The announcement says the Austrian fort at Nicolateff, about twenty- five miles southwest of Lemberg, which was protected by armored gun “turrets and three lines of fortifications, has been captured by the Russians, The retreating Austrians abandoned their supply trains, AUSTRIANS BOTTLED UP ON THREE SIDES. LONDON, Sept. 8.—Reports from Petrograd say that the Austrian army is in a precarious position, being completely bottled up on three sides by superior Russian forces and its retreat cut off on the fourth side by swamps in the country about the San and Vistula Rivers, BUCHAREST, Rumania, Sept. 8.—The effort of Emperor Franels Jo. seph to get the support of Rumania in the present war has failed. The diplomacy of the Russians has won. If Rumania takes part in the present weneral war it will be with Servia and Montenegro and against Germany and Austria. This is admitted here to-day. And it is also considered certain that Bulgaria will follow the example of Rumania in any future action. In fact this is declared already to have been arranged in a series of com- munications between the Rumanian and the Bulgarian Foreign Offices. The sympathy of the Rumanian throne is entirely with Germany and Austria. But the people are so enthusiastic over the Russian victories in Galicia and Bukovina, where Rumania has territorial gspirations that any attempt to come to the rescue of Austria at this time would immediatel: result in a general revolution. LOOKS AS IF AUSTRIA WILL SUFFER. There is a general feeling here that Austria, no mater what the out- comie of the war, is certain to lose u good part of her territory. It is also considered certain that Rumania will receive Bukovina as her price for either passive or active support of the Russian cause. This belief per- meates all classes, and as a result every intimation of a Russian victory Is received throughout all Rumania with demonstrations of wild enthusiasm. There has always been intense hatred of Austria through racial rea- sans, and this is having its effect with the royal family. Bulgaria had agreed to assist Germany in the war, So far had the agreement gone that German officers had been sent to assist the Bul- garian army, which was to be commissioned to subdue Servia, When news of this development reached Petrograd the Czar sent a personal aide to see his hereditary godson, Prince Boris. The latter was shown the entire plans of campaign, especially those that related to the Austrian cause. So startling were these revelations, it is said, especially regarding the total uppreparedness of the Austrian army, that Prince Boris promptly vetoed all suggestions of aiding Austria and Germany. . Company says it is estimated that 82,000 prisoners tak: om the Austrian frontier, of whom 12,000 came from the Austrian centre, have all been sent to the interior governments of Russia and that there fs difficulty in knowing how to dispose of them, The Petrograd correspondent of the Times say: “The Russians are being recetved with open arms by the population of most of the cities in East Prussia and Galicia. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—The Ru: in Embassy here to-day issued the fellowing statement in regard to the movements of the Russian army: “On Sept. 6 our troops took the strong fortifications of Mikolaev on the Dniester River. The moats of these works were covered by flanking fire, the artillery placed in steel cupolas and the whole of the works sur- rounded by a triple line of wire entanglements. We took forty guns and! large stores of supplies of ammunition, “In Northern Galicia serious fighting ’s going on at Rawa Russka, ‘ a inn btn: vestigation into the death of Mr In the midst of the excitement the Bailey In the. offic of ie a submarine “went to sleep” on the! follows the District-Attorn dis. jbottom of the harbor.

This illness is sweeping the ranks of the enemy. “In East Prussia only skirmishing is taking place.” WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—The German Embassy to-day received the following message from ‘Berlin: “A column under command of the Austrian General Kestranek advanc- | ing together with the Eastern army under Gen. Dank! on Russian terri-| tory, repulsed a violent attack of Russians and captured 600 Russian prisoners. “In the south the Servians tried near Mitrovica to break in Croatian territory. About 5,000 Servians were taken prisoners and much war mate- rial was captured.” 250,000 Russians in France, Both Romeand London Hear ROME, Sept. 8.—-[United Press.]—The Tribuna says that it has res | ceived definite {information that the change in the German plans to be- siege Pagis was due to the arrival of 250,000 Russian troops on French soil, It says that these troops were landed in accordance to plans per- fected by the British War Secretary, Earl Kitchener. According to the re- | port, the arrival of the Russians necessitated a change in the German glans and Emperor William hurried to Metz to confer with the General Staff, LONDON, Sept. 8.—News agency despatches from Rome, quoting the newspaper Tribuna as saying that the Kalser hurried to Metz and «he Ger- man plans of offense were changed following the landing of 250,000 Russian troops on French soil, are published in the afternoon papers here to-day. | The official war bureau passed the despatches and permitted their publica. | tion, It is explained, however, that the bureau neither confirms the report nor comments on it. The above despatch {s confirmed from no other source and up to the| present time there has been no mention in any of the official Freach or British statements of the presence of Russian troops on French soil, For! several days rumors of the landing of an immense Russian army tn France| have been circulated, but at no time has {t been possible to secure any authentic confirmation. The steamer Maiftetania, which reached New York Sept, % brought thé first reports to this country of an extensive landing of Russian troops at French ports. The strict British censorship prevented the transmission of this intelligence by cable, and for this reason the news had to come by word of mouth and by mail. According to one version the Russians were landed from the transports direct at Belgian or French ports, Another said that they had been dis- embarked at Aberdeen, Scotland, thence taken on special trains across England, and later conveyed by ship to Ostend, BRITISH SUBMARINE |SEEKS NEW INDICTMENT MAGN THE GERMAN Leer, AGAINST MRS.

