Mny Us Special dispatches from the
West Oalician buttle fields say that
Russian prisoners de-eribe tho effect
of tho Oernuin and Austrian attiHery
fire as appalling. Tho havoo thus
wrought was puitieulurly sovero at
Clorlia, where the Russians fought
stubbornly nnd for four hours endur
ed a terrific lire. In this time, no
cording to thc.-o reports, divisions
dwindled to regiments and icgiments
to companies.
Tho llus.-iiu center was so shaken
by the reverses siistuined by the two
wings that it was compelled to nlimi
don its positions. Thousands of pris

tho government has taken every

Only the educated !ipcr classes

from southern cities that several men
