PROBABLY GREATEST
IN HISTORY OF WARS
Expert Declares Passage of
River by Frontal Attacks
Would Be Most Notable
Military Feat.
LONDON, Sept 00.
In an Interesting article In tho London
Dally Express, Lieutenant - Colonel
Alsager Pollock, of tho British nrmy,
gives a mlnuto description of tho theatre
of tho world's greatest battle on tho
banks of the Alsnc. It Is only necessary
to possess reasonable Intelligence and
a fairly largo map of tho country
through which tho Alsno Hows In order
to understand how It Is that tho Allied
army, after successfully effecting a
crossing, has not only been prevented
from prosecuting Its advanco beyond the
river, but has oven been temporarily
driven baqk to tho left bank, at some
points, by counter-attacks, and thus com
pelled to bravo again and again tho perils
of forcing the passage.
Colonel Pollock describes the Alsno as
a very sluggish river. Frlm Vllleneuve,
one mllo cast of Solssons, to Lamottc,
clsht miles cast of Complcgne, a dis
tance of nearly seventeen miles, tho fall
Is only twenty-ono feet. Tho flats be
tween tho hills forming tho valloy nro
seldom less than ono mile In breadth,
and tho hills themselves riso Uience,
rather abruptly as a rule, to heights of
from 300 to 3C0 feet abovo tho river. Tho
configuration of tho hills Is very In
dented, so that on either aide, but more
especially on the right bank, tho guns
and also tho riflemen of a forco ' dis
puting tho passage can readily be dis
posed oo as to bo perfectly sheltered
from artillery fire from the opposlto
bank, whllo rtt tho same tlmo command
ing long reaches of tho valley both up
and down thij stream.
RANGE FINDING DIFFICULT.
According to Colonel Pollock, climatic
conditions render tho finding of an oo-
I curate rango for heavy guns almost Im
possible. In tho clear atmosphere of
South Africa, where he served during
tho Boer War, tho flro of artillery at 8000
yards, or oven more, could be quite use
fully observed, particularly whon the sun
shone on the target, but It Is not so
on the banks of the Alsnc, and thlB fact
Is ono of much disadvantage to the Al
lies. Here, then, wo have an explana
tion sufficient In Itself to account for
the difficulty experienced by the British
and French troops In making good their
hold on tho right bank of tho Alsne, In
spite of all tho valor displayed by them
In successfully effecting the crossing of
the river.
"A single example," says Colonel Pol
lock, "will suffice to make clear the whole
matter In this connection. Let us as
sume an attempt to cross at Vlc-sur-Aisne,
among, of course, a number of
other points simultaneously attacked.
Ono mile south of Montols la an artil
lery position three miles long and hav
ing a command of, roughly, 360 feet over
tho level of the river. Tho hills on tho
opposlto bank have in no case a com
mand within 60 feet as great. In other
words, the artillery positions at the dis
posal of tho attackers enjoy a command
of not less than !0 feet over any pos
sessed by the defenders."
A POINT OF VANTAGE.
But according to Colonel Pollock, on
the left bank of tho d'Hoxlon, a tributary
stream which falls into tho Alsno at
Vlcsum-AIsne, a convenient spur Juts out
Iursiwuru, i rum uemnu wmen an open

