mans have been eentered since the

Mosciska lies about 20 miles east Of
Przemysl and is almost in direct
line with the Galician capital against
which all the energies of Gen. Won
Mackenzen, the German commander,
are being directed An unofficial re-
port says that Won Maekenzen has tel
egraphed the German emperor that
he hopes To occupy Lemberg by july

view, there are still many obstacles in
the way of~ victory To me kustfo-Ge

the advantage of natural defenses Of

chain of lakes and marches.

fighting is In progress, and the AUS

and German official communications |
but these reports are somewhat at |
variance. Berlin asserts that between |
LEVIN and Arras an attack In close |
formation by the French was put !
down with heavy losses, while Paris |
declares that in sectors OF Lorette and |
Melville the German infantry attacks
We're repulsed, and that 10 the north |
of Neuvllle several German lookout
posts were captured.

that In Champagne tho French are
the aggressors, but that they have
been unable to gain any advantage.
