London.-The Russian grip on the
scattered Austrian forces in Gallcla
| is holding relentlassly. According to
Petrograd advices, the fortress of ia
roslau is being bombarded; Przemsyl
has been invested and General Dankls
army, which is retr6ating toward Cra'
COW, has been surrounded. The cap.
ture of the town of Dubiecko, on the
San, by the Russians, has cut
Przemsyl off from the western ar
mics, so that it must now rely for de-
tense upon the Austrian and German
army corps which are there.
General Dankl is believed to be in
a difficult position. Driven out OF
South Poland and separated from the
main body of the Austrian army, he
has been compelled to make race
for Cracow, in which he was, accord
ing to Russian accounts, beaten by
the Russian army coming southwark
from the Vistula to Baranow.
The Russians now are so sure of
Galicia that they are organizing 4
civil government for that region, as
well as for Bukowina, the Austrian
crown land, where they are complete
masters.
The Germans have retaliated to
some extent by penetrating the ter.
ritory Of Suwalki, in Russian Poland,
and farther to the north. But the Rus.
slams are contenting themselves with
defending their fortresses until their
work is completed.
