parent that the movement through Gal icla is the main offensive of the Rus- sian army. it developed today that Grand Duke Nicholas, the commander- in-chief, is with the forces there, who number more than one-million men.
’l‘he armies are proceeding along the
parallel lilies of `rVl\illlW83;lii1?V€}i;iE mil' idly westward. ti a o e sx Carpathian passes occupied by Russian troops and with strong forces on the
Hungarian plains jipst soutnbpf ghosts points, all danger o n. poss e an -
Aing movement has been avoided. (lon- ,sequently there is nothing now to re- tard the invasion.
CRACOW NOT OBJECTIVE. Cracow is not the objective of the
army. Neither will thc-.ro be any halt there to take the place by siege. In- stead a strong army will be left there,
‘similar to that now operating against |l‘rzemysl and the main Russian forces |wlll press on to the west with Bresluu and the forts of which it is the key as the main objective.
lt is understood here that the rein-
forcements brought from the main mobilization centres have been sent into Galicia to aid the movement there. The possession of all railroads in Galicia by the Russians has been of material benefit. When Jaroslav was taken there fell into the hands of the Russians thirty engines and one thou- sand cars of every description. At var- ious other polnts much other railroad equipment was secured.
GERMANS REALIZE DANGER.
It is apparent that the Germans real-
ize that the chief Russian movement is , through Galicia. Reports reaching here say that already strong German forces have been reported in the western part of Galicia and that they are frantic- ally fortifying along the main line north and south of Cracow. The lat- ter fortress also ls held by Germans exclusively, the Austrian garrison hav- ing been sent forward to join General Von Aui'fenburg's army. I The northern Russian column is moving much more rapidly than the southum one. This is believed here to indicate that they expect the Austrian retreat, when it comes, to be toward the south and the army DJOVIIIS Iii WM direction will be able to cut off their retreat.

GEFIMANS FIETIFIING.
The official statement of the Gen-

The A effort of the Germans to break through General Rennenkampf's army and des- troy it has been checked wiili heavy losses, The Germans are reported as having already begun to retire.
SUIAIAIIRY 0F THE SITUATION
The situation in the western battle-
field remains practically unchanged, the Allies said to be slowly advancing and the Germans stubbornly resisting. lu the East the Russians continue their advances, the Germans evacuat- ing Russian territory. There is no- thing to indicate that the Germans consider themselves seriously weak- ened, although they have evidently made up their minds that the fight is going to be 8. longer one than they had at first anticipated. They are no\v pushing forward with the utmost vigor their preparations for a winter 'Eam- paign.` Uutil recently, apparently, they had not conceived this an even- tuality. No fewer than 150,000 fur coats have been delivered, presum- ably for the use of oillcers, and 2,000,- 000 sheep and lamb skin coats have been bought by the government for winter garments for the men.

(Special to The Guardian)
BATTLE FRONT, Oct. 4.-Trench
after trench of the Gorman line fell into possession of the Allies yesterday after vigorous assaults carried home with determination combined with the newly-learned lesson of caution. 'i‘he Germans who had borne back the Al- lies' we-stern wings slightly on Friday, retained their advanced positions near Koyc until they bccamc untenable. They then fell back to new lines which had previously been prepared. The western wing of tho Allied armies was still further extended to-day and now reaclics within 30 miles ot' the Bel- gian frontier, carrying thc Allies' overlapping movements in a north- castcrly direction. Gorman reinforce- ments on this end of the line are very strong. These troops were probably brought fronrbodies ol’ German forces in Eschweiler in the rear of their ad- vanced entrcnchnients. Their cour- ageous dzishes to thc Allies’ front did not meet with success ami French and British were able to make them fall back on their deep trenches. The sight of the Allied infantry creeping across open spaces in front of the trenches in the brilliant sunshine which glittcred on their weapons was impressive. Everywhere the French and British soldiers seemed as though glued to the ground but yet their widely-extended lilies progressed al- ways forwurd. in only two or three instances did they encounter machine guns firc before reselling the German trenches. They found few Germans there to meet their bayoncts, the in- vaders having retired to another liiie only a few hundred yards back.
It is stated that the Germans also rc-
ceded on the eastern wing where for many days they have been going back continually. In that region of the great battlefield the famous French Alpine rlflemeu came in contact with the Ger- mans and inflicted considerable loss. In the centre 'there is comparative calm.

