MANCHESTER, Mass., Oct. 14. The
Austro-Hungarian embassy here has
announced tonight receipt of an of
ficial wireless message from the home
government as follows:
"Our advance in Galicia has forced
the Russians to lessen their efforts
against Frezemysl. Yesterday morning
: our bombardment greatly weakened the
. Russians, who began to withdraw part
of their forces at Lancut. Our ad-
' vancing columns met strong Russian
forces, fighting with which still is
continuing. Kuzwadow, on the San,
has been retaken by us.
Polish refugees in Vienna give In
formation that the Russians, after the
occupation of Lemberg. sent the famous
Polish library, housed in the Ossolinsky
Institute, to St. Petersburg. The most
prominent public edifices in the town
have been undermined and the Rus
sians have declared their intention to
blow them up as soon as they are
forced to leave the town. This news
has created consternation and anger
in Polish circles."
Riimlan Retreat Reported.
The Embassy further reported that
the Russians are retreating every--where;
that the German-Austrian line
fhas advanced to new positions in Rus
:sian Poland and that Russians who
: had crossed the Carpathian at three
. places had been thrown back with
J heavy losses.

Germany Reports Defeat of Cossacks
and Sea Captures.
LONDON. Oct. 14, 9:50 P. M. The fol.
lowing official statement, given out in
Berlin, has been received here by the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company:
"It was announced officially in Vienna
yesterday that our troops advancing
against Przemysl. supported by a sortie
of the garrison, have repulsed the en
circling troops in such a way that the
enemy is now able to maintain his posi
tion only before the eastern front of
the fortress. Several military bridges
near Sounica broke down during the
retreat and many Russians were
drowned in the River San.
"Fighting east of Chyrow, Galicia,
continues. Our cavalry drove back a
Cossack division in the direction of
Urohobyes. Marches and fighting dur
ing the last few weeks have been made
extremely difficult on account of the
unfavorable weather and the condition
of the roads, but the capacity of our
brave troops has been brilliantly
proved.
"The Stettin Neuste Nachrichten
says that on Monday three steamers
bound from Sweden and Russia to
England were brought into Swinemunde
by German torpedo-boats, which cap
tured the vessels near Falsterbo, Swe
den, today. A vessel carrying provi
sions for Russia and two vessels carry
ing wood from Russia to England also
were brought into Swinemunde by Ger
man torpedo-boats Monday."
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS FIGHT
(Continued From First Fase.)
ceiving attention for several weeks in
hospitals behind the advancing army.
There was one instance of an heroic
Sister of Mercy carrying a -wounded of
ficer from the firing line.
"In the second hospital, designed only
for serious cases and admirably
equipped with drugs. Roentgen appa
ratus and operative rooms, the sister
of Emperor Nicholas, Grand Duchess
Olga Alexandrovna, who for two years
went through the full preparation, is
working as a Sister of Mercy under all
ordinary discipline and all conditions
of travel and work.x Starting at the
outbreak of the war, she was in time
for the tremendous pressure of the
great Austrian battle, when a hospital
had to provide for 300 patients instead
of the expected 200.
"All the arrangements in thesehos
pitals. based on 14 years' experience
of the Russian country hospital work,
were carried out under the most diffi
cult conditions.
"Here, for instance, all the medicine
chests were made for frequent trans
port. The table also is a traveling
chest, and so on.
Czu's Visit Memorable.
"This aspect also was noticeable in
an army bread factory which I visited.
The rye bread is dried to a portable
biscuit. It allows the' soldier to carry
a much larger supply than if it were
ordinary bread, as the difference in
weight and space is great. It facili
tates the food supply on the firing
line.
"The Emperor's visit to Vilna was a
great success. He rode through the
town undefended. The streets were
crowded and his reception was most
cordial. The upper classes in Vilna
are composed mostly of Poles. There
are several splendid Catholic churches
and on the road to the station are
gates with some revered Catholle
Images, to which all passersby re
move their bats.
"There is a large Jewish trading
population living in extreme poverty;
sometimes in three tiers of cellars,
one below another. The peasants are
mostly Lithuanians and there are not
many Russians except the officials.
Supply of Medals Gives Out.
"At the beginning of the war the
nearness of the enemy caused anxiety,
but now there is an atmosphere of
work and assurance. The Grand Hotel
and several public buildings are con
verted into hospitals. The Polish
language largely is used.
"The Emperor visited all the chief
hospitals and spoke to many of the
wounded, distributing medals In such
numbers that his supply ran short.
His Majesty received a Jewish deputa
tion and thanked them for the sympa
thetic attitude of the Jews in this
hour so solemn for Russia.
"The general feeling may be de
scribed as like a new page in history.
Among the Poles, educated and un
educated, enthusiasm is general. This
is all the more striking because in
no case could Vilna be considered
Polish. Vilna shows all the aspects of
war conditions, but the country around
the town is cultivated."
wounded from the Austrian front.
These were mostly serious cases. The
first, a man from Upper Austria, de
scribed the Russian artillery fire as
particularly formidable. His own corps,
he said, had run short of ammunition,
but not of food.
? "Another prisoner, a young German
t from Bohemia, described the fighting
. at Krasnik as terrible. The Austrian
artillery was uncovered and crushed.
The Russian riflemen took cover so
well that he could not see them from a
point 200 yards in front of his own
Z skirmishing line, but their firing was
2 effective. I saw also an Austrian doe-
tor who had been taken prisoner and
2 was now continuing his work under
- salary from the Russians.
Rwudaji Bayonets Irresistible.
"I spoke with several Russians who

