(Received September 17, at 9.15 a.m.) Colonel Shumsky, in an article in the 'Bourse Gazette,' says: "Viewing tho general situation in all the th.ea.tros of war, it is fair to conclude that our successes on the Austrian front, also our. movement in East Prussia, are the, primary causes of the victories of the AngloFrench. The turning point of tho great battle of million* was when Russia hurled on the Austrian front every available man, checking the enemy, ai.d then assuming th« offensive." EAST PRUSSIAN INVASION. RUSSIA MAY POSTPONE IT. LONDON. September 16. (Received September 17. at 9 a.m.) The ' Morning Post's' Petrograd correspondent states that General Rennenkampf ordered an advance into Prussia regardless of losses in order to lelieve the pressure iu tho went. Now that the rapid diversion of German troops eastward had prevented disaster to the French armies, it would not be surprising if Russia evacuates East Prussia and prosecutes a more advantageous pL-wi elsewhere.
