Battle On
For Road
To Berlin
If Russians Successful, Whole
Austrian Army Overthrown
London, 5 a. m. —The correspondent
of the Times at Petrograd under date
of Sunday, referring to a battle just
begun, which, if as successful as the
Russians' operations against Lemberg
will overthrow the Austrian forces
and practically open the road to Ber
lin, says:
"Reliable information as to the pro
gress of the battle enables me to state
that the outlook is no whit less prom
ising. but that several days may
elapse before the final overthrow of
the Austrianarmy.
Courage of Despair.
The enemy disposes at least thirty
divisions besides several German
corps and will fight with the courage
of despair.
“On the east Prussian front there is
news of the appearance of part if not
the whole of the Third Bavarian Ar
my Corps. The trops were installed
at Allenstein. which Is being recon
noitered by Russian cavalry."
Gradually Surrounding.
London, 1055 a. m.—-Official reports
from Russia say Russian troops are
gradually surrounding Przemsyl,
which will soon either surrender or
be taken by assault.
Przemsyl is a strong fortress, fifty
miles west of Lemberg, and its fail
would mean the loss hv the Austrians
of the last stronghold in Galicia. It
would clear the way to an advance of
the Russians westward towards the
Junction of their forces on the east
Prussian frontier.
Many of the German
Troops White-Haired
London, 4:50 a. m.—A despatch to The
Times from Ostend says arrivals from
Brussels say many of the landstrum
troops, drilling daily, are men with white
hair. This, the correspondent says, shows
that Germany called up every man able
to bear a rifle. Similar statements are
made by those whj have seen German
soldiers proceeding north to Antwerp.
The Germans have placed siege guns
around Brussels. These are of heavy
calibre and are sunk in concrete.
“I learn from a sure source,” The
Times' Ostend correspondent continues,
“that Empcft'or William w r as at Brussels
Wednesday evening. Me appointed Gen.
von Luttwitc governor of Belgium.”

The Austrian legation issues this
statement:
"Reports from Russian sources that
