That the main lino of the French
forts, extcndlnf, from Verdun to Toul,

Offlee today.
Ofllclal announcement Is made that
siege guns have been taken from M0I2
to bombard Verdun and the strong
French forts In tho vicinity of that
stronghold.
The official statement Is:
"Tho German troops are attacking
the entire lino of the French forttflea
tlons along the French eastern fron
tier from Verdun to Toul. In an at
tempt to raise tho slego and prevent
tho demolition of their forts, already
suffering severely from the German
shell fire, the French have made sov-
V
fenses along the Itiver OIso and the
Alsne la Intact, and tho efforts of the
enemy to carry tho forts by night at
tacks luwd proved futile.
"Along tho lino from our right
through tho Argotme forests no Im

Ka.it of the Argonncs tho German lines
have been extended through Varenncs,
which was taken by a series of bril
liant assaults, in which the enemy lost
heavily,

"In French Lorraine and on the

"All have been repulsed with heavy
losses to the enemy, who has also been
driven back on his main supports.
"The right wing of the Gorman
army has been under severe pressure
from the combined Hrttish-Frcnch
forces, but at no point has tho enemy
succeeded In making an Impression on
our lines. The main chain of do-
the situation as previously reported.
"Slimmed up. It can be stated that,
while a scries of violent combats have,
and are. taking place, at no point is
the battle seemingly npproarhlng a de
cisive stage. The spirit of the German
troops is wonderful. They have met
the most desperate attacks with coun
ter assaults and have Inflicted great
damage on the enemy."

VIGIL IN MUDDY TRENCHES
LONDON, Fept. 25.
An official statement, said to have
been made at the headquarters in the
field of the German army yesterday.
says:
"In the western theatre of war there
were some minor engagements today,
but nothing of importance transpired
There Is no news from Belgium of the
eastern war area.
"The enemy, in order to maintain
himself along the whole front, Is using
detachments of tho active army and
the landwehr. Our progress is slow
owing to the strength of the defensive
positions against which we are press
ing and the continuous battle may well
last for several days more before a de
cision is reached, since it now approxi
mates siege warfare. The Germans are
using searchlights which, coupled with
their great strength and heavy artil
lery, leads to the supposition that they
are employing material which was col
lected for the siege of Paris.
"During September IS the artillery
fire was Intermittent on both sides dur-
nur Iin supporting their Infantry ad
vance, in always. b a heavy bombard
ment The attui ks were not delivered
with groat vigor and ceased at 2 o'clock
in the morning.
"September 10 was uneventful ex
cept that a hostile aeroplane brought
down a ltrltlsh aviator who had
dropped an ineendlar.i bomb on a
transport train with considerable ef
fect. A store of the enemy's muni
tions was found burled near the Alsne.
There also were traces of large quan
tities of stores having been burned, in
dicating that as far back as tho Aisne
tho German retirement was hurried.
"On September 20 there was a brief
hpell of fine weather. The Gentians
made counter attacks at several points.
All these were repulsed with loss. Tho
adance of the German Infantry was
started with bunds playing. The
brunt of the resistance has fallen on
our infantry, who. despite the fact that
they were drenched to the skin, that
the trenches were almost filled with

Announces Continued Tri

Ofllclal news of great victories by the
Austro-Hungarlan army over tho Ser
vians, wns leceivcd b. wireless today
from the Foreign Offlee at Vienna. Tho
Austrians have penetrated Into Scrvia
more than 20 miles and captured strong
positions on the Drlna River, according
to the report. Like medbages conveyed th
news that tho attack of the French fleet
on Cattaro had proved a failure, only
slight damage being done.
In Philadelphia this afternoon George
von Grivlclc, Austio-IIungailau Consul
General, gave out this statement, an
nouncing tho successes of the Austrians:
"According to wireless news received,
r.c tight occurred In Gallcln. during the
last few days except somo unimportant
bklrmlshes. The weather Is said to bo
very unfavorable, but tho troops of the
Austro-Hungailan army are In excel
lent condition.
"News ciiculatlng and asserting that
the Russians were defeating and cutting
olf General Dankl's irmy near Przemysl
nnd that his troops were in dissolution
I ursued by the enemy. Is thereforo
again pure Inventions with the avowed
Intent to Impretb public opinion In neu
tral countries. The allegtd two days'
battle of Jaroslaw probably was not
moro thnn an engagement with outposts
ot tho Austro-Hungarian army, the mnln
forces or which are concentrating east
tho lortress of Cracow, while Its
of
tight wing Is using tho fortress of
Przemysl ns a basis.
"I"ijuall .Incorrect is all news which
persistently contend that a famine had
broken out in AUbtila-Huiigary. nnd that
a depiessed feeling pi e nils among tho
soldiers of tho army and among tlie popu
lation of the monarchy. A wiiUe.s tele
gram Just leceivcd emphasizes to the
contrao that the people, as well ns the
in my. nto In bcs.t of tplrits and havo full
conlldenco In final victory.
Particular! v pleasing was neun of re
cent successful engagements with Servl
aus. After several days of hnrd fighting
important Servian positions west of Kru
panj, a town about 20 miles Into Servian
leirltoiy east of Xvornlk on the Drlna
Rlier. were taken and many Servian guns
captured, while the attacks of the French
fleet on the foititlcatlons of the harbor of
I'nttuio dining moie than fuur weeks
pioxed to be a complete f.illuro, the only
damage done being a destruction of two
lighthouses on a small Island, whereupon
Mild feiiiadrnii left the AdrintU'.
"1'jttraoi dlnary rouiago was displayed
by our forces lighting on the Servian
borders, among these the lid Cio.itinu
Iloimd Division. This news is signltiennt
and is the best denial of the tepeated
statements made by the Russian and
Servian Governments claiming that the
southern Slavs are anxious to Join Servla.
"It Is i sported, finally, that the Rus
sians brutalize the Jewish Inhabltnntb In
all occupied places In Galicia and inclto
the Ruthenlan peasants against the Jews.
The cruelties of Russians against Jewish
inhabitants are getting worse and woise.
and are in striking contra-t to the Czai's
