KEW TORK. Oct. 10. Dr. Alexander
1 . d ISuber, Austrian Consul-General
here, today made puolic the following
; wireless communication from Vienna,
; which, he said, was forwarded . him by
.Ambassador Dumba from Manchester,
I Mass.:
' "Our advance in Galicia attained
, success everywhere. An officer of the
; ; general staff, on returning from
: Przemysl, reported that the garrison
: was in splendid condition and that the
.' defense of the fortress was being con
ducted with the utmost activity and
circumspection. The garrison has
- made several sorties, pressing back
the enemy line and capturing numer
ous prisoners.
; Heavy Guns Rout Russians.
; "All the attacks of the Russians
broke down under the fire of our
: heavy guns, which inflicted great
' losses on the attacking columns. In
the Carpathian Mountains two groups
! of Russians were beaten near Mar
; maros-Sziget and the town is again
: in our hands. There are no more Rus-
- sians west of Wysrkow.
"Our advance in Galicia gains ground
; Incessantly. Russians stationed along
"the western road to Przemysl have been
7 repulsed toward the fortress.
'm "Kresow has been retaken and many
; guns were captured. In the corner be
Vtween the Vistula and the San rivers
: we took many prisoners and transport
: wagons from the fleeing Russians. The
renewed tierce attack of the enemy
; upon Przemysl was splendidly repulsed.
; Many thousand Russians were killed
i and wounded.
Z Servian Defeat Reported.
: "The Servians, who broke into Bos
:nla and Videgrad unresisted, have been
; thrown back over thre lrina River.
They lost one transport column and
; one group was mutilated. The Servian
; main force under command of ex-War
; Minister Bozanovic took flight. They
"lost one battalion and several quick
; Brers."
; The communication was signed by
; Count Berchtold, Austrian Secretary of
Foreign Affairs.

VENICE, via Paris. Oct. 10. Large
numbers of wounded soldiers are being
brought daily to Vienna, but the news
papers of the Austrian capital are no
longer permitted to report their ar
rivals. The 19th 'official Austrian list of
killed, wounded and missing so far as
published has occupied 24 columns in
the Vienna newspapers and the publi
cation has not been completed.
The wounded who were being cared
for at Trieste have now been removed
to neighboring places in order to make
room in the hospitals of Trieste for
those who may come from the naval
battle which is expected to occur at any
time. Large numbers of physicians
have been assembled at Pola in antici
pation of fighting there.
As a result of the closing of many
refineries in Galicia since the Russian
occupation, petroleum and benzine are
becoming scarce and the prices have
doubled since the end of July. Candles
are suddenly finding a demand at ris
ing prices.

ALBERT DOUGHERTY.
When the history of Great Britain's part in the war is written. Albert
Dougherty, chtef gunner of H. M. S. "Cressy." will be enrolled among the
national heroes. It was during the encounter between the German subma
rine 'U 9" and the British ' cruisers in the North Sea, when three of the lat
ter were sent to the bottom, that Dougherty fired the shot from the Cressy
that sent one of the German submarines to the bottom. During the en
counter he saw the three cruisers go t o the bottom. The photo of Mr. Dough
erty was made at his home in Gillingham, where he is on furlough.
BRITONS ARE TO CONFER
EFFORT MADE TO SOLVB FOREIGN
EXCHANGE PROBLEM,
fosnlbilttr That Shipment of Larre
Proportion of American Gold Can
Be Obviated la Considered.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Conditions
in the exchange dealings between the
United States and England and the sit
uation in the cotton markets of the
world will be discussed at a confer
ence here next week between Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo and Sir George
Paish and Basil Blackett, representing
the British Chancellor, of the Exchequer
and the British treasury.
The Englishmen are coming to this
country at the invitation of Mr. Mc
Adoo and are expected to reach New
York next Saturday on the Baltic.
The conferences probably will in
clude members of the Federal Reserve
Board, and officials here hope that it
will lead to eo-operationbetween the
financial interests ol the two countries
which will clear up the situation in the
financial foreign exchange market.
So far, no invitation has been ex
tended to Germany to participate in this
conference. It was explained tonight
that any balance between this country
and Germany was so slight that there
was no need for such a conference.
The principal foreign exchange mar
ket of the world is in London, and the
total so far guaranteed by American
bankers is not sufficient to meet all the
obligatlrns incurred or in the making.
The conference next week was ar
ranged to solve the problem of future
transactions. It is possible that it may
result in making it unnecessary for the
American bankers to ship a large part
of the $100,000,000 gold fund out of the
United States and may make it possible
for the New York syndicate to meet
the obligations It has agreed to meet
with the actual transfer of 180,000,000
in American gold.

