The losses of the Austrians in the last two dayg are declared ‘to total 125,000, of whom 80,000 were taken prisoners. It t9 declared that so many Austrians have been taken prisoners that the problem of caring for them is a most serious one. The occupation of Tomuszow entailed a desperate chagge by the Kus- | @an forces on a sirongly entrenched position. The Austrians, heavily -feinforced by the Germans, fought desperately, but were badly cut up and | } forced to retire in the utmost confusion. The Russians took many prisoners hére, including two generals of division.

I rode along! twenty miles of abandoned trenches and saw many guns and much equip-| ment which had been thrown away by the Austrians. ‘aking up a posi- {fom near our artillery I watched the progress of the fight. “For six hours I watched the battle, The artillery fire was maintained fm the distance above a wood, shrapnel bursting and white clouds riving , over the horizon. Suddenly from the wood appeared a black mass, which, on ‘growing clearer, was seen to be an Austrian battalion which fled out and surrendered. At night the thunder of the cannon alternated with the crackle ‘ef rifle fre The enemy's artillery was located and silenced by ours.” It was announced at the War Office to-day that the Russian fleld forces have again gained notable successes over the Austrians and Germans along the Russian-Poland and Galician frontiers, In addition it fe declared that the driving movement of the Russians against the Austrian main army has resulted in the complete cutting off of the Aus- * trian left win ff commanded by Gen. Dankle, and that its captnrg or utter @estruction is now considered certain.

The German reinforcements {have clashed with the Russian advance and the latter has retired in dis- order in the direction of the frontier.

Attacked at Sermaize and at Revigny, they abandoned a large quantity of war material. “The German forces which have been occupying the Argonne region have begun to give way. They are retreating to the north through the forest of Belnoue. [Soissons is about fifty miles northeast of Paris; Braine is eight miles to the east of Soissons, Dismesis seven miles from , Braine, in an easterly direction, and the mountain of Rheims fs twenty mailes southeast of Fismes and eight miles south of the City of Rheims. Sermaize is fifteen miles to the east of Vitry-le-Francols and Revigny is five miles east of Sermaize. The Forest of Belnoue is, roughly speaking, ten miles east of the Argonne regions and also ten miles north of Revigny.] $ “In Lorraine we have made slight progress. We occupy - the eastern boundary of the Forest of Champenoux, Rehaine « villers and Gerbenvillers. “The Germans have evacuated Saint Die. “In Belgium the Belgian army is acting vigorously ° against the German troops who are before the fortified position of Antwerp. “In the Servian field of operations the Servians have occupied Semlin, Austria.” [Most significant in the statement is the announcement that the German left wing in the region of the Argonne Forest is now falling back. Heretofore the German left has held its own and at times assumed the offensive. That it also is retiring is declared here to show that the retreat of the Germans is now-a general one. The evacuation of St. Die, which is in the extreme eastern part of the southern section of the Department of Muertheret- * Moselle, indicates that the French are assuming, the offensive throughout the Vosges, from which they were driven a fott. night ago.)
