This waa the severest losa the Bit- lah nary has suffered during the war. British cruisers and torpedo boat* came quickly to the assistance of the doomed vessels, and It Is reported sank two of the Oerman submarines, while three others escaped. The three cruisers carried more than 2000 men. but no estimate ha* yet been made of the number of saved or lost. The ateamer Flores took 287 sur vivors of the sunken ships Into the Dutch port of Ymulden. The steamer Titan picked up 114 men. one of whom afterward died. The Lowestoft, an other British craft, rescued a good number. The Oerman policy of keeping the German battle fleet In harbor and at tempting to pick off British ships one by one thus far has resulted In the loss of three 12.000-ton cruisers, the Pathfinder of 3000 tons and two small craft destroyed by mines.

RUSSIANS BOMBARD , AUSTRIAN FORTRESS AT No. 4 Petrograd.—The official statement from the chief of general staff says that the Russians -are bombarding the fortreaa of Praemysl, whose artillery haa opened fire. The statement fol lows: “ The Austrian troops wlhich at tempted to check our advance In front of .Baranow and Ranlchow, In Galicia, wgjre repulsed with heavy losses. “ Sfc*e artillery Is now bonmb&rding the fortifications of Jaroslau. * Fighting is going on agtànst the Parrlson of Przemsyl, who Jbave re plied with artillery fire. “ The Russian troops crossteig the forests are finding batteries aban doned by the Austrians. ” It has been confirmed that the Rus slan troops have occupied the fortl fled Austrian position ot Jaroslau. A.C- cording to official announcement made Each of the contending forces had practically exhausted Itself aa the week closed and though the battle line waa continually restless, only slight gains by one side, offset by moderate victories by the other, can be counted aa the result of the seven days’ western fighting. The casualties of the allies probably exceeded those of the Germans the past week for the first time since the war began. The Oerman defensive was excellently chosen for administer ing severe punishment to the pursu ers, and there are suggestions that the artillery fire from the northern heights of the Aiane haa been very destructive. The German official report aaya the French attacks have been repulsed, that Beaumont has been stormed and that many French prisoners have been captured. French reports, on the oth er band, while agreeing to the stub bornness of the contest, declare the situation is “ satlafactory,” despite the fact the Geramns have received rein forcements. presumably from Lor raine. The French army, operating on the right bank of the river Oise In the region of Noyon, according to this re port, has made some progress, while the Anglo-Freuch force which a week ago crossed the river Alsne In the face of a withering fire from the German guns, hold* the heights to the north of that point. In the center the Ger mans have not moved from the trenches which they dug when they were compelled to fall back, while the crown prince’s army, which holds the German left, again has retired. The German forces in east Prussia have been more successful than in France. The Russians have been forced to evacuate almost all of the German territory they had previously occupied and an offensive movement has penetrated some distance into Russian Poland. Its serious signifi cance is Indicated by an announce ment from Petrograd that 900,000 ad ditional troops are preparing to march into Germany. Petrograd reports that General Ren- nenkampff has definitely arrested the German advance. This movement has been assisted by river excursion boats changed into what the soldiers termed a “ one-horse navy.” In Galicia. Austrian defeats have been continuous during the week, though not as overwhelming Rus sian reports first Indicated. All the province east of the San river ia now held by Russia, but the strong fortifi cations of the San have not yet fallen. The way to Cracow, however, Is partly open and the week closed with Russia's campaign in eastern Galicia well under way. When Galicia has been wholly traversed the Russian march in full strength will begin and with it may be initiated the last phase of the war. ^ to the river Meuse, uorth ot Verdun, the armies of the allies and Germany accomplished nothing definite or de cisive during the past week. Conditions for the struggle could not be worse. The bloody field was drenched with cold, torrential rain that tilled the trenches behind which the fighters sought shelter, adding to their torment. The allies apparently have not at tempted storming tactics during the week. Instead they exerted great pressure to break through the German center and tried constantly to envelop General von Kluck’s right wing. Both efforts failed, as they have failed con sistently whenever attempted by eith er side during the French campaign.
