On Aug. CO and 31 tho Faltish covering and delaying troops were frequently engaged. "On Sept. 1 a very vigorous effort 1 v the Germans brought about a sharp ; etion in tho neighborhood of Compiegno. This -was fought principally by tho first British cavalry brigade iitul tho fourth guards brigade. Tho 3 suit w as entirely satisfactory to tho British. Tho German attack was most Mrongly pressed and "was not brought to a standstill until much slaughter bad been indicted upon them. Ten German guns -were captured. "Tho brunt of this creditable affair fell upon tho guards bridgado who lost in killed and wounded about 300 jncn. In the whole period tho British casualties have amounted to about 3.".O00 oilieers and men. These don't n mount to a third of the losses indicted upon tho onemy.

COMMAND OF SEAS LEFT UNCHALLENGED English Itciort Says OpiKnents Ships Have Ucen Forced to llcmaln in Harbors. WASHINGTON, Sept. C. A review of the first month of the war showing numerous reverses of Germany at sea, in East Prussia and the utter overthrow of the Austrian armies in Galicia, together with tho safe movement over seas of 300,000 troops of the allies was received at the British embassy here today by cable lrom the Lrondon foreign ollice. The dispatch is the most reassuring to the friends of the allies yet sent out under official sanction. The message is as follows: "At the end of the first month of th& war the command of the se;is is left unchallenged in the hands of Great Britain and her allies. The main German and Austrian i'eets remained in their harbor under shelter of tlu-ir mines and batteries. Four German cruisers, one auxiliary cruiser, two destroyers and a cruiser have t!ed without lighting and have taken refuge in tho Dardanelles. The loss to the British navy has been one light cruiser only. "As a consequence of this naval supremacy over 300,000 troops have been able to cross the seas in different parts of tho world without the loss of a man. MAY RETALLVTi:. LONDON, Sept. 6 .The British admiralty is said to be considering retaliatory measures against Germany, owing to the strewing of the North sea with mines which are endangering neutral commerce besides the ships of war. Hitherto England has not laid a single mine in trade routes, but has lost several trawlers and after the recent loss of the cruiser Speedy she will probably change her attitude. The retaliation may take the form of resuming the riirht to capture German merchandise whether it be carried in German or neutral vessels. SINK UO ATS. PETROG-RAD (St. Petersburg), Sept. 6.

Russian Strategists Depend on Ten Army Corps to Be More Than Sufficient to Continue Pursuit of Austrians. DECISIVE BATTLE IS SURE TO TAKE PLACE Kaiser Seeks to Counterbalance Defeat of Austrians by Sending Large Force Over the Russian Border. LONDON, Sept. 6. In a desperate attempt to counterbalance tho great victories of the Russians over the main Austrian army In Galicia, Germany has started a force over tho Russian border with Warsaw as its apparent objective. Supported by a gTeat armored train, this force met its first opposition at Vloclavack, a small town ten miles within the Russian frontier, according to late dispatches arriving here. It is stated that the city was subjected to a severe bombardment after which tho invading force was beaten off by Russian artillery which was hurried to the threatened point. In this movement of the kaiser's eastern legions is seen tho start of a determined attempt to overrun Russina Poland by way of tho Vistula river valley. Warsaw, the capital, 00 miles due ea-st of Vloclavack, is most heavily fortified and should the Germans succeed in penetrtaing that far, is expected to withstand a lengthy siege. Expect Rig Battle. That the invaders will not be permitted to reach Waisaw without a decisive battle, is & foregone conclusion, however. With tho main Austrian army in full retreat after its disastrous reverse in the neighborhood of Lemherg, Russian strategists depend upon ten army corps to be more than suflicient to continue the pursuit, prevent a junction with tho German reinforcements said to bo hastening to their aid, and to occupy and hold points of value in the territory thrown open by the result at Lemberg. Tho Russian army of invasion is swiftly reaping the harvest of its victories. Advancing southwards, Czernowitz was occupied without rcsistence, according to today's dispatches. This would indicate that Austrian opposition north of the Carpathian mountains has been lamost entirely stamped out. Are Joining Russians. Of almost as great importance as the military successes of the czar's forces, is the information from reliable sources that the inhabitants of Bukowina, the district in which Czemowitz is situated, have joined the Russians in large numbers. This bears out the frequent rexorts that the people, nominally under Austrian rule, are in fact in sympathy with the Slav cause. It is regarded as the iirst concrete evidence of the long expected dissolution of tho Austro-llungarian empire. The Russians havo changed the name of Lember to Lvov and will use it as a base in future operations in Galicia. It is estimated the Russians seized a year's provisions in this district. A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company reports that a German aviator was captured near Zwolen in the Russian province of Radom. While scouting 130 miles from German territory his machine was brought to earth by a well aimed thsll. ATTACK GEIOLVXS. LONDON, Sept. 6. An olllcial announcement issued by the Russia general staff in Petrograd tonight says: "Along the entire Austrian line the Russian troops on Friday proceeded with an energetic offensive movement. Tho enemy's center suffered severely from tne Russian attack. In the vicinity of Krasnysiav the forty-fifth regiment of Austrian infantry was surrounded and forced to surrender. Over 1,600 men were taken, including the commanding officer and 4 4 officers. "The German division which was en route to help the Austrians was attacked on the left bank'of the Vistula river. Russian troops have occupied the StryJ river region. AUSTRIAN'S ROUTED. PETROGRAD, Sept- 7. The second Austrian army is fleeing in panic. It is exected that within a few lays tho Russians) will smash tho remainder of the Austrian array at Noroodok. . .Hard fighting lum taken place in the direction of Lutlin and Kliolln where the tenth Austrian army corps unsuccessfully tried to break through tle Russian line. The Austrians were repulsed and 5,000 prisoners taken. Documents found showed that the Austrian genrals arc akiivg Germany for prompt assLstant PLOW UP RRIDGE. LONDON, Sept. 7. Dispatches from Petrograd (t. Petersburg) report that the Germans defending Koenigsberg have been so hard pressed by the tatack of th?

