The War At a Glance

1.-THE left bank OF the river
Dneister has been entirely
cleared Of the Teutonic
troops, who forced their way across
at two points early this week, ac-
cording to latest Russian official
statements, but the AustrO-German
forces are making desperate efforts
to effect a passage elsewhere.
Bridging operations were begun
by the Germans and Austrians
south Of Bukas-ZOwice on the very
night the remnants Of the detach-
ments which had previously crossed
in the Kozany district and near
Martynoffstany were being driven
back in the former and captured
in the latter region, the Russians
report.
The battle is still raging at the
contact point
Teuf0ns Are Checked
Nearly everywhere else along the
eastern front the drive Of the Teu-
tonic allies has been at least tempo
rarfly checked, according to the
Russians. Their report mentions
officially a breaking up OF the Ger
man offensive west OF the river
Niemen in the Orzyc and Omulew
valleys and on the Vistula south

force OF the German drive in the
Orzyc region is indicated. howev-
er, the Russians reporting that they
were forced to give way before an
Initiating artillery fire No impOr-
tant change is reported east Of
Lemberg.
Another Drive At warsaw
Military observers venture no
more than vague speculation as TO
whether another TeutOnic drive at
Warsaw or renewed activity on a
huge scale by the Germans in Elan
ders is impending.
Progress is being made along the
Isonzo, according to the italian
statement
Another Turkish Success

the Dardanelles is a report by the
Turkish war office that on June %
a Turkish patrol destroyed a party
Of the allies and Captured arms and

Their progress has been checked in
places by the conditions of the
