Wings Are Shortened.
United Press Dispatch.
Paris, Oct. 1,—With the German left and right both re
treating, the Allies are reinforcing both the east and west in a
final effort to turn both wings. The Allies are holding advanced
positions north of the Somme River and west of the Oise River,
originally held by the Germans. The German right has been
shortened, also the left.
A desperate effort is believed to be progressing for posses
sion of the railroads of Belgium and the Allies’ complete success
by Monday is now predicted. Many prisoners,all of whom are ex
hausted, have been taken and these admit the German losses
have been enormous.
BOMBARMENT OF ANTWERP CONTINUES.
. United Press Dispatch.
Antwerp, Oct. 1.—The Germans continue the bombardment
w of the outer line of the Antwerp forts and are building con
crete bases for their siege guns now en route from Liege. The
roads are obstructed and washed out and it is believed that the
progress of the guns is slow.
4 The war office statement say : “The bombardment continued
Wednesday, merely chipping the surface forts. The spirit of
^ the' Belgian troops is excellent. The Belgians are retiring from
* the Tcrmonde district.”
The government’s statement at three o’clock this afternoon,
declared that the French continue their advances north of the
Somme River on the left flank, and also ii* the Woevre region in
the East. The general situation is unchanged.
GERMAN WAR OFFICE SAYS" LITTLE CHANGE.
United Press Dispatch.
Berlin, Oct. 1.—The war office says the situation shows little
change, the French reinforced, being unable to penetrate the
German lines at Muelhausen or carry the 'Vosges passes. The
Germans continue their efforts to occupy the Verdun-Toul line
of forts and gained by assaults in the center, despite French re
inforcements.
There is nothing decisive along the German right, the
French resuming their assaults. A long range bombardment of
Antwerp continues, with success, the garrison having lost heavi- j
ly in sorties from the city. ** J
The Galician and East Prussian campaigns continue success
ful and the Germans are advancing in Poland. ^
SIX MILLION ON EASTERN FRONT.
/United Press Dispatch* ■'
Vienna, Oct. 1.—Six million men are involved in the East
ern war operations. General Rennenkampf in command of a
million Russians, is resisting General Hindenberg’s attempt to
cross the Nieman River, between Drusskeniri and Grondo.
v Half a million Russians are in the Augustowo forest, bat
' tling with the Germans, protecting General Hindenberg’s rear.
Another million under Grand Duke Nicholas are preparing
to attack the fortified Germans on the Silesian frontier, battling
the Germans protecting lines to Gracow. Two columns contin
ue to move west toward Cracow and the Southern column took
Krosno after a desperate fight. Przemysl is still holding, and
the entire situation is satisfactory.
REPORTS DISEASE AMONG AUSTRIANS.
' Petrograd, Oct. 1.—The Russian-German battle continues in
the Suwalki district extending through territory West of the Ni
eman River. The Germans, though reinforced, have failed in
efforts to penetrate or cross the river, with heavy losses. Rain is
now retarding operations. There is little opposition to the two
westward columns advancing toward Cracow.
^ Disease is reported rampant among the Austrians, and all
captured supplies are burned. The Galicians are welcoming the
Russians. General Auffenberg, ex-minister of war of Austria,
has been removed because of his failure to hold Jaraslau.
