ate SortieS at PrzemySI.

PETROGRAD, Jan. 1.-THE Aus
trlan armies in Galicia are panic
stricken, and whole regiments are lay
ing down their arms and surrender
ing TO the Russians. Dispatches from
Lemberg state that the resistance of
the Austrians as an organized body
has completely collapsed and that the
troops of the dual monarchy are Of
fering an effective defensive only at
isolated points.
The garrison at Przemysl is making
daily attempts TO smash the iron ring
that Russia has made around the
stronghold. From the desperation of
these attacks upon tho forces besieg-
ing Przemysl it is believed that the
larger part of the garrison consists
of German troops. The garrison has
lost heavily in its latest sorties and
it is believed here that Przemysl will
soon be compelled TO fall.
The situation in Poland shows no
indication of an immediate break in
the deadlock that has developed with
the trenches Of the Germans and Rus
slams only a few yards from each
other. The Germans are being Steadi-
ly repuised i'm isolated attacks along
the Bzura and along the Pilicia. The
official Russian reports make no
claims OF gains for the cZar's troops,
but claim that their positions are be-
ing maintained despite attacks by the
Germans both by night and by day.
Along the Pawka river the conditions
have not yet reached those of a siege
such as prevail on other portions OF
the front Both sides are fighting for
the possession of the town of Rawa
and the heights upon which it stands.
North Of the Nistula the situation is
developing. ON Saturday a small
Germa- force crossed the Nistula near
Plock attempting to effect a junction
with the Germans who have advanced
toward Mlawa The Russians at Plock
turned back the Germans, however,
and the attempt at a junction proved
abOrtiVe.
