PETROGRAD. Sept. 7. The follow

day: The Austrian army corps between
the river Vistula and the River Bus
are retreating with enormous losses.
"The resistance of the enemy has
been broken.
"There are evidences of the possi
bility of a famine In Austria."
A dispatch from Bucharest, coming
by way of Odessa, announces the entry
of Russian troops into Czernowitz.
An earlier dispatch from London re

Hundreds Jn Hospitals Through lls
ease, Ravaging Ranks.
PETROGRAD. Sept. 7. The Russian
genera; staff In an official communi
cation issued tonight says:
"In the sphere of operations around
Ram (32 miles northwest of Lemberg
in Galicia) the Russian forces con
tinue a number of serious engage
ments. The Austrian army, which has
been operating in the direction of
Kholm, is retiring, repulsed by the
Russian troops, which have taken
numerous prisoners together with
artillery and ammunition trains.
"Five hundred Austrian soldiers are
in hospitals suffering from dysentery,
which is said to be ravaging the ranks
of the enemy.
"On the German front there have
been only insigniiicent skirmishes."
GALICIAX TORT SURROUNDED
Russians Reported as Covering
Prxemsjl, Big Stronghold.
LONDON. Sept. 7. 10:55 A. M. Offi
cial reports from Russia say the Rus
sian troops are gradually surrounding
PraemygL which will soon either sur
render or be taken by assault.
Przemysl Is a strong fortress, 50
miles west of Lemberg. and its fall
would mean the loss by the Austrians
of the last stroAghold of Galicia. It
would clear the way to an advance of
the Russians westward toward the
junction of their forces on the East
Prussian frontier.
The correspondent of the Times at
Petrograd. under date of Sunday, re
ferring to a battle just begun, which,
if as successful as the Russian opera
tions against Lemberg, will overthrow
the Austrian forces and practically
open the road to Berlin, says:
"Reliable information as to the
progress of the battle enables me to
state that the outlook is no whit less
promising, but that several days may
elapse before the iinal overthrow of
the Austrian army.
"The enemy is composed of at least
SO divisions, besides several German
corps, and will light with the courage
of despair.
"On the East Prussian front there is
news of the appearance of part. If not
the whole, of the third Bavarian army
corps. The troops were installed at
Allenstein, which is being reconnoi
tered by Russian cavalry."
According to advices from Paris a
second Austrian army, operating In
front of Krasnosedow, In the Lubln
region, has suffered great losses and
is now on the defensive. Some of the
Austrians have been forced to retreat.
A dispatch from The Hague says the
Austrian legation last night issued the
following statement:
"Reports from Russian sources that
Lemberg. Galicia. has been taken by
the Russians after a desperate right for
possession of the city are untrue. In
reality. Lemberg, which was not forti
fied, was abandoned to the Russian
troops without righting, for tactical and
humane reasons."
General Von Auffenburg. in a state
ment received at the legation, says he
is following up his successes at Zam
oso. and that General Dank continues
his attack in the direction of Lublin.
The legation also contradicts a dispatch
of last Saturday, according to which
two Czech regiments had mutined,
claiming that at the present time there
are no Czech troops in Vienna, whose
garrisons are of Slavic origin from Bos
nia and Croatia. It also contradicts a
report claiming that Servians had com
pletely routed the fourth, eighth, ninth
and 13th army corps. It is pointed out
at the legation that these troops occupy
a wholly different position than that
assigned them In the report.

YANKEE VIEW PRIZED
British Eager to Gain Back
ing of American Opinion.
ONLY MORAL AID SOUGHT
England, Realizing Part United
States Will Play at Conclusion
of Strife, Anxious to Have
Views Understood.
LONDON. Sept. 7. England is grate,
ful for America's favorable opinion
which the numerous dispatches to the
London newspapers described as being
almost wholly on the side of the allies.
To England one curious development
of this war Is that American public
opinion has become something of ap
preciable value. Hitherto in great
world questions America's opinion has
amounted to little and has received
slight consideration. Now. however,
the good will of the United States is
eagerly sought, and it is realized that
when the end comes Washington will
play an important part in the settling.
England Is not asking for direct
American support, fully realizing that
America's duty is strict neutrality, but
the governments of the allies, the
public men and the newspapers urge
America to realize that this is a fight
against autocracy and military dicta
torship, which, if it ends successfully
for the Kaiser, leaves America In a
dangerous position.
Ship Purchases Feared.
The only point of Irritation which
has appeared here is the possibility of
German ships being transferred to the
American flag and transporting food
to Holland, whence it will be shipped
to the German army. It is con
sidered that this is a doubtful ques
tion of pure neutrality. Some com
mentators profess agitation on this
point, while others take the view that
America can be depended on to ob
serve all the proprieties.
England naturally Is anxious that no
food be shipped to Germany through
Holland, as It Is no small part of the
allies' plans to starve Germany should
the war be long drawn out.
Dr. David Starr Jordan, writing to
the newspapers, answers some critics
by saying that he cannot see the ad
vantage of endeavoring to endthe war
by starving millions of women and
children who are in nowise responsible
for It.
The Spectator sums up what appears
to be the general opinion as follows:
"Although we are very grateful for
the strong moral support of the Amer
icans, we must not, whatever our ex
tremities may be in thje struggle be
fore us, look for anything more than
good wishes from the United States.
Her proper course, her natufel course,
the course which Is prescribed by in
ternational duty, as well as by self
interest, is to remain neutral in the
strictest possible sense of the word."
German Atrocities Criticised.
Another "American" phase of the
war is seen in the Japanese action. It
is generally recognized that America's
agitation concerning it is perfectly
justifiable, and it is quite obvious that
English public opinion will demand
that Japan fulfill all her obligations
and engagements, particularly as to re
turning Kiau-Chau to China. There is
keen desire on the part of the allies
fully to impress America regarding
German atrocities.
The London newspapers reproduce
American editorial comment deploring
the Zeppelin attack on Antwerp, and
indicating wholesale American crit
icism. There are countless charges ap
pearing in the English and French
press of horrible German atrocities.
The more conservative commentators
reserve their opinion regarding these
charges considering them something
to be expected in times of war and
waiting for specific proof, but there
is no concealing the fact that there Is
the bitterest feeling over such things
as the Zeppelin attack and the de
struction of Louvain.
day that the Union Steamship Com
pany's Australian liner Niagara, bound
from Sydney for Vancouver, had -been
captured by the Nurnberg.
Apparently It had birth in the fact
that when the Nurnberg was last here
she was short a score of seamen and
had fresh vegetables aboard, although
Captain Schoenberg said he had
touched nowhere since leaving Hono
lulu 35 days before.
The Niagara Is overdue and has not
been reported. She la a triple screw

