(From our own Correspondent.) OTTA\VA, Sept. 2.-Customs re-
ceipts for the month of August, accord- ing to official figures obtained to-day. amounted to $8,330,604,04. This total is very slightly under that of August 1914, when the receipts showed the result of heavy cx~warchousiug of bonded liquors in anticipation of the tariff increase. Very large quantities of imported liquors it will be remem'-' bered, were taken out of bond in an effort to escape the heavier duties which it was expected would be lm- posed in the Finance Ministers War Budget. Even with this abnormal collection of duty on liquors the re- ceipts for August last year exceeded those of last month by only $53,202.50.

A shore boat. containing ‘hree stokcrs and two girls was upset »in the harbour off the dockyard at .about 8.15 p.m. The calls for help `were hoard at the dockyard, and a steam launch immediately, went to the rescue and a powerful searchlight from one of thc warships, was turned 'on the spot where the fivc were strug- gling for their lives. The rescue boat took two mon and the two girls from the water, but Stoker Walsh, who had supported one of the ladies until she was taken into the boat, `evi<lently used his last strength in the effort and disappeared beneath the surface.

Schmidt was arrested as he stepped from an excursion steamer to Bois Blanc island at five o'clock. As Schmidt was being ferried across tc Amherstburg, he placed his ha_nd in his pocket, and took out a letter which he quickly threw overboard. The movement. however, was not lost upon the officers, who stopped the boat and recovered the letter. it is written entirely in German addressed to a man with a German name in New York city, and is signed "Carl."

SITUATION
(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON. Sept. 2.-Except in the
region of Riga. where the Russians are presenting a solid l`ront to Field
Marshal Von Hindcuburg, the Austro- German olfensie is again making head-
way and as they have been doing fo four months the Russian troops have resumed their withdrawal movement. The Western forts of Grodno were
l'
evacuated after two of ihcm were de-
S strayed by.1ieavy.guns and stormed li
Y
German infantry and it is considered
,extremely likely that tht- whole for-
ress has already been left to its fate
A ~ . for it was no longer tenable after the
Germans had crossed the Grodno-Vii-
'na Railway which they did at two
points and had penetrated the fores of lileloviesp to the Southwest of the town. Vilna_ doubtless, will be next objective oi' the Austro-Germans on this front.
In the Southeast Vienna also rc-
ports a series of successes which have practically driven the Russians out of Galicia. They now hold only a very narrow trip between the River Sereth and Bessarabia across the border. in the latter province the .Austrians state the Russians set fire to a num- ber of villages which might indicate further retreat. Thus the hopes raised in allied countries by recent successes that the Russians at least were making a stand appear to hgvg
been rgssipated. Everywhere the Austro- ermans claim to be advanc- ing but they have not captured ot' late any Rrcat numbers of men or guns, Russian guns have been kept well be. hind the infantry and are quickly moved back when the rear guards are “H5010 1011361' to hold off the invaders.

Kiev but the distance tn that city is considerable and the country over which it would have to he made is dif- ficult for the movement of troops.
On the Western front the Germans
claim to have recovered trenches which they lost in the middle of Au- gust in the Vosges, while the French simply refer to heavy artillery nn. ilagnmcnts which have been a feature of the Inst nine days with no suglies- tion of what they foroshadow.
Increased activity at the Darria.
nelies is shown in all official roporis. Besides their success in capturing im- portant position east of Sulva Bay. which dominates one of the Turkish lines of communication. thc British have stink four more Turkish trans- ports in thc Straits. while thc ftro nf the ships ncross Gallipoli Prninsilln has nmdc tho movement oi’ ’I`urkish troops hy either land or sea more dif- ficult.

A despatch from Rome says that the Austrians have evacuated liovcreio which recent ital- ian arlvanres had threatened to out oft". An oillcial report from the snine capital claims rt number of silcccsscs for artillery and infantry at different fronts.
A Vionnn official comnnmlratlnn is-
sued to-day by the War Office says: “Pursuit of the Russians is progress ing well in tho district of Volhyuian, in the triangle oi’ foriresscs from liutsk upward. Our forces have crossed Slyr ltiver on n wide front. ln East Galicia the enemy is also retiring. The troops of General Volt Boehm Emhamolli entered Brody on tho railway about four miles from tho border of Russia and to-day are ad- vancing East from Brody across the frontier. Tho North wing of tho army of General Von llnthmor is pur- suing the defeated enemy on tho roads from Zeborow Zalosce and Tar- nopol. The enemy is retreating tow» ard Snrth ltlvcr. The army of Gen- ornl l’l`lnu7.or yesterday after heavy fighting, repulsed the enemy across the Lower Stripa.