I A
LONDON, Oct. 3.- The battle oi’
the armies contending in it have spread far beyond the river, has been no decision has yet been reached. Re- ports comlng from Paris early in the week that the results of the Allioa operations were about to be at an 'end were premature. From all appearances there must be more hard fighting before either side gives way. Tho heaviest blows are being given and taken in the Western Area where, according to todays French official communication, an extremely violent battle continues, especially in the Roye District, where the Germans are centered in considerable force. The communication added that the action is extending more and moro Northward and that the fighting front now extends to the district south of Arran. This, apparently. was a. modest account of the north- ward advance of the French for private telegrams received in London tonight announced that the French ac- tually had reached Arran. Stubborn resistance is being offered by the Germans in the vicinity of Roye, whore earlier in the week they succe- eded in occupying the heights which, however, they were compelled to give
up.
Along the front, from the Olse to
the Meuseftivers. according to the French report, only partial opero- tiona have been attempted by either side. Frontal attacks' by Allies have. as a matter of fact. been discontinu- ed, while the flanks are lighting for ascendancy. On the Allies right the Germans have made another attempt
, _ . . » , .
the Aisne, as i t is called, although
to cross the Meusc at St. Michicl,
where they got across last week.
A German attempt to regain this
ground which had been abandoned when threatened on their flank by troops from Toul, was made yester- day. when they tried to throw a bridge across the river. Tho bridge however, according to n French rc- port, was destroyed during - thc night.
The Germans. who are supposed to
have had the assistance of heavy Austrian guns, apparently have failed in their first attempt to break the out~ er line of forts at Antwerp. Official roportn and statements by corres- pondents say none of the Belgian forts have been severely damaged, but German infantry attacks were re- pulsed with heavy losses to the at- tackers. The opinion prevalls hero that the Germans do not intend at present to make a serious attempt to besiego Antwerp, that the attempt they have made is with the purpose of keeping the Belgians within the fort- ress and stopping sorties, which were disconcerting to the Germans occupy- ing the rest of the country and occas- ionally dislocating their plans.
Again reports are ln circulation that
the Germans are making preparations to evacuate Belgian or, at any rate, that portion as far east as Brussels. lt is said their force at Brussels is packing up.
Still another rumor has it that the
Germans stall headquarters has been removed from Luxemburg to May- oace. A battle which promises to be the greatest and most important in the eastern campaign commences

.ARMY POSITIONS AFTER
THREE WEEKS FIGHTING
near ffracoiv, Galicia, where an Aus- tro-Gerinun Army, estimated to num- ber 800,000 men, is cntlcnvoring to check the Russian advaiicc. This combined Austro-German Army occu- pied a line just inside thc itusslnn Poland frontier, from Cracow through Czeustochowa Kaliz ami has had lots of time to prepare strong defen- sive positions. Both sidca are becom- ing reinforced. The Germans arc hurrying their reinforcements from Brczlau, Bavaria. All Bosnian itali- ways ure congested with German troops and wur material.
The German plan of invasion of
Russia from east Prussia. failed, ac- cording to Russia officials reports. These reports say the Germans got as far as the Western Bank of thc Nie- nion River, but found strong Russian forces on the Hills on the Eastern Bank. Being in low marshy ground Germans, according to the Russian viewpoint, were at a disadvantage and could not advance.
A fight is now in progress at Mira-
mpol, near the northeastern Prussian frontier, while further south in the Suwalki district, the Russians claim to have turned the Germans retreat into a disorderly flight.
More heavy lighting is taking place
at Augustowo, 140 miles northeast of Warsaw in the Province of Suwalkl, where the Germans rccoived reinfor- cements and have been able to take the offensive.

