EVENING LEDGEB-PHTLADELPH'iA. fflTESPAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1014.
RUSSIAN MILLIONS MASS FORCES "fOCRUSH LAST LINE OF THE AUSTRIAN RESffiff Scl
fenslvo Is growing stronger at nil
joints.
An official statement Issued at mid
night nnnounced the capture of tho
heights of Craonno and tho town of
Bethany (pear Rhelms).
Today's statement praised the great
bravery shown by the troops of tho
Allies. It follows:
Tho enemy shows signs of'weak
enlng as a result of his continued
attempts to capture our positions.
- On the contrary, our troops, fight
ing from well fortified points, have
hod a rest and arc taking a strong
offensive. Their attacks are grow
ing stronger at all points.
Great valor has been shown by
tho enemy's troops. They have
charged repeatedly In an attempt
to sllcncG our artillery, but have
been as repeatedly repulsed.
Tho statement Issued at midnight
said:
Tho strong, hilly positions at
Craonne have been captured. Ad
vancing on Rhelms, our troops oc
cupied the village of Bethany.
We are attacking the strong
forts on the line south of Verdun
and have crossed tho east border
In the direction of Lorraine, which
Is defended by eight Krench army
corps (320,000 men). A sortie
from tho northeast of Verdun has
been repulsed.
The Krench troops camping to
the north of Toul (13 miles cast of
Nancy) have been surprised by
our artillery.
In the rest of the French war
theatre there have been no engagements.
In tho Belgian and Eastern (East
Prussia) battlefields the situation
Is unchanged.
Tho statement that tho French have
eight army corps In tho Lorraino
region indicates that the Allies' right
wing Is trying to turn tho Gorman left
With the heights of Craonne held by
tho German centre, It will bo possible
to withdraw troops from there to
strengthen both tho right and left
wings I they are threatened.
No details of the situation at Hhclms,
beyond tho fact that tho town has
been bombarded, have reached Berlin
The belief is growing hero that tho
war is going to extend Into tho winter
In fact, preparations for a winter cam
paign are being made. Tho news of
the rapid ndvancc of tho Germans
after they entered Belgium had caused
the people of Germany to expect a
quick triumph, but ho falluro of this
expectation to be fulfilled has caused
no alarm.
It Is stated that tho movoment to
take Rhelms, and with It tho eight Im
portant railroads, especially sought
from a strategic point of view, pro
ceeds uninterruptedly and with every
propect of success. In this connec
tion It Is added that Verdun has been
Isolated. This strongly fortified position
Is now being bombarded from two
sides by tho German heavy siege artil
lery and every effort Is being made
to take It.
It Is understood that the present
movement has for its object tho sepa
ration of the allied armies, and espe
cially tho piercing of their centre.
This movement Is slowly but surely
succeeding, it is declared.
GERMAN LINES STAGGERING,
IS LONDON STATEMENT
LONDON, Sept. 22.
That the German lines arc stagger
ing under the continued hammering of
the Allies and that they nro slowly
crumbling at Important integral points
is the consensus of opinion of tho Brit
ish military experts who are familiar
with the exact situation at the front.
It has been admitted from the out
set that the present battle of the Alano,
now well in Its second week, was a
contest of endurance. Despite the
splendid Intrenchments of tho Ger
mans, It has been instated that they
have suffered greater losses than the
Allies, mainly because of their massed
formation tactics, which present such
magnificent targets for the opposition.
The failure of the German rein
forcements sent to aid General von
Kluk to break down the British
French opposition emphasized, the ex
perts say, the fact that tho Germans
were at the "end of their string." To
day this belief Is confirmed by the an
nouncement that the German right
wing Is being pushed back at a rate of
nearly four miles a day. ThH speed Is
expected to be accelerated now that
the Germans have been driven from
their strongest trenches.
The Times' military expert declare)
that the German extreme right, which
resembles a fishhook, is being sub
jected to great pressure nt its most
northerly point. IIo fays that the new
allied line extends from Localolet to
Boisel to Lassigny, to Loyon, to
Craonne, to Rhelm"1, to Pouain. to
Montfaucon, to Etaln, to I'ont-a-Mous-fton,
to Saint Die. The British troops,
ho says, remain on the extreme loft,
with only one French army on their
north and west.
A number of the papers print an un
confirmed rumor that General von
Kluk has been compelled to withdraw
his army headquarters to Mons in Bol
gium. The War Bureau, however, has no
knowledge of any such movement and
Is Inclined to consider it premature.
Much attention is being paid to a re
port that the Germans have prohibited
Dutch shipping traversing the Rhine.
Heretofore, Dutch steamships have
been permitted to come up the Rhine
into German territory. The British
military experts declare this action Is
naturally due to the fact that the Ger
mans nro strongly fortlfjlng their
Rhine defences preparatory for a final
stand there, and that, of necessity,
they are keeping all curious eyes from
beholding their work.
It Is declared by all of tho military
experts hrre that the most credit to
tho Allies can be attributed to the
weight of their bayonet charges. Tho
British and tho French Algerian troops
have terrorized the enemy by tho force
of theso attacks. They carry a bayo
net blnde longer than that of the Ger
mans, and they havo shown an eager
ness to resort to cold steel that simply
has terrified tho German outposts.

