to the singing convention over at l Bunn Vista, Augusta, Newnan and
Washington.—The German embassy
here received the following wireless
IftMaage from the foreign office at
Berlin;
“About 30,000 Russian prisoners, In
cluding many high officers, have been
captured in battles in East Prussia. At
Ortelsburg, Hohenstein and Tannen-
burg, the Germans attacked the Rus
sians near the three cltlee, through
swamps and lakes.”
Terrific fighting continues on the
Austro-Rnsslan frontier. Both the
combined Austrian and German forces
and the Russian armies claim an ad
vantage.
From Austrian sources it is stated
that the Russians are being pursued
in the direction of Lublin, in Russian
Poland. Earlier advices from St. Pe
tersburg stated that the Austrians
9 were active chiefly in the vicinity of
Lublin.
A news dispatch from St. Petersburg
says the Russian advance In East
Prussia is proceeding, and reports an
earlier Russlun claim of successes in
Galicia.
Fresh forces of Germans have ap
peared oa the Prussian front, accord
ing to a British official report.
This bears out recent statements
from Belgium that the Germans were
withdrawing troops from their west
ern front to reinforce the Austro-Ger-
man lines In the east.
Germans Advance on French Left
Paris.—An official statement issued
summarises the situation to date as
follows:
“On our right, after partial checks,
we have taken the offensive and the
enemy is retiring before us.
“In the center we have had alterna
tive checks and successes, but a gen
eral action is now being fought.
On our left, by a series of circum
stances which turned in favor of the
Germans and despite lucky counter at
tacks, the Anglo-French forces were
obliged to give way. As yet our ar
mies, notwithstanding a few incontest-
ible cheeks, remain Intact. The mor
ale of our troops is excellent ia spite
of considerable losses, which also are
being rapidly filled from regimental de
pots.”
Agree to U. S. Radio Station
Washington.—Both Germany nnd
Great Britain have accepted the pro
posal of the United States that the
wireless stations at Tuckerton, N. J.,
and Kayvtlte, L. L be permitted to
send code messages to belligerent
countries, subject to censorship by
American naval officers.
Some Houses Around Paris Exempt
Barts—The decision of the mtltta
ry authorities to clear the zone of
forts around Barts docs not affect the
soue Immediately surrounding the old
fortifications of the city, it only ap
plies to detached forts.
More Soldiers for France
Paris.- Additional French forces to
talling 600.000 men will be ready for
active service In about six weeks, as a
result of the decision announced to
call out the 1914 young men and the
elder classes of the reservists.
Delivery of Artillery Guns Stopped
London.—The Dally Mali’s Amster
dam correspondent says he has receiv
ed Information from a reliable source
that heavy artillery for the Namur
forts was ordered long ago from the
Krupps, but that the Germans post
poned delivery.

military observers and two officers to
go with the British army were desig
nated by the war department.
