Vast Hold Positloas. It is essential, however, that they should hold their positions for they cover the lines of retreat to the north, which would be the only way out if defeat should be their lot. That they ( realize this is shown by the fact that Nftey have been contesting every foot of the ground with the allied armies the last two days and that both sides have suffered heavily. The British army, as has been its lot since It landed in France, is taking its full share of the fighting, which has been particularly severe since the Germans crossed the Alsne and made their first determined stand in the re treat from Paris.. On High Ground. The German center, which has now come into line with the two wings, atretebes from the heights north of closed. Many German Prisoners. Many German prisoners have fallen into the hands of the British and so great a number of prisoners and strag glers have been taken by the French that the Minister of War refuses to make an estimate, for fear of being accused of exaggeration. The losses in captured all can stand, for it is the number of dead and wounded scatter ed through the field from the Marne to the Atsne that it is feared will be staggering. Firemen from Paris have been sent out to carry out sanitary measures on the battlefield and motor cars with doctors have left London and Paris to search for the wounded that might have been overlooked by the army am bulance corps. It Is known that many wounded are being cared for by peas ants in their cottages. While all this fighting is going on on land the British navy has not been idle. It Is learned that the German, PERFECTING PLANS TO DEPOSIT GOLD New York, Sept. 17.—The notable achievement last week in finance was the perfecting of the bankers’ plan for reopening the foreign exchange market by subscriptions to a $150,- 000,000 gold fund from the banks of the whole country, to be available for deposit in Canada to the credit of the Bank of England. Advices from Washington Indicated, however, that conditions are now so much relieved as to make the actual consummation of the plan unnecessary. Bankers said they appreciated that any re sumption of the country’s commerce must depend wholly on re-establish ing tho exchange market The proposed gold pool, the $100,- 000,000 New York city loan and ad vances to Southern banks to finance cotton holdings made their influence felt in hadening money rates. The government crop report disclosed that excesses of yield of food crops was confined chiefly to winter wheat. Measures of railroad retrenchment accompanied the'Appeal to the Pres ident by railroad executives for leni ent treatment by the commerce com mission. The President’s response to this appeal hardened financial senti ment. In its loan increase of $26,000,000 the bank statement reflected the shift ing! of money incidental to the city loan, the success of which has gone far towards dispelling recent depres sion. A substantial cash gain and further reduction of the deficit in cash reserves were the other note worthy features of the exhibit. LONDON CONFIRMS RUSSIAN VICTORY London, Sept. 17.—In the battles proceeding in Galicia and Russian Po land success appears to cling to the Russians. They are reported to have Iron a decisive victory at Krasnik and Tomasrow Thursday. The Austrian and German armies are estimated at forty divisions of infantry and eleven CZAR’S ARMY TAKES 120,000 PRISONERS London, Sept. 17.—The British war information bureau version of tho Austrian defeat in South Poland fol lows: “The Austrian invasion of South Po land which penetrated as far as Opole and Krasnostav and Zamosc, was pro tected on its right by an army operat or cavalry, totalling more than a mil- ,n * eaat of Lemberg.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17.—Considera ble interest has been stirred in Geor gia over the claim of Mrs. M. L. Sel lers, of Cairo, Ga., that she holds the original will of the late Francis A. Ogden, a multi-millionaire of Houston, Texas. Tho Ogden estate has been in liti gation in Texas for several yen with many claimants to the fortune, estl mated at six million dollars. Mrs. Sellers says the will She holds was made a number of years ago, is in Ogden’s own writing and names Levy Harper, her former husband, as the beneficiary. She has employed coun sel to look after her claim. inuously since Aug. 25 and the Rus Ians claim to be winning both in Po and and Galicia. Took 10,000 Prisoners, Vienna says the Austrians were suc cessful during the first stage of the fighting in Galicia and took 10,000 prisoners, but that they were obliged to withdraw from Lemberg and con centrate in a better position, because the northern wing of the Austrian ar my in Poland was threatened by great ly superior numbers. The battle of Rawa Ruska, which is passing, apparently will prove the crucial test of the Austrian army. Archduke Frederick of Austria, is with the army there. A message from sourc es unfriendly to Austria declare the result of the Galician operations will determine whether the Austrian army will continue to be a factor in the war. Calling Reserves. Austria is reported to be enrolling her last classes of reserves. While there is deep satisfaction in England over the progress of events on the French battlefields, there are no signs of rejoicing or celebration. London yesterday wore its usual Sunday calm. Newspapers continue to counsel the people against over-op timism and any belief that the war will be other than a long and costly one. The German Gen. Von Buelow is giving the German people the same caution. He tells them they are only at the beginning of sacrifices and suf ferings. LOW EXCURSION FARES - VIA Atlantic Coast Line * “Til.

By the capture of Tomaszow on Sept. 10, it is probable the Russians drove a wsdgc through the Austrian line. Today a brilliant Russian victory is reported in which 30,000 prisoners and several hundred guns were taken. This is probably the immediate result of the Tomaszow action A dispatch to Lloyd's News from Petrograd, dated yesterday, says: "Two Austrian armies are surround ed and 60,000 prisoners have been tak en including 600 officers from ono ar my and 6600 from another. Tho sur render of both armlos is Impenring. Tho Germas again are moving troops from tho East to tho West." A dispatch to the Reuter's Tele gram Company from Paris says "The Matin learns from Petrograd that the first Austrian army under Gen. Von Auffenberg has lost 300 of ficers, 28,000 soldiers and 400 guns; and that the second Austrian army has lost as prisoners 600 officers and 70,000 men. The Russian victory is considered to be absolutely decisive. 1 A message from Petrograd to tho Paris Journal, states the Ruslana have taken 120,000 prisoners and other captures are Imminent. W. J.