Prisoners, the number of whom is not even yet known; guns, including Mitrailleuses, the number of which was first stated as 2,000, then 200, but now is stated officially at 2,000, and 30,000,000 day's rations are only part of the booty taken at Lemberg and Halicz. More valuable than all these U the progress marked by this victory, which, as the commander in chief reports, has deprived the second Austrian army of all warlike value. The Russians now have not fewer than 2,000,000 men actually in the field and their huge, leisurely machine of mobilization continues to grind forth fresh brigades.

ARE ATTACKING NANCY. LONDON, Sept. 6. A dispatch from Berlin via Amsterdam slates that the Germans are attacking Nancy in force and that Emperor William is there, personally directing operations against teh stronghold.

ENGLAND SENDS TROOPS. LONDON, Sept. 6. England has sent her fifth army across the channel to reinforce the French. The censor conceals its strength and destination. It is learned also that British East Indian troops have reached the front. They engaged the Germans for the first time near Termor.de on Friday. That defeat of the Germans at Termonde haults their advance on Ghent for the time being. A great squadron of aeroplanes is being dispatched to the continent by England to assist the allies in the critical movement about Paris. A dispatch to the Times from Paris says the aim of the German army is now clear.

"Th (Jerman military authorities hope to advance from two sides," says tho dispatch, "north and east upon tho French and English armies in an enveloping movement just as on the northern frontier of Relrium the (rmans drove back the left wing of the allies by bringing the weight of .superior numbers to bear upon it. Ho now they are about to try to repeat the s;ime process upon the right wing of the French forces. "Tho Germans clearly realize that a siego cf Paris and oven occupation of the city would avail little while tho allied army remains unbroken. llefore. devoting themselves to tho costly tiLsk of an assault upon the defenses of the capital they apparently intend to make another attempt t inllict so crushing; a defeat on the French -nd Knslish foreos that further resistance would be impossible. "The siege of the capital for whi-h every p; t paration has been made may bo postponed. Or if the new attempt of the German colossus proves beyond his strength and he suffers a reverse, Paris mav never be besieged at all." MKITT IXVADIHIS. PARIS, Sept. G. The allied force are in contact with the German line of Invasion at four points scattered along the front. In two of these engagements the most important -f the day, the lighting has resulted in successes for the allies and in the other two no detinite rrsult has been reached. Afdde from this activity the allies aro engaged in the defense rif Maubeuge which holds out h roi.-Mly. On the left wing of the allies the right wing of the enemy was struck on the banks of the Grand Merin ami after considerable lightng the position of the French and Fritsh forces w;ls reported to be good. Tho allies continued to pre.-vs back the Hank of the advance.1, uuard of tho German riu'ht to the northeast of Paris in an engagement which lias endured since yesterday with the result that the Germans have been forced across tho Ourcq. The advance of the allies met with no marked resistance. The allies plainly had the advantage of this movement and their situation appears to be good a3 a whole. On the center and on the right in Lorraine and in the Verges, the situation remains unchanged, according to the war o!fice stat'-merit, both the allies and the Germans bein more concerned with the movement about Paris and that on the r tstrrn frontier which are tho vital strategical theaters of action in the present situation. Abandon Advam. The Germans have been forced to abandon their advance upon Paris and the entire four armies of the invaders havo commenced a gigantic turning movement in a southeasterly direction from the. points thy occupied to the ea.st and northeast of Paris.
