? ALLIES SilLLFORCE : GERMANS RACK IN ' FURIOUS FlIINGj * " 'f 60,000 DEAD IN ONE DAY. Casualties In Six Weeks of Wanfare Break Record. LONDON.?The Times has this despatch from its St. Petersburg correspondent: "The extent of the losses during the first six weeks of the war places all previous casualties for in the background. Not fewer than 10,000 dead Germans were counted in the trenches after one engagement in Eastern Prussia. "On the fateful September 1, '; when two Russian corps came to death grips with four German r.nrfh QnlHail. th* InSS es of both sides totalled between 60,000 and 70.000, the majority being Germans." On both the left and right wings the Allies are pressing forward and driving back the Germans, while in the centre west of the dangerous angle in the line at Verdun the French are holding fact against the furious onslaught of the Germans, who have concentrated a great force to pierce the French lines and split the army in two. On the extreme right the Fkench have pushed eastward into upper Alsace and reoccupied Muelhausen, the scene of one of their flrct victories and later of a great repulse. The German war machine Is not moving so smoothly. Its lines of communication are threatened in Belgium. The Russians are advancing toward Berlin and Vienna, with fresh troops continuously pouring ! to the front of their armies, the Belgians have assumed the offen- i slve, and the Servians and Monte- , negrlns are achieving fresh victories The Kaiser Is threatened with the loss of his only ally, it being predicted that Austria will soon sue for peace,' while It is believed that j It !s now only a short time before i Italy will enter the war. London.?A careful analysis of all the lute dispatches from countries concerned in the great European war hrincrs nut the following saliant , facts: FRANCE. ? The xWar Office, an- j nounces that the Germans are still i retreating after heavy losses and . that the British troops have crossed I the Marne in a northerly direction, j G.en. French reports the capture of j an entire battery of German field i artillery and 350 prisoners. From ' Paris comes the announcement that 1 the Allies are forcing the enemy back at every point along the line. French forces are reported to be reoccupying Upper Alsace, the Germans having withdrawn their troops there to re-enforce their centre and right. A despatch from Nancy announces that the Germans have evacuated Luneville and that j German troops have been with- I drawn from the territory eastward | of Belfort. The German line, ac- j cording to the last reports, has been i . driven back thirty-seven miles. AUSTRIA.?According to a despatch from Vienna, Austria was plunged i Into gloom when official admission was made that the operations against the Russians had cost the Austrians one-fourth of the first line of effective fighting men. The total loss in killed, wounded and miss- | ipg is reported at 125,000 men. For the first time it became k^own that the operations in Galiciu and Russian Poland had been under the personal direction of the Archduke Francis Frederick. The hospitals, hotels and public buildings oi i Vienna are filled with wounded, who are arriving In great numbers . In special trains from Poland and j Galicia. RUSSIA. ? The latest development along the Russian frontier is that the Austriuns have begun the evacuation of Cracow. It Is also reported that Przemysl is being besh-ged by a heavy Russian force. The Russians have apparently not yet succeeded in capturing Oodek. : near Lemberg. The hardest fighting, according to a late report, is i on a line extending from the Dniester River to Tomaslow. An ! other report says that the Russians : are advancing into Silesia and that thair present movements are threat- ! enlng Rreslau. TURKEY. ?The Turkish Ambassador at Washington was advised by the Ottoman Government that all conventions between the Powers and Turkey which conferred special privileges cr restricted the sovereignty of the Porte have been abrogated. BE IA HUM.?A German force of .l.onu I men has been reported near Ghent and large bodies of German troops aro on the way from Ilrussels to the French frontier. The Relgians have recaptured Aerschot. the TV1 gian sharpshooters, according tc I report, having dashed into the j.I >ce and rom?(i wio <ti-riii;m uiirri^iu GREAT BRITAIN.?Frontier Asquirb a>kt'd I'arliaint*iit to authorize a new call for .V?n,iwm mor- volun tee:s The War Bureau admitted that the British cruiser Pat' foul ->t, which was sunk off tin* cost of Soot r land. was d"pfrrr*a bj a torpfdcand not by a c< it tact uiiui* us wad at first reported. GERMAN'V.?According to a despatch from Berlin, it is officially announced that ths Germans who attacked tlio allied forces between Meuux and Montmlruil are in retreat. 