PETROGRAD, Sep. 21

Three German army corps have been concentrated at a fortified position in the vicinity of Przemysl with orders to defend it "to the uttermost to enable the German forces gathering at Posen to arrange for a general forward

movement

It is officially stated that the Austrians endeavored to arrest the advance on the BaranofF-Ranishoff front, but were repulsed with great loss. The Russian siege guns bombarded Grostav, and a fight between the artillery has commenced at Przemysl.

The Russian fleet in the Baltic, aided by mines, is considered competent to frustrate any attempt against Finnish'port b cr Revel.

During the battle at Lemberg, the Austrians, after hoisting the white flag, treacherously shot down General Frolve, a hero of Port Arthur. The infuriated Russians then sabred them unsparingly.

The Gazette says that before peace is proclaimed Russia must secure the freedom of Slavs from the foreign yoke and end the nightmare of German militarism. This will involve the dissolution of the Hapsburg monarchy and the abolition of Prussian hegemony. Austria must be deprived of Galicia, which is Slav territory, and must also cede Trieste and Trent to Italy and Transylvania and part of Bukovina to Roumania.

ANTWERP, Sep. 21

The possibility of a siege of Antwerp still looms. The Germans are bringing siege guns with a range, of seventeen miles. Antwerp is provisioned for a year, and three thousand American cattle weekly have been arriving for six weeks.

ROME, Sep. 21. Wheat is increasingly scarce in Germany.
