Claim from Petrograd COntradicted

ture of Stanislau.
FRENCH ADVANCING SLOWLY

LONDON, June 10.--Careful read
ing between the lines of the various
official announcements Of the last
twelve hours leads British observers
of the situation on the continent to
the belief that the wearied Russians
have been successful in gaining a
breathing space along the eastern
front. Furthermore, evidence of the
stubborn opposition which abe Aus
tro-Germans are said to be meeting
near the center of the line in Galicia
is declared here to exist in the state
ment from Petrograd that 1000
Austro-German prisoners have been
taken in a series of counter attacks
near Rrzemysl.
According to Russian reports the
Austro-German offensive In southeast
Galicia has not been able to cross the
river Dneister at any point other than
zurawna, which is forty miles from
Lemberg and which they reached last
Sunday
Berlin contradicts this with the state
ment that the right wing of the army
under General Linsingen has advanced
ten miles further and occupied Stanis-
lau. an important railroad center.
French Advance slowly.
In the west the French make their
usual report of slow progress, accom-
panied by the repulse Of German counter
attacks The French claim and Berlin
in no-
cupation of the entire village of Neu-
vile ST. Vast while only fraction Of
''The Labrynth" is left in German hands.
From other portions of the French front
come reports Of minor advances.
According to Vienna the efforts Of the
Italians to cross the river Is9nzo near
Corizia have been repulsed after a
serious engagement. II would appear
evident that the Italians have met the
first difficult problem OF their, invasion
of Austria in their endeavor to cross the
Isonzo, although they claim to have a
foothoId at some places on both banks.
