best result. Three entire armies are engaged along a battle
front that extends from the Dneister river to Russian Poland.
The Austrians are being steadily beaten back and their center
army has been defeated and driven back twenty miles from
its advance lines. The Russian army is now co-operating to
crush the Austrian wings. The battle is stubborn and the
casualties are very heavy but the enemy's losses for outnum
ber those of the Russians.
"Already many thousands of Austrian prisoners have
been taken. Whole regiments have been surrounded by Rus
sian cavalry and forced to surrender. Among the prisoners
are several Austrian officers of high rank. The operations in
tastern Prussia, while subordinated to the general campaign
to crush the Austrian resistance, will be continued in consider
able force. The fortresses of Konigsburg are now completely
Vested and a part of the city is held by Russians. The Ger
mans have been heavily reinforced from the eastern army and
are now in great strength all along the line of their first forti
fications. Despite this fact the march on Berlin will begin just
as soon as the Austrian army has been annihilated."
Sjjccinl by United l*resti Wire. |
Viennu, Sept. 2:—Lemburg ha3
fallen. The Austrian army, which
has been lighting in front of the
Galicia capital, has been withdrawn.
It did not enter the city as the geu
eral staff desired to avoid any gener
al bombardment and the defending
force was withdrawn to the south.
The eighth day of the great battle,
which now extends from the Hnclatcr
to the Prussian frontier, finds the
Austrian army outnumbered and
hard-pressed, it is very plain that
Russia has abandoned every offensive
movement against the Prussians in
order to endeavor to crush the entire
Austrian army at one blow.
There are not less than 2,000,000,
facing the 1,000,000 Austrian troops
in this great battle. As a result the
Austrian lines have been compelled
to give way at certain points. The
most serious reverses, however, are
at Lemburg, because the abandon
ment of the positions there has en
abled the Russians to isolate the
Austrian forces in Russian Poland
and they are now greatly outnumber
ed.
The losses are appalling, both
sides suffering terribly. The artil
lery fire is described in messages
from the front as annihilating.
Whole brigades have been mowed
down, but there has been no time
either to bury the dead or to collect
the wounded. They lie where they
fell and the tide of battle has surged
back and forward over them.
Austrian fJeneral Captured.

NO FEARS OF ATTACK Id BERLIN
Special bν Vnited Press Wire.
Berlin, Sept. 2.—Reports of con
tinued success in both eastern and
western theatres of war are made
public today. The German advance
against Paris continued uninter
ruptedly, it is stated and the stub
born resistence is being steadily but
slowly overcome. But it Is in the
east that the Germans have made
their most success. The Russian In
vasion of eastern Prussia has been
checked and the advance columns
routed with enormous losses. Thou
sands of prisoners have been taken
including many Russians of high
rank. The situation in the east is
much improved through the arrival
of new troops. These have been se
cured without the general staff hav
ing to call upon the western forces
for any men The 500,000 members
>f the l.ansturn, who have been call
ed to the colors have been distrib
uted among the imperial fortresses
and to the supply depots. This ac
tion released a number of the active
army and it is those troops who are
now driving the Russians back on
their own frontier. The spirit of
the army is excellent.
The news of victory in the east
h:is cut the fears of a Russian attack
on Rerlin, which was a very real one
for a few days following the arrival
here of the refugees from eastern
Prussia, who describe the Russian
advance as "spreading like an army
of flies."
K.vpect Turkey to War.
Special bjj I.' ni ted Prens Wire.
Rome, Sept. 2: The long predict
ed entrance of Turkey into the war
was confidently expected to occur to
day. That the government will not
wait longer to align herself with
Germany and Austria is believed cer
tain. The one question asked is:
"What will be Bulgaria's attitude in
the event of declaration of war by
Turkey?"
British Officers Brave.
Special by United Press Wire.
London, Sept. 2:—The first report
received from the French regarding
the British casualties which covered
the earlier movement in the field,
again demonstrates that the British
officers lead their men. The percent
age of casualties to the officers is
high, a new tribute to their heroism.
It is carefully explained that this ia
only a casual report and tl.at it does
not deal with the receLt fighting.
The British field masses report
British officers killed, twenty-six;
I wounded, fifty-seven; missing, nine
ty-five; Britilsh soldiers killed, 127;
wounded, 629; missing, 4,183.
French Advance in Lorraine.
j Special by United Press Wire.
I Paris. Sept. 2:—An official state
j ment issued by the war office this
ι afternoon admits that the retiring
movement of the French left before
j the superior members of the German
: right wing continues. It is stated
that the French are slowly advancing
I in Lorraine and in the vicinity of
ι the Vosges, and that a general en
gagement is now in progress in the
ι vicinity of the Meuse.

is. Β. F. LACY
OF SEWAREN, IS
HELD IH GERMANY
Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Woodbridge, Sept. 2:—Mrs. B. F. I
Lacy, of Sewaren, is In Munchen,
Germany, apparently safe but in
misery due to the war, according to
the first word that has come through j
from her since before the European j
conflict started. The word was in j
the form of a message sent by Mrs. ]
I.acy from Munchen to the EVENING j
NEWS correspondent here. It had
to be written in German so thatj
German censors could understand it ι
before the message was permitted j
to go through. It was dated August
g and haa just been received here.
Mrs. Lacy stated that all were well |
and declared their pleasure trip had
been turned Into ona of misery, due
to the war. She was unable to state
when she might return, but hoped
it would be before her children had I
grown up. Under previously arranged]
plans, Mrs. Lacy had expected to re-|
turn to her home in Sewaren the!
latter part of this month. It is'
practically certain that she will not
arrive there at that time, especially
in view of the fact that she is in
Germany.
Martin Ryan Home.
After a sojourn of three weeks in
Europe, .Martin Ryan, of this city,
returned home Saturday by the
steamer Olympic, which was chased
on its voyage over by a German
cruiser. While abroad · Mr. Ryan
visited in Scotland. England and Ire
land, and says that the war prepara
tions caused more excitement there
than he ever wants to witness again.
Financial difficulties, Mr. Ryan
says, were the main hardships that
encountered the stranded Americans,
much difficulty being experienced in
changing money, etc. In order to go
from Cork to Liverpool to obtain
passage home, a passport had to be
secured from the American ambas
sador, at London. The condition of
the steamship Olympic was very
crowded, Mr. Ryan states, and only
American citizens were allowed to
return, no immigrants being on
board. When the steamer was out
two days, she was sighted by a Ger
man cruiser that immediately gave
chase. Although it is believed the
captain of the Olympic knew the
name of the war vessel, the passen
gers were kept in ignorance of it.
No noise of any kind was permitted
on board, lights were screened, and
the steamer went ahead at full speed
to escape capture. Although he was
obliged to curtail his visit in Ireland,
Mr. Ryan says that he was "mighty
glad to get back to the good old U.
S. A." and doesn't want to be in Eu
rope again when war is brewing.