BORDEAUX, Sept. 22.
Minister of War Millerand an
nounced today that tho oxtremo right
wing of the Germans hail given way,
that tho French had completed tholr
line, bringing n steel wall up against
the German centre and that the Allies
were malting constant progress.
Ho renamed tho battle of tho Aisno
the "battle of two rivers," because of
the fact that it Is now raging along
the Olse ai well as the Alsno. Ho be.
lleves that the result will not be deft,
nltely known for several days, but has
no doubt that tho decision In this great
death grapplo will go to tho Allies.
"It Is probable that the great battle
of two rivers, which is being fought
with unparalleled fury, will continue
for several days," he said, "although
tho Allies are making constant prog
ress. A new step In our advance on
the extromo left wing Is marked by
its arrival at Lnasigny, ten miles west
of Noyon. This movement Is of ex
tromo importance. That is why th
Craonne region has been the centre of
violent conflicts and bayonet charges
"The Germans are making desperate
efforts to diminish the pressure on
their extreme right wing, hut have,
nevertheless, been forced to give way
"By completing cur lines from Al
eaeo to the Argonne forest, wo havo
deprived the German centro between
Rhomis and Fouain of its scope of
movement It is against a steel wall."
ANTWERP, Sept. 22.
Quarrels between the Bavarian und

It is rumored that many quarrels during
tho last week reached a point wheie.
blows and shots were exchanged and that
feveial German sohlirs were killed by
their brothers in arms.
The ill feeling between the two bodies
of troops has been caused by the fact
that the Prussian;, have defiled the por

Another factor that Is said to have In

called out for war duty, thoy wero not
told that It was fin actual service, but
simply for maneuvers. Then they w r

Ofllclal announcement Is made that the
German light cruiser Emden made a
flying raid into the Bay of Bengal, in tho
course of which It did considerable dam
age to shipping. Detwcen September 10
and 11 she captured und sank the follow
ing vessels: The Klllln and Trabboch,
carrying coal; tho Indus nnd I.ovat,
empty; tho Diplomat, canylng general
cargo.
A Lloyd's telegram from Rangoon,
British India, Ntatcs that tho Emden
sank tho British steamer Clan JIatheson
on Septemher 15, In tho Hay of Bengal.
The crew wus saved.
Coal was taken fro mall the steum
crs; also all the crews. The Kablnga,
fully loaded with a gcneial cargo for
America, was also captured on September
12. Two days later nil the captured crews
wero transferred to tho Kablnga.
A w-irshlp Is pursuing tho Emden,
which is attempting to escape In n
southerly direction, nccordlng to the
crews of tho sunken merchantmen, who
atrlved licit" today.
The Indus was the first vessel taken.
Tho crew was removed and ten shots
fired Into her before she keeled over.
This was on September 11. About mid

sunk at 9 a. in the next day. Tho Diplo
mat was taken Sunday.
GiniMAN SHOOTINU ERRATIC.
The Germans placed a mine forward,
but the explosion still left the vessel
afloat. The enemy thou filed shells nt
close quarters. An eye witness says tb
shooting was astonishingly erratic and
caused laughter. The first shot at the
Dlplumat waterllne went across the vessel
amidships. Six shells were fired before
the merchantman showed signs of sink
ing. A mine was also placed in tho Klllln,
but again bhots were necessaiy to com
plete thu destruction. Twelve shells were
sent Into the I.ovat, which took two hours
to sink. The Trobbach also gave a lot
of trouble. The Kablnga was spared

