RUSSIANS IN HUNGARY
BUDAPEST, Sept. 21*.—It is officially announced
that the Russians have crossed the Hungarian frontier
at several points in the northeast. To reach this city,
however, they must fight through a mountainous region
and must subdue the fortresses of Przemysl and ( racow
where the Austrian forces are vrey numerous. These obsta
cles also confront them in any attempt to reach Vienna.
The people of this country are confident that the Germans
are sure to come to the side ot the Austrian armies and
are confident that their allies are now marching fiom the
north to stem the Russian tide. It is stated that the re
ports from Petrograd are exaggerated beyond all reason.
There is even hope that the Russian invaders will be
trapped between the armies of this empire and the Ger
man army which is reported to have invaded Russian
Poland from East Prussia in the north.
AND YET THE GREAT BATTLE RAGES
PARIS. Sept. 2!*.—It is officially announced this
morning that the supreme conflict l>etween the Germans
and the allied armies is still raging across France with un
abated furv and that the advantage gained by either side
is not noteworthy. After two weeks of tremendous strug
gles the opposing forces are still battling for.supremacy
but the consequences will be so vital that each side is fight
ing with a prudence that has never been equalled. On the
left wing of the allies, north of the river Somrne and be
tween the Somme and the Oise the Germans have deliver
ed several fierce attacks but in all cases, according to the
official announcement, these attacks have been repulsed.
In some instances the enemy has been repulsed to the
north of the river Aisne but in the center the relative pos
itions of the hostile armies remain practically unchanged.
In Champagne and to the east of the Argonne district the
Germans have restricted their activities to heavy can
nonading. Between Argonne and the Meuse there has
been reported a slight progress by the 1* rench who are con
fronted by strongly organized positions occupied by the
Germans on the heights ot the Meuse itself. In the
Woevre district and on the right wing of the allies, in
Lorraine and the Vosges, no notable modification in the
positions of either of the opponents has occurred. The
Allies report taking many prisoners yesterday and the
government declares the position is favorable tor the
French.
GERMANS TO BESIEGE ANTWERP
ROTTERDAM. Sept. 29.— Indications point surely to
the certainty that the city of Antwerp is about to be be
seiged by the Germans actively, (hie hundred and fifty
thousand German troops are available for the task and
this force is said to be so placed now that nothing remains
but the final preparations for opening the attack. Aust
rian siege guns will be used for the purpose so that the
German guns can be kept employed at \ erdun and the
the other strongholds which are now invested by the
troops of the Kaiser. It is reported the Germans ieel that
the capture of Antwerp would remove the constant men
ace from Belgian sorties in the rear of the German main
armies operating in France and those keeping the line of
communications open through Belgium itself. The forces
which are now being recruited in England may not be
ready to go to the continent to attempt the relief of the
city and the Russians need so large a force in the east that
none may be available for use in Belgium. This will leave
the Belgian garrison alone to perform the work of de
fense.
JAPANESE CLAIM VICTORY
TOKIO, Sept. 29.— The Japanese troops have been
re-inforced by French troops from some of the French
possessions in the Orient and the allied forces drove the
Germans back yesterday in the direction of Tsingtau cap
turing fifty prisoners and four machine guns. 1 he Jap
anese fleet is now acting in conjunction with the land for
ces in the attack on the litis fort which is being subjected
to a fierce bombardment.
The Japanese forces have also started west along the
line of the German railroad and evidently intend to oc
cupy all the stations along the line. Gradually the invest
ing army and navy is closing in and the real struggle is
not far distant. It is denied that the fortifications are
equal in any respect to the fortifications at Port Arthur
and the siege is expected to be decided successfully in a
short time.
_ i
GERMANS ATTACK BERLIN CITIES
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 29.—The Germans have again
bombarded Malines and attacked Grimbergen but are re
ported to have been repulsed by the Belgians with heavy
losses. The Belgians also claim other successes in that
neighborhood. Malines is only some fifteen miles from
Antwerp and Grimbergen is about twenty miles distant
from the same city so that the attacks on those places
confirm the belief that the Germans have begun the move
for the assault on the great shipping port itself.
AUSTRIA AGAIN CONQUERED
PETROGRAI), Sept 29.—The Austrian right wing
has been driven back beyond the Carpathians into Hung
ary where they are being pursued by the victorious Rus
sians. The Austrian debacle is now complete and it is only
a matter of time until that empire must sue for peace and j
leave the Germans to fight out the war alone until they j
too are conquered and the Russian armies march into ■
Berlin.
AUSTRIANS FALL BACK ON CARPATHIANS
PETROGRAI), Sept. 29.—Galicia has now almost
been completely cleared of Austrians who have, as ex- j
pected, taken refuge in the Carpathian mountains. If ;
th Austrians have prepared places in the mountain fast-1
nesses where they can survive they may yet constitute!
a menace to the Russian advance as the latter can hardly |
hope to force the passage of the Carpathians in cold
weather. I
SEWARD REICHSTAG DID NOT
MEET YESTERDAY
Court Vistitors Invited to attend
Screaming Skit in Coun
cil Chamber
The Seward Bundesrath did not
mee£ lust night as there were no con
tracts to be given out or cancelled as
the case might be. It is said that a
meeting will take place next Monday
and there may be no presumption in
inviting the court visitors to attend
the performance. It may be advisable
first to explain that the Bundesrath
is the Seward city council. It is pre
sided over by what one of the mem
bers called the “Kaiser of Russia’*.
l£ is governed by an inner cabinet of
four. The other three members, hav
some brains, are excluded from
this sanctum lest they might inter
fere with some of the contract
ipulations of the majority. This
ostracism is due chiefly to the fact
tha£ one of the minority in public
meeting called the “Kaiser” a pin
head and another discovered that the
contract for the school house gave
the contractors two hundred years to
construct the building. While the
visiting attorneys, witnesses, aye and
the grund jury itself are linding time
hanging heavy they might attend
this gathering of notables for their
amusement and entertainment. The
curtain usually rises at eight o'clock
The officials are made up of eminent !
journalists, avocats, authorities on
international questions etc. and the
members of the sacrosanct Four take
what is left. Our visitors are re- j
quested to remembcr the date for
this screaming farce. Another adver
tisement may appear later. Admis
sion free.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.— The
senate today passed a resolution cal
ling on the new Federal Trade Com
mission to start an investigation of
the Standard Oil company with a
view to discover once for all the
methods of the great trust. This is
the first job given to the commission
and the haste of the senate to have
Standard Oil probed can be judged by
the fact that although the commis
