bly Hail, last night. Though the at-
tendance was very light, there was

most favorable reports of all the oili-
cers, committee chairmen and heads
of the sub-committees. Complete satis-
faction was expressed by all of the

reports show, and numerous improve-
ments—civic, social and otherwise-—~

The Russians have rc-occupied Soidau, in East Prussia,
on the Polish frontier. It is stated that the Germans are

PARIS, Sept. 24, 2:55 p. m.—'l‘he allies have ad-
vanced considerably along their western wing; occupying

ing to the official aunounccn’icnt of the Fretted War Dc-

LONDON, Sept. 24. 10:22 a. m.-.'—;Vlrthaliy no new
information has reached London this morning concerning
the progress of events in the western war area, but from
the east comes news which here is taken to show that
Russia has almost completed the first stage of what may .
be considered in its entirety the most colossal operation
ever undertaken by a military power.
The fall of the Austrian fortress of Jarosiau virtually
completes the investment of Przcmysi, so far as lines of
communication are concerned.
pation of Cracow by Austrian and German forces has not
aided in that junction of Austrian and German armies
which is necessary to keep Russia from overturning Ga-
licia and pushing the armies of Austria back‘ to the ridge
of the Carpathians. By her conquests inTGalicia, Russia
now controls the greatest supply of gasoline in Europe.”

cause of her neeessity for motdr transport, .

wedge, 0AA the right line of which extends, roughly, from
Libau, on the Baltic along the railroad liueAI’, to Warsaw.

It piotccts the Russian sources of supply and prevents
any outfiankiug movement against the Russian; firmy of

saw, from which point railroads tap the rich and popu-
lous district extending to Odessa. The occupation of Ga—
'llcia links up the Warsaw railroad system, and is regard-
ed in London as insuring bothI supplies and reinforce—
ments for the attacking army. '
That the stage is virtually set for this attack isiindi— ‘
cated by the news that the Germans are liastily reinforc—
ing their line between Thorn and Kalisz, out latter point ~

The British public this morning is expressing elation
