Up to this time, youths of the sec-

The Germans have cut their way
through the circle drawn by the Rus

Russian artillery.
Withal of their frantic efforts to

First-hand Account of Battle That Has Raged
in the Eastern Theater of the War is Received
From Correspondent With the Ausrian Forces
and Tells in Dramatic Style of the Horror of
Struggle That is Being Carried on in Europe.

PRZEMYSL, Oct . (Passed by
the War Press Bureau.) (By Mall to
New York.) This Is my diary of yea
terday, which I spent on the firing
line, II miles from here.
7:45 a. m. Under the escort of
Colonel John and Captain Mlakch we
started for the front. "W" Included
John Qulncy Adams, the great Amer
ican painter: Robert W. Dunn of the
New York Evening Post, who had Just
arrived and myself. We bundled In
to one of the typical sprlngleas, bas
ket bodied Gallclan wagons.
8 a. m. We are on the main road
leading from the great fortification of
Przemysl to the hills where the ar
tillery firing Is heaviest At 8:10 we
pass the cholera hospital and five
minutes later, we pass through the
gate of the Inner fortifications. The
road Is covered with wagons. Two
tightly packed lines of them are go
ing In our direction. Another line on
the left side Is going toward Przemysl
with sick and wounded. The steam
from thousands of sweating horses
rises like a thin mint along the trail.
The sight Is ao wonderful that even
the wounded men keep their eyes on
It The sick men, some with the
green faces and loose, opened mouths
of cholera victims, hang their heads
half dead.
8:15 a. m.-On both aides of the
road, on ploughed farm land, huge
hands of recruits are training. They
have stamped the wet earth into a
black, smooth, shining field that glit
ters like Jet.
8:30 a. in. Among the thousands
of sights we catch a glimpse of a pig,
riding on a seat like a soldier. He
has been tied there to keep him from
running away from dinner, though It
will be someone else's meal, not his
own.
8:35 a. m. We pass the outer line
of fortifications. The trenches are
lined and floored with willow or straw
matting. As far as our eyes can
reach, to the right and left, stretch
small "forests' of posts, hitching
posts high, with barbed wire hung
and tangled between them.
9:10 a. m. Our wagon Is spring
less. Now I know why alKhe wound
ed men in the carts have strained
faces.

Judge J. W. Maloney and W. w Har

all three being strong advocates of
the movement It is the intention to
make the society an institution of the
community and to make it the head
of all relief campaigns. Members
will make personal contributions and
the soclcy will receive contributions
from any individual or organization.
The plan contemplates the retain
ing of a city missionary who will dis
cover the residents worthy of relief
and who will superintend the distri
bution of funds, food and clothing. It
Is possible this office will be com
bined with the county office of Ju

The organized Associated Charities
will replace the present haphazard
methods of caring for the destitute.
Now, with different churches and
different lodges as well as Individ

much duplication of charity and nt
