LONDON, Sept. ID
The fighting continues In northern
France with the situation practically
unchanged, according to the War Of
fice. That the battle eclipses anything
ever before fought Is known The en
tire German and French-British active
armies are engaged, and the losses are
stupendous.
The fighting is taking place under
the worst conditions possible Torren
tial cold rains sweep the battlefield
and All the trenches. One report says
that the British troops are suffering
severely from rheumatism as a result,
but the War Office says It ha3 no con
firmation of the story. The German
positions admittedly are very stront,.
Their trenches are well dug, protected
In many places by bomb proofs, and
all along their front for a distance not
less than half a mile, barbed wire and
bramble entanglements have been con
structed. In this connection, as evi
dencing the great strength of the
enemy's line, the Parl3 correspondent
of the Express quotes a high British
ofllcer as saying.
"If we held the same position all
of the soldiers In the world would be
unable to dislodge us so long as our
ammunition held out."
The British aviators continue to
cover themselves with glory. They
have accurately located the various
German positions, especially their 'bat
teries, which are Usually clever!) I
masked by wooded hills and by tree
tops cut down and so arranged that
It Is Impossible to distinguish them
except from the air.
As an evidence of the desperate
character of the fighting, It Is ad- '
mltted that on one night alone, that
of the 15th, the Germans made ten dls- (
tlnct attempts to break through the
allied lines. They attacked the Second
British Army Corps, commanded by
General Sir Horace Smlth-Dorrien,
which was holding the positions north
west of Rhelms and near the Craonne
forest. After shelling the British po
sition uninterruptedly for the entire
day, the German Infantry was sent
forward under cover of darkness.
Again and again they were repulsed
but It was not until after their tenth
attempt that they finally retired and
admitted defeat of their plans.
In the morning the entlr" British
front was completely covered with
dead and wounded Germans.

cities. Tarnow Is 50 miles east of Cracow
and PmwhjsI SO miles from Tarnow. This

Cracow .
Th entire llusslan left wing, com
manded hy Generals Ruzsky and
BiussMoff, is expected to begin an lt

against Przemysl.
(The admission that an attnek on
Przemysl Is expected confirms Russian
claims that they have reached the River
' 'nn, but the statement that Generals
von Auffenburg and Dankl's armies will
form part of the Austrian front Is a
rtpnlnl of Petrograd assertions that the
Austrian right and left wings have been

Petrograd Briefly Reports "Military
Operations Continue Successfully."
PETROGRAD, Sept 19.
Only a four-word statement was Issued
at the War Office today. It was: "Mili
tary operations continue successfully."
It was the shortest official statement
that has been given out since the war
began.
A statement of last night conveyed the
Information that General Rennenkampf
had stopped the German advance on the
East Prussian side Thursday, and that
the pursuit of the Austrians continued,
with the Russian troops approaching
Jaroslow, Przemysl and Sienlawa.
This Is tho first time that Sienlawa has
been mentioned In a statement given out
b the General Staff. It was supposed
from the tenor of previous announce
ments that this town had been taken
by the Cossacks that crossed the River
San. but the Russian cavalry may have
been driven back by fresh troops.
No Information as to the situation at
Przemysl has been given out since the
announcement of the capture of Kra
zlozyn nearby. It is understood, how
ever, that this capture was only prelim
inary to the main attack on Przemysl,
which will begin as soon as the Russian
sleec guns arrive
Wounded Russians arriving here declare
the Austrian canlry that opposed the
advnnce of General Ruzsky in the early
fighting in Gallcla has entirely dlsap
pcaied from the field of action In the
second phase of the conflict, its effective
ness having been destroyed by the tr
rlfir attacks of the Cossacks.

ROTTERDAM, Sept 19.
Stories of the sacking of Louvaln, which
are almost unbelievable In their horror
reached here from the frontier.
One of the most vivid Is that of an as.
sletant In a bicycle shop, who, though a
Dutchman, was given special facilities for 4
escape owing to nis oeing mistaken for a
German. "At midday last Tuesday," he
begins, "a fearful uproar broke out In
tho streets while we were at dinner, and
the crackle of musketry was soon follow,
ed by tho roar of artillery near at hand
"Hearing shrleka from the Inhabitants
of our streets, I rushed to the window and
saw that several houses were already In
flames. Soldiers were smashing the shop
windows and looting in all directions. As
the people rushed into the Btjjets from
the burning houses thev w. t,-. j
like rabbits-. With my governor, his wife '
and little hoy, wo fled to the cellar ''
where I and tho boy hid under a pile of

chest and his wife got Into a drain, where 1'
she stood with water up to her waist for ''
many hours.

"Nl3ht fell and the sound of shooting
In the streets became brisker I crept "
out of my hiding-place to get some water, "
and peeping out of my window saw to '
my horror that almost the whole street
was In ruins. Then we found that our
own house was alight, and It was necea
sary to choose between bolting and belnj
burned to death where we were I decided
to make a dash for It, but the moment I
was outside the door three Germans hu
:me uo with revolvers and asked me where '
i was going. My reply was that I was t
a German, that my master and his wifa "f
were Germans who had been trapped in ,-'
tht burning house. ,-
"Apparently my German was good "'
enough to make them believe my state- "'
nient for th'ey promised to give us safe
conduct out of the town. Our walk '
through the streets to the railway sta- '
t on I shall always remember as a walk '

Its noble buildings, wns a sea of flame "
Dead bodies lav thick In the streets!
Dreadful cries came from many of the
houses.
"It was 5.30 on Wednesday mornlnj .

Soldiers were even then still going about