days of fighting, especially at Krasnik.
, ; Here a young Jew fell in the firing
- , line on a slope and saw from his po
- sition more than half his company

He was picked up tha next morning.
.A Russian described how his company

--who retired precipitately to a wood, but
reappeared supported by three quick
flrers, which mowed down most of his

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 14. (Spe
cial.) The Due de Montpensier, whose
yacht, the Mekong, is now a unit In
tho British fleet ; patrolling Oriental
waters, will arrive here tomorrow on
the Pacific Mall liner Mongolia. He
is accompanied by Captain Henry E.
Morton, who has been navigator of tho
Mekong and who. by a coincidence, is
traveling on the same vessel of which
be was formerly skipper.
Not the least Important of the many
scout cruisers at present acting as
commerce destroyers in Oriental waters
under the British flag is the palatial
yacht. Already the yacht, painted
gray and with four-inch guns mounted
fore and aft, is giving a good account
of 'herself on the China coast.
Following the outbreak of the war
the Due de Mntpensier unconditionally
handed over the Mekong to the naval
authorities at Hongkong and the pleas
ure croft soon took on a warlike ap
pearance. The war interrupted a
round-the-world tour which the noble
man expected to make in the Mekong.

The Embassy received today a wire
less message from Berlin saying:
"The English reports that German in
dustry is at a standstill with no pos
sibility of export are lies. The economic
life of Germany is progressing as usual.
German exports, both absolutely and
relatively, have decreased less than
those of England, despite the attempts
of the enemies to check them. German
Industries, especially textile industries,
are working with nearly full pressure."
CENSOR HAMPERS
PRESS Id HOLLAND
Official Reports by Warring
Armies Are Read With
Much Suspicion.
FRENCH ARE NOT BELIEVED
German Accounts Are Credited, but
Nothing Telling of Teuton Re
verses Is E-er Allowed
to Escape Berlin.
THE HAGUE, Sept.. 18 In common
with all others the Dutch press suf
fers at the hands of the censors- Due
to the commercial relations Holland
maintains in normal times with Eng
land and Germany its newspapers keep
large staffs of correspondents In those
countries. To their credit be it said
that they have made every effort to
present to the Dutch public something
resembling the real state of affairs, ex
cluding subjects in Belgium. But such
efforts invariably come to grief on the
shoals of the censorship, which carry
neither buoy nor beacon and which re
frain studiously from letting the cor
respondent know what can and what
cannot go through. .
In a general way everybody surmises
that statements, true or false,' in favor
of the country which the censor serves
will be admitted. Directly a Dutch
correspondent says so much as a word
for the- enemy, and be it no more than
a potent fact, into the wastebasket goes
his copy. That the man is telling the
truth, and as far as he knows, nothing
but the truth, a truth, moreover, which
has no military import, makes no dif
ference. The suspicion that the man
intends to be honest with the public
renders him persona non grata.
Press Shows Backbone.
A Dutch paper which has" committed
no other sin than merely take a ra
tional, impartial view of the official
dispatches received, had to discover that
it would be just as well to recall its
correspondents. But there is a greac
deal of backbone in the Dutch press.
Thus one reads : "We learn from
sources," or "we are informed from the
English side," and. when the matter
printed is still not sufficiently disin
fected by this introduction, the editor
attaches his comment and asks the
