I 1 1 "Zfegfcld Follies'' fflHHK CLAIOUSK FIGHTING VETERANS WIG-WAG STEADILY TO STAY ATTACK OF ALLIES FULLY REPULSED HHIIM.V, Sept. 2R. Tho Germans not only havo stopped the general of fensive of tho allies on tho western front, but by counter attacks havo gained considerable territory for thomsclvcs, according to today's offi cial statemcnt'by army headquarters. Tho text of tho statement follews: "Western theater: Tho enemy con tinued yesterday his nttompts to break through our lines without achieving any result. On tho con trary he suffered In many places very considerable losses, besides bringing us nn appreciable gain In territory. Territory (lalncd "Our counter nttacks resulted In our capturing SO officers nnd 7f0 men, Increasing tho number of pris oners taken In this territory to 3397 men, Including a number of officers. Mo additional machine guns wero captured. "At Soucho , Angres nnd Iloclln court, and also along tho entlro front from tho Champogno to tho Argonno, attacks by tho French wero repulsed without n break. "In tho roglon of Sounln tho enemy actually brought forward masses of cavalry, showing n romnrkablo lack of appreciation ot tho situation.

GERMAN ADVANC E PHTUOKAD, Sept. 28. WJillo tho Russians havo had a series ot Import ant tactical successes along almost tch entlro front, military authorities hero lay stress upon tho greater suc cess of tho French and English tn their new cnmpalgn, calculating It to bo equivalent to thrco Ocrninn army corps thrown out of nctlvo servlco by Russia's western allies. Tho authori ties ovpect that tho Anglo-French In itiative will spoil tho Herman plans both as regards Russia and Serbia. Tho Russians hnvo mado gains of ground nt sovoral points which ordl nnrlly would bo regarded as consid erable, but they aro not allowing their attention to bo distracted from Dvlnsk which tho Germans contlnuo to attack with energy nnd tho Rub Blans defend with equal determina tion. Small German gains In tho last fight wore neutralized by splendid trench work during tho night by which tho Russians wero nblo to con front their adversaries In tho morn ing with n strong front. Tho num bers of dead on tho flold nttested tho seriousness of tho German losses. Tho German operations In tho di rection of Riga aro regardo dhcro ns demonstrations Intended to tntcrforo with tho reinforcement of tho Rus sian positions nt Dvlnsk with troops from the Riga region. Tho general Impression caused by tho latest roports from this front Is that tho Russians nro fighting bril liantly, steadily nnd confidently and that their supplies of ammunition nro bolnc doHvcrcd In adequoto quantl ties, whllo tho Germans apparent! lnck tho force to. execute their nwcop Ing plans. Tho authorities horo direct attention to certain details In tho ro ports ns Indicating that tso Gcrnini efforts aro becoming sporadic. PEACE MESSAGE ON CAPITAL DIE WASHINGTON', Sept. 28.