Starting from this premise, they proceed to obey the ‘heaveuly' vision, and mobilise their army. They drill incessantly. invent yet more deadly means of taking life. Increase their navy estimates year by year. Widen the Kiel canal. Build nu aerial fleet. Organise a perfect spy system throughout the world. Buy ‘up daily papers to increase so-called l ‘ German prestige! Burden her people with taxation almost to breaking-point. l'rt»pl\re their plans. and use every liumnn devise to make their grand unilcrtaking a success. Meanwhile
,they drink with glad exultatlon to Ville day '-that day when Germany ‘nlnill he mistress of the waves, when
every knee shall bow before the great and terrible ‘Nebuchadnezzarf
' " The Kiel canal was completed last
June. About thc same time the rest of their plans reached completion, and at the psychological moment a pretext wus found for making war on the nations. ‘Tile day' having arrived. thc sharp command, ‘Quick march! ' rings forlh, and amidst deafening cheers thc grant war machine is set in motion. On, on they march, to repeat thc his-tory of the seventies. To swccp down upon their enemies, as the great hordes of the north swept the Assyrian Empire. The 'Mailed Fist' is dots-rininud to sail over the whole of l-lurope, even though it be on u sen ol' blood. lt matters not who sufl`oi's, or \\'lmt sacrifice it costs, it will ride on to victory. (ln, on, on they go, ovcr woumloil and dying; cutting down nurses and doctors, blowing up . thc liospitnls, rnzing the stately towns :ind cziliiedrals to the ground. They know no mercy, but ride on over honour, justice, principles and prom- ises, drunk with the insatiable lust for power. They move on, never to stop ‘ -provcrliially speaking-Liuy or night, until the goal of their ambition is ultnlned. Thus the ‘Mailed Fist' inovcs on, to prove ‘might is riglit,' to overthrow liberty, freedom. brother- hood, und cstabl-ish the war god on thc throne of Europe, with its reign ol' tyranny. despotism and autocrucy. ‘All that we hold dear is impcrilled;..our ,. very national existence is at stake. The issues :ire momentous, und the rl.-.suit will determine the course of the \\~orld‘s history for the future. As an Empire we must. rise up to a mari. and declare vehemently by all the means in our power, that we will not have
this man to reign over us.
“Jesus Christ had an ideal; n vision
inspired of God, of world-wide con- quest. Not the conquest of land, but; the conquest of mon. He comes to win the world to Himself. He Comes to conquer by sacrifice and blood. But not the sacrifice oi' the lives of others. not by thc zdiozliliog of our life’s blood. but by liis own sacrifice and the shedding of His own precious blood. ‘They shall war with the Lamb, and ilie Lamb shall overthrow them, for llc is King of kings and Lord of. lords.‘ llis method of conquest is not by force of arms; not by the ‘Mailed l<‘lst,' but by the uplifted, outstretched. pierced hand-in :1 word, by love. The pierced hund is the utmost proof of llis love. From the Cross emanates all our liberty, our freedom, our civil- isation, our Cliristianity. Because He is our King, and we are His subjects, we stand for honour, justice and right, and rally round the standard of the
Cross.
“ The pierced hand is being attack-
ed. and an attempt is being made to dethrono that blessed hand of liberty. Should we resist such an attempt? llluny rlnim Christ taught uncondi- tionul non-resistance. »But we know where justice and right are jeopar- dised, where evil powers prove a. ms-na:-c io society, society must he snfcguzirdeil. and lic who wrongs our follow-man must he subdued und cou- quored. Pray therefore for victory, and do ull in your power to hasten the day when the kingdom of this world shall become the Kingdom of our Lord and liis Christ, and lie slmll rcign for ever. King of kings null l.oi'd of lords; when war shall be
no more."
