Austria indicates that the dual mon

troubles, while its military situation
is daily becoming worse.
Even Berlin seems to have lost
something of Its prevailing optim

anxious eyes in the direction of the
ally in Calicia. During the first few
weeks of the war Austria and Ger
many virtually ' dictated the cam

LONDO.V, Sept. 9. A dispatch to the
Central News from Basel, Switzerland
via Rome, says that the Germans have
evacuated upper Alsace.
LONDON," 8ept 9. It Inspiration means
to the French soldier what It did In the
time of .the first Napoleon, -.the; situation
today on the allies' center on the historic
field of Chalons, ' should offer compensa
tion for a disheartened - month of ..rear
guard actions. '
At any rate, the allies, now superior
or equal ' numbers to the Germans, evi
dently have begun the offensive. At least
3,000,0u0 men are- engaged on both sides,
and as the center of the alliea lies on the
plains of Chalons, true to many, pro
phesies, another Armageddon may take
place where Attllla,' surnamed the
"Scourgo of Goyd" was defoated by the
allied Visigoths and Romans in the
bloodiest .battle In the .'world's history.
On these plains, centuries later, Napoleon
conducted the most brilliant , defensive
campaign of Ms carenr. .The French
soldiers will not be altowrd to forget
also that on this field a French army
fought a victorious action after Its com
mander had surrendered his sword. '
Logically, a great and decisive battle
ought to be under way from Tarts to
Verdun, but the veil of secrecy and the
ninagerness of the official communica
tions preclude possible predictions of the
! nature of the engagement proceeding In
jthe western war theater.

LONDON, Sept. . The correspondent
of the Central News at Petrograd wires:
"The. Slavonic natives of Austria ar

they . were placed In front of the battle

"It- is. proposed to lodge the wounded

none. Both of them fired revolvers re
peatedly In my direction and I repllnd
with my revolver, but none of the shots
were effective. After en anxious quarter
of an hour 1 drew them toward the Ger

The Japanese censorship is complete.

the greatest battle of the war, be
ing foiiRht east of Paris from

men are said to be engaged. A
news dispatch from Tarls indl
rntes a belief there that the (ier
nian offensive apnlnst the city has
been definitely checked.
It is Indicated that llounianla

claimed In a great number of
town In the coast of Holland. ,
An English correspondent de
scribes Austria as bankrupt and
Its people in panic. Bosnia, he

due. Russia' Is reported as assuming
the offensive In east Prussia and
news from Berlin says that all
eyes In the German capital are
turned eastward, where the im
portance of administering a check

I.O.NDON, Sept.. . The correspondent
of the Times at Prtrograd sends the fol
lowing: The extent of the losses during the
first six weeks of the war places all
previous casualties far In the background.
Not less than 10,0(O dead Germans were
counted in the trenches after one en
gagement In eastern Prussia.
The fateful September 1. when two
Russian corps came to death north of
ttollau, the losses of both sides totaled
between DO.Oiio and 70,U0O, the majority
being Germs ns.
"The results of the war at Nijnl Nov
gorod provide conclusive evidence of the
comparatively small effect the war had
on Internal trade. Business was sus
pended for only two or three days at the
beginning of mobilization, but afterwards
it was normal. There was a brisk de
mand for g'lOfls from Asia, Persia, the
Caucasus ami the Volga legions. A ma
jority of the firms are ready to extend
credit to regular customers. The state
hank, too, by active discounting, supports
the fair. Furs alone suffered through
the Interruption of foreign trade."