from which direct fire could be brought

The point that Colonel Pollock makes

PETROGBAD, Sept 20.
A graphic story of tho fall of Lemberg,
Gallcla, nnd the scenes attending the
Russian occupation of tho city, has just
been given to me by an Englishman who
has arrived here after witnessing those
historic events.
"I am an engineer," said ho, "and with
a friend of tho samo calling had business
In Lomborg. Wo were not molested In
uny way until about a week before the
arrival of the Russians, when wo were
suddenly sent for by the Austrian police,
placed under arrest nnd conveyed to
prison. Simultaneously all our money
was confiscated.
"Wo were kept In cells for four or five
dnys, during which tlmo absolutely no
food was given us. Fortunately wo re
ceived a small portion of drinking water
each day or tho 'hunger strike' would
have been as complete as any undergone
by suffragettes In the London jails. On
the fourth or fifth day tvo were released,
but we were both so weak from lack of
food that wo could hardly stand.
"Just about tho time wo wore released
word was received that the Russians were
advancing upon the city, and panic broke
put. The entire Austrian administration
fled precipitately.
NO DEFENSE ATTEMPTED.
"Defense of the city was not attempted
at all. Tho Russians gavo the demoral
ized Austrian military authorities three
days In which to surrender and evacuato
the place so that tho Inhabitants would
be spared tho horrors of a bombardment.
"On the third day a Russian aeroplane
made Its nppcarnnco over tho city watch
ing for the Austrians' departure. Tho
Austrians fired upon tho ncroplane, but
It returned apparently uninjured to the
Russian lines.
"Then tho Invaders made some show of
opening a bombardment. I should say
It was only a feint; at any rate, no shells
seoined to fall In tho city. Surely tho
Russian gunners were not such bad
marksmen as all that
"The noise of the Russian artillery was
terrific, and It scared the already panic
stricken townspeople almost Into hyster
ics. Thirty-five thousand persons, some
of them residents of Lemberg, and others
refugees from the surrounding country,
bolted helter-skelter. The large Jewish
A distinguished prlsohcr In Hungary Is
a Russian general, Eugeno Masllnoff.
General Mastlnoff still looks quite defiant
nlthough he has grown a shade more
modest slnco ho was taken prisoner.
When brought Into tho prison camp, h
asked, through nn Interpreter, for the com
mander. Colonel Alfred von Obauer com
piled with the request, nnd, with tho
courtesy characteristic of officers, pre
sented himself to tho Russian general.
Tho caged Russian lion was tactless
enough to remain seated. Colonel Obauer
then commanded, In a firm but quiet
tone: "Attention 1" whereupon tha gen
eral found It advisable to show, by rising
stiffly to his height, that he took the les
son In military discipline.
A correspondent of a Vienna paper
thus describes a war-prison Bcene In

"You find there next to Frenchmen,
with their well-cared-for comploxlons,
Russian officers, with effeminate features

which a Cossack dutifully and humbly
sharpens, for ono of our Infantry soldiers,

diers nro to go to the front wns wit
nessed recently at Chelsea Barracks,
where the Irish Guards wero quartered.
Late ono evening some one spread tho
rumor that tho Irish Guards were to bo
transferred to ono of the army depots.
That evening waB ono of tho wildest
known at Chelsea Barracks. Then came
the announcement that the rumor was
truo.
Immediately tho Irish Guards set up
tho cry, "Wo want tr go to tho front.
Our placo Is In France. We won't go to
nny depots." For more than an hour
tho yelling kept up. Then tho officer
mado speeches telling the men to be
patient that they soon would bo off for
tho scene of fighting. Even nftcr theso
promises a forco of mounted police was
established about tho barracks to lnsuro
pence and quiet.
Corporal J. Bailey in a letter home ox
presses lively contempt for German
marksmanship, as follows:
"On the firing line the Germans seem
to havomoro ammunition than Is good
for them, and they keep firing away at
least ten rounds for every one of ours
without doing half the damage, or any
thing llko It.
Tho Dally Mall prints tho following:
"How he once had a flght with tho

