Petrograd, Sept. 2.-It is explained
here that by evacuating the fortress of
LUX, Gen. Svanoff's armies escaped
from the latest Austro-German plan to
cut off the Russians who are operating
in Galicia.
In falling back on the Dubno for,
tress, it is claimed that the Russians
took ten thousand prisoners. Half a
million Austro-Germans are attacking
the Slavs in this territory. 1t is ad
mitted that the complete evacuation
Of Galicia may become necessary ow
ing to the superiority of the enemy in
number of men and shells.
It is believed in some quarters that
the Austrian movement around the
LUX fortress is an attempt to reach
Kiey. However, the opinion of the
majority Of the military critics is thai
the enemy's next efforts win be direct
ed toward a concentrated drive or
