lor force of Russians which penetrated lu center after a battle which Grand
Iuke Mohola, commander of the czar's forces, pronounced as the bloodiest
in hUtory.
Fntire Austrian brigades were wiped out. The broken Austrian force Is still
making a resistance but Nicholas reported that It U so badly demoralized that
it will be difficult for it to reform.
Although the czar's campaign In east Prussia has been temporarily halted
while the Austrian are being dealt with, it la denied here that any German
territory has been abandoned. ,
It l.s said that one Russian army Is directed against Konigsherir and Allen
stein and a second against Thorn and Gradoenx.
"Two Russian army corps, operating In eastern Prussia, have been repulsed
by a superior force of Germans with severe losses, airi an official statement,
"but this is unimportant because It lias been the aim of the general staff to
crush the Austrian power completely and clear the way for a march straight
to Berlin."
AUSTRIAN'S WITHDRAW.
VIENNA, Sept, 2. (Via Rome.) The Austrian army, which has been en
gaging the Russian front at Lemberg has withdrawn to the southward of the
city. It did not enter the city, as the general staff wished to avoid its de
struction by a Russian bombardment.
The eighth day of the battle found the Anstrians outnumbered and hard
pressed.
It is evident that Russia temporarily has abandoned Its advance Into East
IYussia In order to crush the AustrJans.
Two million Russians are pitted against a million Austriaas.
The casualities are said to have been appalling.
