The girl was quartered with a lady and gentlemen who were friends of the captain in Manchester and he said there could be absoluutely no doubt whatever that the Germans were gull- ty of this cruelty.

It is not known exactly how the troops were divided, but ltussia is believed to have 2,600,000 men he- tween the Nlemeu and Vistuln rivers in Russia. Germany 1,120,000 and Austria about 800,000 men. The magnitude of the Russian vic- tory in the main battle of Warsaw increases as the picture uui`oiils. lt will be several days before appro- ' ximately accurate figures of the Ger- man losses can be collected. Russians claim that there have been nearly '£00,000 in killed, wounded and miss- ng. Russians are still pursuing the northern army of invasion westward.

They are, however, still pushing on with all the forces at their command ami meeting with most stubborn resistance from French, British and Belgian troops. Losses on both sides continue in 'pro- portion to the fierceness of the battle, which means they are greater than those in any battle since war was declared. now nearly three months ago. Along the coast, where the Allies have the assistance of British and French warships, they apparently more than held their own, and after inflicting very heavy losses on Ger- mans, compelled them to try for open- ing farther inland. Up to yesterday the Allies have been forced to give way at some points, but to-day, accord- ing to French ofllciai communication, they succeeded in holding the position at every point, from the mouth of tho Yser to thc Lens district, and have again advanced between Ypros and Itoulers, where there has been some of the hardest lighting of the san- guinary battle, and where British- Indian troops have made their first appearance in the firing linc. The opposing forces are so strong it must be many days before a decisive result is attained by either side, despite the great losses which they suffered and which grow greater as report follows report. Along the old front, stretching from the River Oise to the Meusc, from which the Germans withdrew their best troops to strengthen the army attempting to advance along the coast, the French have been taking the offensive, and to the north of Soissons have been engaging in au artillery duel with the Germans, in which they destroyed several German batteries. They seem to have been playing this game for some time, for the last three reports from Paris have announced destruction of German guns. Farther east, the offensive tactics of the French have driven the Ger- mans, who were threatening Nancy, back across the frontier. The Ger- mans, however, are so strongly en- trenched along the long line that it is believed they are preparing to remain for the \vinter, holding their positions until the present objectives, the northern ports of France, have been attained. Very serious battles are also pro- ceeding in southern Poland and Galicia without decisive results. The Russians, however, have crossed the Vfstula, north of Ivangorrd, with it fresh army corps, which should have marked effect on the fortunes of battle. They appear to be breaking do\vn the resistance of thc Austrians south of Przemysl and throughout Galicia, where fighting of a most stubborn character has been going on for weeks.