UNEMPLOYED ARMY WANES
Pew Now Seek Work in London and
Recruiting Crowds Grow.
LONDON, Sept 7 10 P. M. A return
issued by the Board of Trade tonight
shows that growth of unemployment
has virtually stopped. In the trades
where insurance against unemployment
is enforced, the percentage of employ
ment is 6.240 almost exactly the same
as last week, and compared with 3.34
last year.
The number of persons seeking em
ployment at labor bureaus actually has
fallen off. but still Is about double
what It was a year ago. Recruiting,
which is proceeding at an amazing
rate, accounts somewhat for this, par
ticularly In the north and in the mining
districts. Recruits are applying in
such numbers that at some places It
has been decided to close the recruit
ing offices for a week.
Prices of foods show, little change
and this Is due more ', to Increased
freight and insurance rates than to a
shortage of supplies. Meat and fish
are arriving in almost normal quanti
ties. The saloons of London are closed
hours earlier than usual. At Hull,
Chatham and other places, where many
sailors are congregated, they have
been closed entirely, while in other
provincial towns the hours for remain
ing open have been reduced.
NATION PUTJEFORE NEWS
Secretary Daniels Urges Caution by
Newspapers in War Time.
VERGENNES. Vermont, Sept. 1.
Subordinate the printing of news to
the service of the country, especially
when international issues are Involved
and the times are fraught with peril,
was the counsel of Josephus Daniels,
Secretary of the Navy, to American
editors and publicists, as expressed
here tonight before the Vermont Press
Association.
"If the press does not battle for the
people, it has degenerated into a mere
phonograph," he said.
KIPLING MAKES ADDRESS
(Continued From First Page.)
that attack will be successful, England
will not be reduced, as some people say,
to the ranJc of a second-rate power,
but we shall cease to exist as a nation.
We shall become an outlying province
of Germany to be administered with
what severity German safety and in
terest require.
"We arm against such a fate. We
enter into a new life in which all the
facts of war that we had put behind
or forgotten for the past hundred years
have returned to the front and test us
as they tested our fathers. It will be
a long and a hard road, beset with dif
ficulties and discouragements, but we
tread together and we will tread it
together to the end.
Response of All Needed. ,
"Our petty social divisions and bar
riers have been swept away at the out
set of our mighty struggle. All the
interests of our life of six weeks ago
are dead. We have but one interest
now, and that touches the naked heart
of 'every man in this island and in the
empire.
"If we are to win the right for our
selves and for freedom to exist on
earth, every man must offer himself
for that service and that sacrifice."
Political Prisoners Freed.
PARIS. Sept. 7, 10:55 A. M A dis
patch to the Havas agency from Petro
grad says the political prisoners in
Lemberg. Galicia, were set at liberty by
the Russians soon after they entered
the city.
FRENCH BURDEN BIG

WOUNDED CROWD TRAINS
Refugees Reaching New York From
Havre Say Belgians Retreated
From Namur Only After Fir
ins Last Ammunition.
NEW YORK, Sept 7. That the re
sources of France are being taxed to
the utmost in the carrying out of troop
movements and the handling of wound
ed from the battlefields was the report
brought by American passengers arriv
ing on the French line steamship
Rochambeau, which docked here today
from Havre. The liner brought to New
York 916 persons. 84 of whom were In
the steerage.
Many of the passengers came from
Paris. They reported that all special
trains from that city were crowded,
and that at Havre there was extreme
difficult' in getting steamer passage,
the Rochambeau carrying several hun
dred above her normal accommodations.
Food supplies were scarce and ships
leaving were carrying only sufficient
for the outward voyage.
Wounded soldiers were arriving in
Havre on all trains. Every form of
conveyance was commandeered to
transport these men to hospitals.
Several of the passengers said that
before the Rochambeau left Havre
there arrived in the city about 1000
Belgian soldiers, remnants of a regi
ment that escaped from the forts of
Namur. They had with them their
rifles, but every round of ammunition
had been used before they retreated.
The Belgians, as they marched through
the streets of the French port, were
given a tremendous ovation. They were
at once placed on board a steamship
for Antwerp. 1
BRITISH TRADE LOSS BIG
IMPORTS DROP 65,000,000 DURING
AUGUST.
Exports Fall Nearly 10OOO,0OO. Ac
cording to Report of London
Board of Trade.
LONDON, Sept. 7. The effect of the
war on British trade is seen in the
Board of Trade returns for August.

sponding month last year, show a de
crease of upward of 186,000,000, while
exports have fallen off nearly 100,

ships and war munitions and $30,000,
000 on cotton and woolen fabrics.
it is pointed out by the Board of
Trade that the decrease in exports is
due largely to the fact that certain
classes of exports are prohibited dur
