Show I WINTERWEATHER I TO SAVE RUSSIANS H Si I 3 .London, Aug. 30, 30:05 p. m. while tho reports from the eastern Hyj war theatre, embracing the region Hf from Courland to southeastern Gali- 'J cla, indicate that the Germans and J Austrians are still pressing the Rus- H q f sians hard in combat or tenaciously Hjj following them in retreat, military jjjj observers here are hoping that the H approaching equinoxial season "will M 'I limit the further forward movement H i of the Teutons and force them to be H ij content with the fruit of their past H ij successes, as the winter season falls i'i upon them. HlJ Resume Activities. Both Berlin and Vienna lay empha- sis on the statement that Field Mar- Fih shal von Hindenburg's forceB along H 'J the Drina river in Courland have re- H ij newed their activities, which -were Hlr brought to a sudden halt recently Hj 1 with the success of the Russians in m fl holding Riga as a menace to Von Hin- B ;l! denburg's rear. In southeastern Rus- i i sia, in the Brest-Litovsk region, the . m nil Austrians and Germans are chiefly K4 concerned in driving Grand Duke 1 J .Nicholas s army lurtner into tne Prip- rj( ct marshes, evidently with the pur- Ijj pose of repeating the early score of B. 'J! the Germans in the Mazurian lake B til region .of East Prussia. Kj . With the opening of the autumn 1 months, tho military observers are dl- Hjjlj rectlng attention to the fact that the jUj: Russian fall storms are due to begiu M !Jj: about October 21. They assert that H .11 they are the danger limit to military Nij operations in the eastern 'field. It m ijjj is recalled by some of these observ- M 1-1 crs that the autumnal equinox mark- -f cd the turning point in tho Napole- H Lrj onlc campaign. The first warning Bjllr was a slight snowfall, preceding the j equinox, but soon afterward heavy H 1 snows fell' and with them came dlsas- M M ter to Napoleon. Hj Desperate fighting continues in Hjj( tne Dardanelles in the vicinity of the H m Bpot where the British recently made H'1 their landing. The Turkish reports R ,i claim the re-capture by the Ottoman H M forces of allied trenches, with heavy Hh allied casualties. These claims, how- H tj ever, have not yet been conceded bv H Great Britain. H (J rn . |
