however, the rear guards Of the Gar 8
troops having repulsed several attacks
made by the pursuing Teutons.
Hard fighting between Russians retreat
ing from the Dniester and the German
army and command Of General Won Lin
singen has resulted in tremendous losses
for the Germans, according TO the latest
reports from Grand Duke Nicholas, the
Russian commander-in-chief.
His report follows;
''1n the Shawl region weak German at
tacks were repulsed.
There is n lull on the Nlemen, Narew
and left bank of the Vlstula.
"rhe advance of great enemy forces on
the frcat between the sources of the
River Vieprz and west of the Bug in the
Lublin Government continues. Our rear
guard positions, in the Tomaszow region
on Sunday and Monday repulsed several
German attacks.
THE hostile army on the Dniester
front, reinforced by fresh German troops
quite recently brought into this region,
sought with most desperate attacks from
the Bukaszowlce Martlnow front to
throw into confusion our retirement to-
ward the Gnila Lipa River, but failed,
suffering enormous losses"
Though the Russian armies are re-
treating before the Austro-German ad-
vance. their line is still intact The
further the Germanc forces move from
their bases the more difficulty they will
have in maintaining communications, and
their advance will necessarily become
slower.
The fear that they will be enabled to
withdraw part of their strength to re-
sist the Allies on the Western front would
seem TO be groundless, for the pursuit by
the Germans is such that, IL relaxed, the
Russians, reinforced, Will again over
whelm Galcia.
All the Russian army is out of Galicia
except in the extreme eastern part around
Brody and Tarnopol. The line OF the
Guila Lipa has been abandoned and the
Russians are Withdrawing from the upper
Bug River This withdrawal has been
conducted with wonderful strategy along
a front Of 25O miles without losing touch
in any part, fighting a stubborn rear
guard action all the time and taking an
enormous number of prisoners. which, ac-
cording to an Austrian estimate amounts
TO 10000 men, in the counter-attacks
around Lemberg alone since June %.
Military experts here say this reflects the
greater credit on the ability OF the Grand
Duke Nicholas and the other Russian
Ncommanders.

are pressing forward occupying positions
Of vantage; important preliminary fight
Ing is occurring almost daily, but Italy
is not yet ready to launch her great
smash to win back Trentino and Trieste.
The man who leads the italian armies
has the satisfaction or knowing that

Emmanuel is continuing his tour of the
battle line; Premier Salandra is showing
the greatest interest in the conduct or
the campaign and other administrative
heads are planning trips to the front.

MEN FROM UNITED STATES.
The italian army quartered here is COM
posed OF the biggest men physically I
have seen in any army Through many
of the regiments are distributed Italians
from America, CHEEKY fellows, with love
OF fighting. One of them waved his hand
at me and yelled: "Oh, you kid"
Correspondents are absolutely barred
from general headquarters. offlcials told
NIT to arrest. General Cadorna's secre-
tary put 1t little differently.
IF you stay here you run the risk Of
being shot" he said-then smlingly-"the
italian army won't be ready for corre-
sDondents for months"
There has been no delay in moving the
italian armies to the front. Mobilization
went forward with clock-like precision.
Italian troops marched over the frontier
and seized points of strategic imDortance
within fortnight after the declaration
of war But General Cadorna is deter
mined that when the Italian offensive
starts rolling down upon Austria, every
thing shall be in readiness. Italy is not
going off half-cocked"
The italian losses in the preliminary