LONDON, Sept. 22.
This grim story of a British bayonet
charge In which tho Germans were routed
was related by a wounded Boldlcr Just
back from northern Franco!
"They can stand fire, can those Ger
mans. Wo wore picking them oft llko
winking, nnd still they cntne on.
"Then, when they got within shouting
distance, wo received the word to charge.
Our ofllcer was a sprinter, but we wero
out of the trench and heeling after him,
all of us shouting.
"Tho Germans seemed struck. They
Just stood and gaped as wo came chas
ing down, their mouths wide open, as
If they were wondering what the blazes
wo wore up to.
"When we were within 20 or SO yards
of them thero was an alteration. They
knew then what we wanted, nnd thoy
Just threw down their rifles, turned about
nnd sot the pace. Some of them, as thoy
went, chucked off their packs, nnd a few
even tried to pull oft their tunics.
"But wo had 'em I I never knew I
could run bofore, nor tho other chaps,
and wo pinked the 'blighters' In the back
by the score.
"When we got winded we came back
the same way, and It was so; they were
lying on their faces, bayoneted In tho
back."
A lance corporal of tho Connaught
Rangers sold:
"Tho disconcerting thing In battles now
adays Is that you may be fighting for
hours on end ond never as much as
see an enemy to gtapple with.
"The way tho Germans sacrifice their
men for the sake of making an Impression
Is appalling. One position on our left
ifrom which wo would have fallen back
In any case, because It was dominated by
a battery which wo couldn't locate, was
ndvanccd against by tho German Infantry
under a heavy fire. They camo on In one
long never-ending stream, whilo our rlflo
and gun flro tore hideous gaps through
their ranks.
"The Red Cross men say that in front
of that position alone 1C0O dead and
wounded were picked up nftcr the fight
was over. Our loss was not moro than
20 of all ranks.
"What we are all wondering Is how
long the Germans can keep up this sort
of thing. I havo scon our cavalry thrown
Into confusion merely because the horses
shied at the heaps of dead bodies thoy
had to tiead over when attempts wero
mado to clear our front of tho advancing
Germans."
Sergennt Major MacDermott writes
in a letter:
"Wn'rc Wonderfully cheerful, and
happy as baro-legged urchins scamper
ing over the fields. Not that there's
much play for us. It's all work, fight
ing nnd fighting and working again,
though you mustn't think I'm grum
bling, for I'm not.
"I am writing to you with the enemy's
shells bursting and screaming overhead.
Though their artillery has been making
0 fiendish row all along our front.
"It's the quantity not the quality of
tho German shells that are having ef
fect on us, and It's not so much tho
actual damage to life as tho neiv
rncklng noise that counts for so much.
Townsmen who are used to tho noise
of the btrccts can stand It a lot bettit
than the countrymen, and 1 think you
will find that by far the fittest men are
those of regiments recruited in tho big
cities.

ROME, Sept. 22.
The AiiHtrlans nre endeavoring to find
scapegoats for tholr lecent debacles. It
is leported In Vienna that tho Austrian
Field Slnrshal Vodinowskl, who was of
Slav origin and was accused of com

At the front, rield Marshal Foielch,

TOTROGRAD, Sept. a
Such success as has come to th(j r,,,,,
slan armies ngalnst tho Germans In Ea!
Prussia has proved a welcome surprlja
to many of tho veteran troops of u,J
Czar who, at tho beginning of tho great
European wnr, stilt smarted from tin
effects of their defeats by the Japanese
There hns been a change In the condl.
tlon of things on tho Russo-acrman
frontier that might surprise even jttt-t
sons familiar with tho Russian plan tt
campaign. Ono Russian ofllcer at least
who may be regarded as a reliable a
Ihorltjs hnn been much surprised by tha
rapid progress of tho Russian advance.
Originally five Russian army corps
wero oidcrcd to the Austrian frontier
for the purpose of delaying tho Austrian
advance If It should bo directed against
thnt line. However, tho Russian Gen
crnl Staff was quite convinced that tha
main attack would aim at Warsaw
through roland, and to meet that.aU
tack two new army corps were sent for
ward, and nt tho same tlmo tho cavalry,
on the left flank (Chotln and Klelce),
was strengthened.
Tho Austrian Invading army met only
weak Apposition In Poland, and the twii
Russian corps appeared to retire.
Suddenly the Russian cavalry in tha
South, that Is to say, on tho left wlngy
based on Klelce, took tho offensive. Ai
tho samo tlmo tho Russian army wni
ready to pour her enormous masses Intii
Prussia from tho northeast frontier. (
Tho great Russian mobilization wan
ready several days beforo Germany haiL
expected, and Just at the moment wheru
Germany should have mado her decisive
blow at Trance and been able to spara
her first lino troops for meeting tho Prus-J
slan attack. This plan became a failure'..
Now, Russia has moro than two and
one-half million troops In the north-east!
corner of Prussia alone, nnd the Cosp.iely
cavalnry number 130,000, in seven battlo
divisions. The German defence against
this avalanche consists of second lino
leservists, not more than 800,000 strong,,
already retiring to the row of forts along
tho Vistula between Konlgsberg, Marien
burg, and Torn.
However, this line will bo difficult to
forco by an Invading army, it will be
moro dlfllcult for the reservist army,
which has only 310 guns and about CO
Maxim guns, to elofend.
The effect of this heavy Russian at
tack is noticeable everywhere in the ease
of Prussia, and over Berlin is a cloud of
stern pressure. People are leaving theltj
homes In fright of tho Cossack hordes,
who are spreading with nn enormous
celerity. i
There nre still about 10,000 Russians Irj
Gormnny in a distressful plight. More
than 10,000 of the G01 man-Russians havd
left during tho last two weeks to return
home by way of Sweden. All of them
wcie lacking the ordinaiy nccessaiies o
life, but the Swedish people everywhere
have tried to lessen their sufferings, and
at the main railway Junctions, wliera
tho special trains stopped, Swedish ladles
.have distributed food nnd rugs, etc,
among tho miserable people. Thoy alj

lough tieatment they havo met with at
several places In Germany, but at tho
samo time they tell many stories of Ger
man courtesy nnd chivalrous behavlol
