their determination to relieve Prze- mysl and drive the Russians out of Galicia, the AustroGerman armies Which for some weeks have been on the Galician side of tha Carpathian mountalns, have during the last few days made repeated attemps to break through the Russian entrenchments but without success
 Since Sunday last, when in massed Formation tley threw themselves against Russian troops holding strong Positions, the Aus,ro-Germans have attacl1 again and again in spite of the heavy losses which this kind Of fighting entails.
 Yesterday. according to the Russian official account, the Austrians deliv- cred furious attacks between the San and Ordawa rivers only 10 be thrown back IS they were in their previous ef- forts, while the Germans made sever al truitless attempts around Kozio- uwka and Rojanka, at the latter point losing two companies, which were surrounded and anninilated
 Ne estimates have been published of the losses sustained by the Ger manic armies in their efforts 10 break through the Russian lines at these places but they are believed 10 have t,5n very large. as the Russian posi- tiOns were almost impregnable.
 Regarding the Austrians' attempt to Cultlank the Russians in eastern Cali cia, two Russian officials reports in succession have reported that the Austra'ns suffered a severe reverse arc that yesterday they lost in pris- oners alone more than six thousand men. The Russians captured also d number of guns and large quantity of transport material.

 So far as the west is concerned, the French offensive in the Champagne region continues to be the outstanding Feature of the campaign. The French troops have now reached the highest points on the ground north of Perthes and Beausejour and must be drawing near positions from which they will be able to shell the branch railway that runs to the rear Of the German lines and maintains communication between the German forces before Rheims and Verdun.
 There has been fighting at other points but none to compare in om- portance with that in Champagne.
 With the allied fleet again bonn barding the Dardanelles and the Rus sians pushing their offensive in the Caucasus, the far east is again com ing into the limelight. The Russians have scored distinct success by the capture of the Turkish port of khopa, on the Black sea, from whi h the Iur- kish army in the Caucasus drew part of it's supplies.
