Fight South Of Pripet Marshes.
To the south of the Pripet marches
another series Of battles is being
fought The Russians along the Styr
and Sereth rivers are making a sthb
born stand, and the Austro- -Hungarians,
in whose ranks there is a strong leav-
ening of Germans, are finding their
way eastward barred on most of the
ufront. They have. however. forced
crossing of the Sereth river at its
junction with the Dniester. so that
now a very narrow strip Of Galicfa re-
mains in Russian hands.
Finding it impossible to make head
way in their frontal attacks on the
positions covering the fortresses OF
Dubno and Rovno, which were bases
of the Russian armies for their advance
through Galicia, the Austrians are
making an attempt to turn these posi-
tions from the south, and claim that
Gen. Won Boehm- Ermolli has broken
through the Russian lines.
