Armies Separated

Latest advices from Austrian head
quarters describing the Russian re-
tirement assert that the two Russian
armies, which for long period were
fighting with an unbroken front, have
been separated and cannot effect a
junction on the Galician side of the
Russian frontier. The Russian battery
commanders have been ordered to
save their guns at all costs. The in
fantry attacks to the north Of Arras,
France, have temporarily come to an
end, but there has been an artillery
borhood Of Souchez and Ecurie French
artillerists have located and opened
fire with their heavy batteries on a
German long range gun, which had
thrown 20 large shells into the town Of
Dunkirk in the past two days.

mentioned in dispatches from Field
Marshal Sir John French, commander
in-chief Of the British army on the
Continent, for ''gallantry and distin-
guished service in the field"
On the Gallipoi peninsula heavy
fighting has been in progress. On June
10 a desperate engagement occurred
along Turkish trench and later in
the British lines in which 1000 Turkish
dead were left on the ground, accord
ing to the British official statement.
Prior to this the Turks had thrown $50
high explosive shells on the left and
center trenches of the allies, had re-
pulsed British brigade and had pen
etrated the British lines. But a well
organized attack by British reinforce
ments turned the tide Of battle.
From the Italian front by way of
Berlin come reports of serious re-
verses suffered by the Italians in their
attempts to storm the Austrian posi-
tons along the Isonzo river. The
Austrians have powerfully fortified the
South Tyrol front and are said to be
prepared in every way for an Italian
attack along that line.
