London, Oct. 2.-On the western

German counter attacks vre holding
their new positions and making local
attacks which the Germans Bay are
being repulsed. The French reports
clahv progress on the heights of Ea
folle and in tho Buodbez area and in
Champagne.
Compared to the allies' cantu " ol
nearly thirty thousand prisoners and
a hundred and forty big guns the Ger
mans claim fifteen thousand prison
ers and sixty-one machine guns.
Temporarily tho great offensive is
ended, but it* is expected that the al
lies will renew the general attack at
points not now determined.
Hite Russians appear to be holding
their own along the entire front, thc
Germans claiming only the advance
of U>n Einsingen. In Galacla the
Russians are on the offensive and
have delivered heavy blows. Since
their repulse at Dvinsk and near
Minsk, it is thought the Germans are
planning a new stroke.
While maisyinscredit Che reports ol
the offensive against Serbia, Buchar
est asserts that the Germans, inde
pendent of Austria, had failed in an
attempt to cross the Danube where
the main Serbian railroad approaches
tho frontier. -
The Russian foreign minister, Sa
zonoft, declared today that if Bul
garla "persists in her present traitor
ous course" she must answer to K'ua

would present an ultimatum in t
short time.

about to ram ' the submarine, but

which Germany is liable under the

Thia ls believed to be because tho