ple of Antwerp into Holland, says that
one ot trie most distressing features

Have Arisen in Galicia.
GREAT EVENTS HINTED AT
Petrograd Official Bureau Tells
People They Must Be Content
With Meager Details Until
Campaign Develops.
PETROGRAD. Oct. 10. "It seems, an
opportune moment," says a statement
from the Official News Bureau, "to
call attention to the fact that when
the general staff headquarters gave an
account of tho events which had
transpired In the fighting in Galicia, it
furnished a sufficiently detailed out
line of the strategical developments of
the Russian armies on the Austrian
front. '
"The fighting in Galicia, which weak
ened considerably the Austrian army,
compelling it to make a prolonged
retreat, forced the Germans to throw
the bulk of their forces on the Eastern
front to the rescue of the Austians
and created entirely new conditions
which will undoubtedly make us adopt
corresponding measures.
Secrecy Declared Essential.
"It is easy to understand the parti
cular Importance of keeping secret as
long as possible the recent movement
of the Russian troops on the eve of
great events. It seems It Is to this
circumstance that we must attribute
the brevity and dearth of official com
munications on the present sltuaton
in Galicia and on the West bank of
the Vistula. ,
"If these conjectures prove to be
true, public opinion will soon and of
necessity be compelled to be satisfied
(as during the first ten days of the
war)", with the meagre details in the
official communications, trusting in
final success and awaiting the time
when it will be possibe, without
divulging military secrets, to lift the
veil which must always cover the first
phases of a new-born military opera
tion. ;
Advance in Poland to Be Met.
It is believed the drawing in of the
Russian forces from the north and
south Is to meet the attempted Austro
German advance in Poland.
The victorious army of General
Rennenkampff, having driven back the
Germans from the region of Augustowo
as far as Lyck and Prostken, which is
now in the possession of the Russians,
has accomplished its purpose and now
is free to send part of the troops south
ward. At the same time the Cossacks
pouring into Hungary now have
changed their objective.
The Russian troops are acting exclu
sively on the offensive in Poland. The
attempted advance of the Germans in
this country demands a massing of the
Muscovite forces along the line from
Lubin to Warsaw and Lemberg, where
the indications are that the Russian
offensive is already in progress. Mean
while no further action is expected to
the north of Bialystok, where the Rus
sian army is content with having re
pulsed the Germans as far as necessary.
Russian information is following the
taking of Antwerp by the Germans, that
the army thus set free will proceed
immediately to the Russian frontier,
while in the Western theater of war
the Germans will confine themselves
to defensive tactics.

Roumania is likely to have a marked

desired to mobilize the army in favor
of Germany, to whom he said he had
pledged the word of a Hohenzollern.
His councillors reminded him that a
King of Roumania need not give his
word to any one, and delayed action.
It is said there is a strong party in
Roumania that favors seeking the op
portunity to annex Transylvania, and
it is doubted that the new King. Fer
dinand, will have sufficient influence
to keep his country out of the war,
even if he should desire to do so.
Germany seems to think Portugal is
about to declare for the allies. This
belief probably is based on the fact
that the French and British warships
