LONDON. Sept. 4. A dispatch to
the Reuter Telegram company from
(Petrograd Bays the following offi
cial statement has been given out
at the Russian capital:
"On September 2 Lemberg was
closely surrounded by Russian
troops and was captured with, an
enormous amount of war material.
AH the buildings In the town were
(packed with Austrian wounded who
had been abandoned in the enemy's
headlong flight."

MILAN, Italy, Sept. 4 (3:J9 a
m.) The Secolo's Bucharest (Rou
manla) correspondent, who is usu
ally well Informed, says the Rus
sians have occupied Csernowlta, an
eastern crownland of Austria-Hungary,
without resistance, and air
now marching southward from that
city in the direction of Succawa, in
the same province and near the
Roumanian border.
LONDON, Sept. 4. The British
public has turned hopeful eyes to
ward the east, where the triumph
of Russian arms in the Austrian
province of Oalicia has been amply
confirmed. In addition to the battle
of Lemberg, in which the flower of
six Austrian army corps were de
stroyed, it is evident that there has
been a simultaneous victory. at To
maszow, a town of some importance
thirty miles southeast of Lodz, in
Russian Poland.
v It appears evident today that not only
has the Austrian offensive through Rus
sian Poland, destined to effect a junction
with German army corps from east Prus
sia, failed, but the blow has been so
severe that Gallcia Is virtually In the
control of the Russians.
Lemberg- Is not only the capital of an
enormous territory, Slavic in Us sm
pathy, but also a transportation point of
great strategic value, being tbo center
of eight railroads. If the Russian sue
ctcses continue It is expected that tha
Austrian will be cleared out of Russian
Poland within a few days.
If the official reports of tha Russian
surceases in Ualtcla are anywhere near
correct. It is scarcely possible to exag
gerate Uie importance of their victories.
If the Austrian are as badly crushed In
Oalicia as the Russian reports would
make tha public believe, Russian Poland
will soon cause to be point of anxiety to
the Russian defense and the effort of
the Petrograd general staff can be con
centrated ' on an offensive movement
loward Berlin. ,
The meager German reports received
here Indicate that the Germana are more
than holding their own on the border of
east Prussia, but the Russian general
staff, according to the point of view held
In London, does not seem greatly con
cerned over the status of the campeJra

reported that part of the Russian forces

with the plan of the eommander-in-chlef.
The Austrian) according ta these reports,

LONDON, Aug. 27. Reports
reach London from Liverpool that
England has placed more that 80,
000 Russian troops In France by
means of transports sent north of
the Scandinavian peninsula to Fin
land, where the Cossacks embarked
and were safely landed at French
ports.
Because of the mines In the Bal
tic and North seas and presence of
the German fleet. It has been re
garded as impossible for Russia to
reach Franc except by marching
through Germany.
A constant stream of empty ships
nas been moving south from Liver
pool ever since the declaration of
war, but there has been no observa
tion of ships northward bound, and
the rumor that England has helped
Russians Into Franca has given rise
to much speculation as to where the
ships sailed from. However, the
the secrecy which surrounded the
movement of the expeditionary army
was so complete that the public Is
willing to believe e Englisn gov
ernment has It within its power to
conceal any movement.
According to atorles told by pas
sengers who returned from England
on the Mauretanla September 3,
this reported movement of Russian
troops to France was made by way
of the Scotch coast.

"The allies continue to show val

are compelled by sheer weight of
numbers to continue to fall back. It
is an orderly retirement, but It Is
not a retreat.
"The German army haa gradually
narrowed Its principal attack point
until It has become an arrow head
or V-shaped mass, pointing directly
for Paris.
"When I left the scene the southern-most
end of the enemy's line
was near Crlel, which Is less than
four hours' run from Paris by train.
In front of the enemy was the river,
with Its bridges waiting to be
blown up, and still further In front
was the army ready for a stubborn
resistance. On the enemy's flanks
were other armies of the allies, nu