public "to accept the above with cau
tion." Thus the war contiues In the Dutch
press. But there has been so much
prevarication that even the crowds in
front of the newspaper. bulletin boards
express doubt at what they read. "Let
us wait until the other side is heard
from" is the comment, no matter which
official press bureau has spoken.
Meanwhile, the bystander has learned
the relative values of "official" com
munications. The long Russian com
muniques which reach this city almost
invariably cause smiles. English re
ports, which are equally long, but a
little more conservative, are given more
attention. Ihe French are not believed
at all, and whenever a Belgian com
munication is exhibited everybody re
members instantly the claim of the Bel
gian people that they have been the
dupes of their government's official
dispatches.
Belgians Doubt Government. .
There are always disgruntled Bel
gians in the crowd who make it a point
to doubt whatever comes from Belgium
all the more since during the last
week Brussels has been evacuated by
the Germans twice without the Belgian
government or army taking possession.
Even the official proclamation of Gen
eral von der Goltz, dealing with the
German evacuation and calling upon
the people to behave in his absence, has
been published here. Today the Ger
man Consul-General here published one
of his little posters setting forth in
the most beautiful Dutch that Brus
sels was still In the hands of the Ger
mans. i
The German official statements have
been models of brevity and the Dutch
public generally believes them. It has
been found that when Quartermaster
General von Stein makes a report it is
generally confirmed in a negative way
by the other side the day after. But
far be it from Von Stein to say aught
about German reverses not a word.
When things go badly with the Ger
man army there is a long period of si
lence. Let the Germans win. the speed
which the Quartermaster-General then
displays would do credit to the best
newspaper management.
Restriction Mot Sweeping,
So far, the Dutch government has
placed no restrictions on newspaper
frontier districts which have been in
a state of siege staat van beleg as
the Dutch say. To be seen in one of
them is to invite trouble by the cor-

French Biplane in Race With Ger
man Monoplane Finally Gets
Close nough to Use Machine
Guns With Effectiveness.
PARIS, Oct. 14. The activity of the
German aeroplanes over Paris has
brought up a general discussion of the
value of these machines In warfare and
a recital of thrilling aerial duels be
tween French and German machines.
One French corps commander Is
quoted as saying that in his opinion
a single aeroplane Is as valuable as a
division of calry. Aeroplanes are ot
the greatest service in preventing sur
prises and few important movements
of troops have been made which have
not been reported promptly by aerial
scouts.
A daring encounter took place re
cently between a German monoplane
and a French biplane during a critical
moment during the execution of an im
portant maneuver north of the River
Oise. The German machine was seen
sailing over the French lines just be
fore a strong detachment of troops was
to start on a movement to the north.
For the success of this maneuver it was
vital that this sentry of the air be
removed and a French biplane under- I
took the responsibility.
The French miikhfie gained an alti
tude greater thiAT that of the German,
but even this advantage was not suf
ficient to drive the scout away. In
a daring drive, in which he braved a
heavy fire from the French lines, the
German descended to a height of 1000
yards and, skillfully avoiding the
French machine, headed for the Ger
man lines. The Frenchman seemed to
