» 000,000 MEN IN BATTLE AS RUSSIAN TROOPS ATTACK FROM CRACOW 10 PRZEMYSL Czar’s Siege Guns Open on Fortresses —Rusésians Make Desperate Effort to Annihilate Austrian Armies —Casualties Are Enormous. PETROGRAD, Sept. 31 (United Press) pitag to-day in the third general engagement in Galicia. Russian forces, retnforced by fresh troops and fired with victories in the occupation of Jaroslaw, Gambor, Grodeck and Dubtesko, are engaging the entire Austrian froat on the line from Cracow to Prremys!. foreed still further backward. Preemye! is now being bombarded with heavy Russian siege guns, bat a0 far still withstands the attack and an artillery duel is in progress in which the casualties are very heavy. ‘The general Russian advance to-day * follows the eight daya’ fighting, cul- minating in the capture of Lvov (Lem- berg) and the nine days’ fighting around Rawaruske. Siege guns used in the assault on those positions have been put into emplacements around Preemyel. Meanwhile the cavalry and infantry, supported by quick fires and the smaller artillery pieces, are with the forefront of the Russian advance. A supreme attempt ts to be made to anmibilate the Austrian armies of Wank! and von Auffenberg, the frst move in which is the endeavor to cut Gen. Dank!'s forces off. The Austrian losses have been staggering. The weather continues eei4, with rain and sleet. The epeed of the Russian advance bas forced the enemy to retreat without many of their guns, which are mired in the swampe and roads, many of which are inches deep in mud. A daring night attack, the culmina- | sj tion of a day's bombardment, over- whelmed the Austrian defenders of Dublecko, on the San, and the Russian forces captured thousands) of prisoners and @ score or more of Funs, toget! with large quantities of supplies left behind by the Aus- trians’ retreat. “Preemysl is now under at - frqm three separate directions,” War Office statement declared. othe bombardment is continuing, with our forces steadily advancing on the intrenchments. Grodeck, on the of Preemys!, haa been occupied; to the south, has fallen be- and we have estab- lished a line of further communica- tion on the west through the capture of Dubiecko. “The retreating Austrian forces burned Jaroslaw before their evacua- tlon.”” The Russian Government regards Galleia as permanently conquered, and will now throw not fewer than 1,000,000 of its best troops against Cracow, Galicia will be gripped with a force amply able to hold the territory against any new Austrian initiative, while veterans of the Galician cam- paigns, will strike at German territory.
