New Blow at Polish Capital Is

English Public Now Convinced

London, June % (9:J0 p. m.l--The
Russians are again retreatlng i'm Ga
licia both north aud south of Lem
berg and in Poland the Germans have
launched another attack against War
saw in the form of drive from the
north Of Przeasnysz.
The new blow at the Polish capital
has been preceded by terrific artil-
lery action The fact is recorded by
the Russians themselves, but it is too
early to say whether il means a seri-
Gus offensive, the first clash having
developed n bayonet encounter the re-
suit of which neither side records.
Berlin ana Vienna do not make ref
erence to the conflict in this region,
combining their statements to the Ga
lician situation, where victories are
claimed in various sections, from the
Bessarabian frontier to Rawa Ruska,
north of Lemberg.
TcutOns Cross Dnicster.
What is more important the Ger
mans claim that the Teutonie forces
have crossed the Dniester northwest
OF Halicz and have driven the Rus
slams some miles into the hills.
Not since the war began has the
English public been so convinced that
it will be a long one. Those who took
this view months ago were called
pessimists, but now it generally is ad-
mitted that the Russian armies must
fight for months to come, under tre-
mendous disadvantages, and that in
the meantime the much-heralded big
general movement on the western
front must be indefinitely postponed,
while the entente powers thoroughly
re3rgan!ze their methods.
Strain for Ammunition.
While the campaign for munitions
in England is at its height it must be
assumed that Germany is straining
every fiber 10 the same end and calls
ing into play her inventive skill, so az
to increase the deadly mechanisms of
war to offset the inevitable and terri
BILE drain on her men.
The present consensus of opinion
among military writers in London is
that Germany intends further to press
her eastern victories with another
battering- stroke toward Warsaw
in an endeavor to seize that city ana
the whole line OF the Vistula.
The line Of offensive now directed
from the Przasnycz region is along the
valley of the Omulew and Orzyc, trib-
utaries of the river Narew, which
flows across north Poland and joins
the bend Of the Nistula above War
saw.