'J'he retreat is attributed to the numerical uuperinrity of the Allies. The official statement says that the Gurnmus are not being pursued. SOUTH AFRICA. ?Premier Hot ha * aiiuouuced tliat the South Aricau Union promised its wholehearted support to the liritish Empire in the present war. London.?Emperor William's troops, though stubbornly resisting, continue to fall back before the French and British, while the Kaiser's entire scheme of campaign is threatened with disruption through the rapid advance of the Russians, who have started their march on Berlin and are before Bresluu. General Joseph Gallionl announces that the German retreat is continuing with heavy lighting along the centre. . The German right wing army has been forced back a scbre of miles from the positions it occupied before l'aris. The Germans are believed to be battling to effect a retreat to Kpernay, where they hope to join the German column about Kheims and restore their lines of communication. The left end of the Germans' curved battle Hue, which extended in a segment of a slight circle from Meuse to Vitry-le-Francois, about lou miles east of Paris, has been hit by the Knglish triphammer and forced to double back. An exchange Telegraph dispatch from Rome says: "A message from Vienna states it is olHcially admitted there that Archduke Frederick lost 120,000 men in the Gallcian battles, or one-fourth of his entire command." Washington.?The taking of Mailbeuge was the subject of a number of despatches from Berlin received at the German Embassy by way of the Sayviile wireless station. The lirst said: This announcement of the fall of the French fortress, which had been under lire for about two weeks, was followed by another wireless message: "All the papers (Berlin) emphasize the importance of the capture of Mauheuge. The German military lines are now free. Also the capture of so great a number of prisoners means an important weakening of the enemy." Mauheuge was isolated when the Germans began their turning movement into France after the fall of Xamur. The Germans swept around and past the forts, which were considered too stfong to take by assault, and a force was left to keep the defenders engaged. As soon as the German siege artillery could be brought up, the heavy gun fire was concentrated first on one fort and then on its support. In this way the forts were demolished, one aftty another. After five forts had been reduced the Germans are said to have trained their guns on the. city Itself. Flames then added to the horrors of the siege. The capitulation quickly followed when the three remaining strongholds were rendered almost useless by the bombardment. TWe enormously high-powered German siege cannon are said to have been of such great range that they virtually could not be reached by the defenders. There was no escape in any direction. "Fighting has been In progress further to the right along the line which includes Montmirail and Sompuis, neither side gaining advantage. "Further to the right again, from Vitry - le - Francois to Sermaize - les Bains, the enemy has been pressed back in the direction of Rheims. "At Luneville at attempt by the Germans to advance has been repulsed. "Pressure against the enemy continues all along the allied fronts. The British force has been engaged all day, but the enemy opposed It, after stubborn resistance retired and is now crossing to tho north of the Marne. "The Sixth French army, on the Ourcq, has been heavily engaged, but here also the enemy has been driven back. "The British force has again sustained some casualties, but the number is small in relation to tho nature of the fighting." Fighting continues all along the 150mile battle front and the final result cannot be predicted, although everything looks favorable for the Allied armies. Each side in succession was reported charging desperately, with a goodly part of the general fighting of the hand to hand variety. The Germans were said to have been pushed by sheer weight of numbers, the British cavalry and infantry charging en masse along a battle front of nearly twenty miles. The British were said to hRve encouraged the French to such an extent that their commanding officers had difficulty in restraining them and preventing them from attempting the impossible. Berlin Repor's Victories EVACUATED RHEIMS TAKEN BY 13 TROOPERS, WIRELESS ADVICES DECLARE. Washington.'