BULLETIN.

BERLIN, Aug. 30.-(Via London)
German forces have made
further advance on the Russian
fortress OF Grodno, the only one of
their fortified positions near the Ger
man border which still remains in
their possession. Official announce
ment was made here today of the
capture of LApsk, In northern Poland,
about twenty miles to the west OF
Grando.
LONDON, Aug. S0.-Reports from
the eastern front indicating that the
Austrians and Germans are engaged
in an effort to clear the last corner
OF Galicia still held by the oppon-
ents, have excited great interest here.
The Russian lines on the upper
Bug and the zlota Lipa have
been pierced, but is not yet clear how
serious resistance is being offered
to the vast enveloping movement
from the south.
Having lost Brest-Idtovsk. Grand Duke
Nicholas cannot afford 20 hold the river
positions In the south In the face OF an
important movement. for TO do so would
endangcr his armies. The opinion is
ventured by some English critics that
this latest move may conclude for the
present the great offensive effort against
the Russians. which have been In pro-
gress since May. and that once Austrian
soil Is cleared OF the invaders a new
campaign may be undertaken by the
Teutonic forces. this time IN the near
east. In support Of this theory is cited
the report that the central powers are
massing troops near the Roumanian bor-
der.
The week end witnessed violent and
almost continuous activity on the part
OF the artillery OF the allies all the way
from the North Sea to the vosges. There
are no indlcatiopa- ,bnwevar. that this
exnendtvre Of big gun munitions Is boz
ing followed by infantry attacks.
London Is again awaiting official re-
ports from the British or French au-
thorltlcs concerning the campaign at the
Dardanelles, whore, according to Con-
stantlnople, heavy fighting is under way.