SEEMAN BROS., ALL GERMANY, AS ONE MAN, CRES “VATERLAND ODER T Plan at Beginuleg, Gaeene Ccéthepondent Says, Was Crush French, Drive British From Coast. Bases and Take Paris—®uccesses Everywhere Reported at First. By Karl H. von Wiegand. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, Germany, Aug. 29 (by United Press courier i \s New York, vie Rotterdam, Holland, to escape the British Patents is : has not the faintest realisation of the terrible carnage going on in Durepa It cannot realize the determinatiod of Germany, all Germany—men, womta and children—in this war. The German Empire is like one man, and that man's motto is “Vaterland oder Tod!” (Fatherland or Death.) English news sources are reported here as telling of the masterly fe treat of the allies, Here in the German field headquarters, where every Move on the great chessboard of Belgium and France is analysed, the war to date is referred to as the greatest offensive movement in the history a modern warfare. This city is just bebind the apex of a wonderful triaagie, This triangle is the German offensive lines closing in on the British _ French-Belgian lines. It is moving with relentless swiftness, hammering, hammering at every point. It is driving the allied armies south and weee toward Paris. Yet no one here knows whether Paris really is the tive. The French offensive is to be crushed. The British are to be away from their seasoast bases. After that Paris will be taken, but be fore then there will be fought the greatest battle the world has ever wit- nessed. . To-night the German patrols are threatening Ostend. Part of the right wing has been pushed southWard beyond Lille. The combined British and French forces have been defeated with heavy losses at Maubeuge. Tie — army of the Crown Prince has taken the fortress of Longwy by after demolishing it by bombardment, And by this movement and capture of Luneville, ntar Nancy, the French centre has been French and Belgian prisoners admit that the French have generalled. Up t@ to-night there has not been a real French victory. forces were trapped in Alsace-Lorraine. Realizing that the French tem perament was more likely to be swayed by sentiment than dy etern ad- herence to the rules of actual warfare, the German staff selected its : battle line and waited. The French did not disappoint. They across the border. They took Altkirch with’ little opposition. Then they rushed on to Muelhausen—through the passes in the Vosges they poured, horse, artillery, foot—all branches of the service. Strassburg was to fall, and swift was the French movement that lines of communication were not guarded. The armies of Crown Prince Frederick Wilhelm and of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria are reported here as moving in an irresistible map- ner into France. In a three-day battle below Mets it is declared ‘the French were terribly cut up and forced to retreat in almost a rout. It fe declared that in this engagement the French lost 151 guns and were ua- jable to make a stand against the victorious Germans until they had passed | inside of their secondary line of defense. ‘This city? ry one of the principal centres for the wounded. ‘The losses, according to The wounded of both sides, are appalling. This is admittedly the case on the German side; as the Germans are constantly on (he | offensive and have refused to wait to besiege the entrenched positions, but have taken them by direct charges. From French and Belgian pris- oners that I have talked with nothing up to the present time has stopped the Germans. “It makes you sick to see the way that the Germans literally walk inte the very mouths of the machine guné and cannon spouting short fused shrapnel that mows down thelr lines and tears great gaps in them,” said a Belgian major who was badly wounded. “Nothing seems to stop them. Jt is like an inhuman maching and it takes the very nerve out of you te watch it." Trainload after trainload of wounded passes through here. Prisoners ag well as German wounded are sent to the concentration camps, and later — the German wounded are sent home to get ready for further service, Al- though Itsts of dead are published, the last one fillng three and oneRalt pages of a newspaper in small type, there are not even approximate dgures obtainable as yet of the number of German dead, Describing the fighting, one wounded soldier sald to me: “It was indescribable carnage. We met hand to hand. It was bayonet, to bayonet, rifles clubbed, automatic pistols and swords, The dead were | piled like barricades everywhere. Blood ran like brooks. It seemed like @ horrible nightmare, Here and there in the pile of mutilated corpses a hand would move, a leg twitch convulsively. A mass of bloody flesh that onee Was a man would murmur for water, But there was not time to ald, We had to fight until we won. Then we tried to save life. But it was usually too late.” ia BP? increased COFFEE - - - New York