?A German aecotmt of the manner in which the French fortress town of Rheims, in the second French line of defense, was occupied by the Kaiser'R forces was made public by the German Embassy An oP'oInl dispatch from Berlin to tie embassy v.a the Sayviile wireless route says the town was taken by thirteen officers and privates under command of Capt. von Humbrchs, who made a daring ride into Rheims, took possession of the place, and waited for the arrival of reinforcements. Parl3. ? The Germans' progresi seems to have been too rapid and too precipitate in its eagerness to get at the gates of Paris, for they arrived out of breath and to ail appearances out of ammunition, which may explain why they did not pursue their original plan. All prisoners appear fagged and harassed, and the spirit of the army seems to he everything that is different from the conquerors who pushed hack the army of defense from the frontier and reached the gates of the capi>::l in ten days London. The British Official Press !!ur< :iu issued the following announcement: "The general position continues satisfactory. The allies are gaining ground on their left all along tho line of the Ourcq and the Petit Morin Rivers. The British have driven the enemy back ten inllcs. Russians Capture Two A i Ci L.1J. Austrian oirongnuius Nlcolaieff and Mikolaijow, 25 Miles South of Lemberg, Fall?Only Three Towns Bar Czar's Advance on Berlin. Petrograd (Sf. Petersburg).?The fortress uf Mikolajofl (Mikolaijow or NirolIfliT). twenty miles south ot Lent Is rg and commanding the Ana trian S'uf Itallroad's crossing of the Hiver Dniester, was taken by the Russians after severe lighting. Forty heavy guns and stores of all kinds sufficient tor a year were raptured. The preparations at Mikolajoff and Leinberg to hold out for a year indicate that the Austrlans intended to make a stout resistance. The capture of this fortress cleared away every Austrian stronghold in Galicia East of Przemysl, which is now invested by the Russians. Mikolajoff is one of the most modern fortresses in Austria. Its defenses include steel cupolas and mod I era suns of heavy calibre. I North of Lemherg the main Austrian army, which has been beaten back from its invasion of Poland, is reported retreating all along the line between the Itivers Rug and Vistula. This retreat spells more than defeat ?it is disaster, owing to the nature of the country through which the I Austrlans must make their escape. | Tho* fortresses of Przemysl and i Jaroslau, on the River San, and I Cracow on the Vistula River, are ' the only obstacles the Austrians now ! have to prevent the Russian advance. Przemysl is a strongly fortified millI tary camp, fifty-one miles west of Lemherg, with forty-two forts and 40,000 men, who have been reinforced by the soldiers who escaped from Lemberg and Poland. WAR NEWS TOLD IN TABLOID FORM i , i ii . - ? -. The total losses of the Austro-Hun garian armies operating against the Russians have already reached 123,OOO.tt killed, wounded and missing, according to an announcement by the War | Office in Vienna. Austria was plunged into gloom i when official admission was made that the recent operations against the Rusj slans have cost the Dual Monarchy one-fourth of its first line of effective | fighting men. The War Office In Petrograd declares the Hungarian troops are refusing to fight the Russians. It is stated that an entire battalion of Hungarian troops when sent against the Russians I refused to obey their officers and fled ! Into Russian territory, later surrenderj Ing. The Belgian Army ha6 resumed the offensive against the Germans, and is reported to have driven them from Aershot, Diest and Termonde. J ??? A Clispaicn nidiicu .ivm iviw>i%v i says that 30,000 Indian troops secret- ' ly passed through Canada on their way to France. ^ I On a request by Premier Asquith the House of Commons voted to add another half million men to the army, bringing England's prospective force up to'1,400,000 men. Berlin officially reported the surrender of the French fortress of Maubeuge with 40,000 prisoners and sev' eral hundred guns. An official announcement frem the French War Office in Bordeaux said the German armies had been pushed back a total of twenty-five miles. The armed merchant cruiser Oceanic, of the White Star line, was wrecked off the north coast of Scotland and Is a total Toss, but all the officers and crew have been saved. England is preparing to give homes to sixty thousand Belgian refugees. India has pledged 70,000 soldiers and $5,000,000 to aid Great Britain. In adition, many native princes have offered their private fortunes, and ' their services In the field. British and French official statements agree that the German right flank has been driven back, that fighting in the centre Is without advantage to either side, and that the German '< left wing's attack near Luneville has been repulsed. German losses are reported to be enormous along the whole line. One wounded French officer declares that 20,000 Germans have been taken prfa oners. C. M.HASKEW : i CHER AW, S.