ficult from the moment when the attack
ers begin to mount the slopes beyond the
river In faco of artillery, machine gunB,
and rifles securely placed where It Is Im
possible to reach them from the opposite
bank. Fortunately, he adds, the difficulty
confronting a flank attack directly over
the Alsne Is far less and in his opinion
such attack can be successfully made.
MAY MAKE HISTORIC RECORD,
"Meanwhile," Colonel Pollock says In
conclusion, "there Is also another factor
of tho problem which has most certainly
exercised a weighty Influence. Von
Kluk's defeated army, we may be quite
sure is not that which brought the pur
suit to a btandstill. -Von Buelow without
doubt, moved up his own army to occupy
and entrench the most favorablo posl
tlons on the right bank of the river, In
anticipation of Von Kluk's retirement
behind It.
"Repeated failures In the actual condi
tions cannot have been otherwise than
costly, and we must therefore prepare
ourselves for a very heavy list of casual
ties as well as for further delay pending
the exercise of strong pressure upon the
enemy's right flank.
"If the purely frontal attack succeeds,
the passage of tha Alsne will be the
most remarkable of all recorded In history."
frightened, as the Austrians had sys
tematically circulated shorlcs that the
Russians would massacre tho Jews,
"Families carrying a few of their most
valuable possessions fled pell-mell along
the road. Some had tho advantage of
horso carts, nnd a few had automobiles.
Weeping children, surrounded by their
tearful mothers, rushed about wild-eyed
with fear. Aged men and women, too
old for hasty flight, wero Jostled by the
younger refugees In the frlght-fllled mob.
"Bankers made their escape with all
the money belonging to other peoplo, nnd
even the savings boxes of the poor were
broken open and the money taken.
"Nobody was allowed to leave by train
for Vienna unless he or she could de
posit at the jallway station the sum of
WW0 kronen, which was 'to be returned
when the depositor reached the capital.'
The reason advanced for this decision
upon the part of the authorities waa that
tho money waa required as security for
the ability of the Invading traveler to
mee the enormously Increased cost of
living In Vienna. Those seeking to go
to Budapest were compelled to deposit
1000 kronen. The cost of living there did
not seem to be eo high.
PITIFUL STREET SIGHTS.
"Thero were pitiful sights In the
streets, notably the spectacle of Austrian
soldiers, with wounded bodies, hatless,
shoeless, and In rage, begging a crust of
bread.
"Numbers of them belonging to the
Slavonic race got Into civilian clothing
and- were to be seen carrying their uni
forms under their arms In bundles. They
said they were going to burn them.
"The utter disorganization of the Aus
trian military administration and the
s'ate of chaos Into which the Austrian
war commissariat degenerated are be
neath criticism. The Austrian nrmy Itself
proved to be disunited and an unwilling
mass of men that fell apart In the face
of danger. Many of them were only too
glad to throw down their arms and sur
render. When taken prisoner they fra
ternlzed like brothers with the Russians.
"The Russian army entered Lemberg In
splendid condition. It was attended by
an enormous provision train, with every
requisite in abundance. The inhabitants,
especially the Ruthenlan Slavs, met tho
Czar's soldiers with demonstrations of
delight The Russian officers were show
eied with flowers and men and women
kissed their hands
"Exemplary order was Immediately es
tablished by the Russians, soldiers being
used for police duty. The Russian com

clared that he wished to co-operate with
the local authorities This system proved
so eflicaclous tliat tha Chief Deputy went
to the Russian commander and thanked

Letters from French soldiers on the

found upon German prisoners throw In
teresting light upon the situation on tha
battle front.
One soldier had written:
"I am writing this In ft trench under

Us destination. The Germans have been
shelling us continually for two days and
two nights, and the roll of artillery
thunder has become so Incessant that
we can sleep without minding It,
"We have been under fire so long that
we have ceased to mind It altogether,
Although I doubt If any man can ever
overcome the sickening sensation caused
by the nearby explosion of a German
shell. It causes a tremor of tha earth
and throws up a big pile of dirt. When
the dirty, black smoke rolls away one
can see a hole big enough to bury a
house In.
"The Gorman gunners nre assisted by
their acroplanee, which go up every day
and find tho ranges. They report any
troop movements and enable the Ger
mans to turn their guns against our mon
when they movo forward.
"The destruction Is terrible. I cannot
tell how many towns nnd villages I have
seen with the buildings blasted and
blackened with fire. Bridges are wrecked
and railroad tracks nre torn up. It will
be many years before this country re
gains Its former beautiful aspect.
"Tho men believe that they soon will
be pursuing the Germans, and already
wo nro getting winter equipment, so I
gueis tho War Office looks for a winter
campaign. Wo are well fedV but the
wet, cold weather ha caused a good
deal of sickness In the ranks. Wo are
