London, June 15.--A]tnouEh the
French would appear to be unreienting
in their offensive work, which is net
ting them slow progress in northwest
ern France, the situation in the eastern
arena of the war where the Austro-
Germans are stratning every nerve to
deliver a crushing blow to the Rus
slams, remains of the utmost import
lance. No confirmation has yet been re-
ceiyed of the report that the Austro-
Germans have reoccupied Zurawna, but
further to the south they are across the
River Dniester and on Russian soil in
Bessarabia.
Not for months past has there been
such general activity on the eastern
front. Checked at the center of the
Galician line the Austro-Germans have
developed an offensive On both wings
at the same time and they are starting
another battle in Poland to the north
of Przasnysz. There is confused fight
ing going on at the same time in the
Baltic provinces, so 1T may be said
that the contenders are at grips once
more from the Baltic to the Rumanian
frontier.
Russians Have Ammunition.
The stand which the Russians have
been making recently in Galicia indi-
Gates to British observers that their
shortage of ammunition has been over
come. It was this shortage, according
to the belief here, that enabled the
Austro-Germans last month to sweep
in such record time.

suit of an attack on the Russian posi-

Shift Scene of Attack.
The Germans baked in their efforts
to reach Lemberg from the south, have
commenced an attack upon the Rus
slams on the river San north of
Przemys1 and along the Dneister in
southeastern Galicia. n In their re-
port today claim to hav been success
full in both sectors.
The movement in the southeast re-
sembles that which failed further up
the Dneister at Zurawna, but is on a
wider scale. The right wing of the
Austro-German army is only 20 miles
from the Rumanian frontier, while it's
left wing reached as far as Halicz,
where many attacks have been de-
livered against a bridge head. The oan-
ter OF operations is Kolomea, from
which point the main attacks which
have carried the Teutonic allies across
the Dneister In several places are be-
ing launched.
simultaneously, the Germans are
proceeding with their attack on the
RUSSIAN center near RaWka, west Of
Warsaw. where they also have been
successful, according to their reports.
