make such a stubborn stand, has fallen

south of Grodek, has been taken. and
the Austro- German forces are within
less than n days march OF Lemberg,

These claims were forecast In the
German official statement from Berlin,
which preceded that from Vienna. The
Berlin statement asserted that the
Grodek positions were being attacked,
the Russians in the north retreating
as far ms the Tanew line. The Aus
trians subsequently recorded the fall
OF Grodek, and claimed that the south
bank OF the Tanew had been cleared
OF Russians.

Galician situation from Petrograd said

CLAIM OF BERLIN PAPERS
DENIED BY BRITISH ADMIRALTY
The British admiralty has announced
officially that the German submarine
U-29, which was sunk in March. fell
victim to a British warship, the name
of which is not disclosed. The pre-
sumption of this tardy announcement
became apparent only when flood OF
Berlin editorials, in which 1t was stated
that the C-29 was sunk by Il merchant
ship, reached London. This being ac-
ccptcd in Germany as fact. II was
argued. editorially, that Germany could
not relax one whit her warfare against
merchantmen, which might ram and
destroy submarines seeking to search
them before firing torpedo. Al the

(via London. June 19).-Allied troops

condition and spirits. I'm spite of tho
fact that the allies arc using every con-

During the daytime both sides are

batteries are in position, but the near
ness OF the opposing trenches makes
their work difficult, and, for the most
part. they are directing their atten-

to changing shifts which arc exposed
