TAKING OF CITY
 GREATEST WAR FEAT
Thousands of Prisoners and En0r. nous Quantity of Military Supplies Fall Into Hands of Successful Re-
 siegers When Przemysl Falls.

London, June 3.-PfZemys' mas been retaken by the Austro-German armies, ten weeks after it's capture by the Russians.
 Huge numbers of neli and an enOT nous quantity of military supplies have fallen into the hands of the viz tors.
 @., Converging Teutonic armies are ad- vancing on Lemburg, the routed Rus sians in full retreat before them.
 Sweeping from the south. the le- gions of Linsingen, the Teuton com mander, are gaining fresh successes on the sector north of Stryjc, and are smashing forward to add their num- bers to the work of clearing Galicia of the Russians.
 Hoping to catch the Russians off their watch and pierce their line, which is believed to have been weak ened for the defense of Przemysl and Lemburg, the Germans are hurling thousands at the BzuraRawka front. in an effort to hew through to War saw.
 Massive guns against which the Rus sians with their weak artillery were unable to combat, explains the re-cap- ture of the great fortress of Przemysl after a siege of twenty days. When in March the stronghold capitulated to an army of 100000. Russians, it was after siege of six months and only when the garrison were eating their bootstraps, the iron ring of Rus sians having cut off all supplies. The Austrians entered Przemysl at 3:3O o'clock this morning. after a hamering with heavy guns that lasted more than 20 days.
 Remarkable Feat of War.
 The retaking of PrZemysl IS char acterized by British observers as one of the most remarkable feats of the war Immediately after the surren- der of the Austrian garrison the Rus sians began western rush through Galicia and it was predicted that they would soon overrun both Silesia and the plains of Hungary.
 A terrific Austro-German offensive was inaugurated, however. the result of which was to drive the Russians back to the San and to enable the Teutonic allies to encircle Przemysl and attack it from the north and the southeast.
 The strength of the Russian garri- son within the fortress has not been known in London.
 When Przemysl fell into the hands of the Russians it had undergone siege lasting POI days. The Austrian garrison originally consisted of l7O.- 900 men. of whom 40,O00 were killed. About 12OOOO Austrians surrendered when the fortress capitulated. These included 2,6O2 officers and 117,OOO men.
 Another feature of the fighting on the eastern frontier is the new at- tack on Warsaw. Neither Russian nor the British newspapers are able to say whether the nenewed batter ing of the Russian line between the Pilica and the Vistula is a serious effort to break through to the Polish capital or a move timed to prevent the Russians from rushing endorsements to their hard-pressed troops in Ga- licia. But whatever motive, the as- sault has been violent and in force along a front of about 25 miles. the hardest pressure being brought to bear on the Russians along the Bzura and the Rawka rivers.
 Today is the fiftieth anniversary or the birth of King George, but because of the war no especial celebrations are being held.
