Tuesday came the report that the German advance had been checked and that the Allies, outflanking their opponents, held the German right wing in a disadvantageous position. St. Petersburg also sent in further reports of Austrian reverses in their attempt to stem the tide of Russian invasion. Up to this time the Austrians have not a single victory to their credit and it appears that Germany must place her main de pendence upon her own forces in her death grapple with the warring nations of Europe. Wednesday confirmed the reports of German re verses published Tuesday and added details. The left wingof the Allies had taken the offensive, it was claimed, and the German right wing had been forced back ten miles, while to the southward the French center and right held firm. It was stated also that the number of wounded being brought into Paris from the French center indicated the progress of an engage ment there of more importance than any which has occurred up to this time.
