selves compose the situation, some
other means will be found by the

Russian Claim That Teuton
Advance Was Checked
Seems Premature.
ZEPPELINS DROP MANY BOMBS
Russians Eyacuate Polish City
South Of Warsaw, Is UnOf-
fetal Report.

London, June 2.-In the face of
Mondays Russian claims that the
Austro-German grip on Prxemysl
had been broken, and that the offen-
sive in the great Galician struggle
had passed to the Russians, come
both. German and Austrian official
statement asserting that the Austro-
German troops have been successful
to the north and southeast of the
fortress, that the forts girdling it to
the north have fallen into their hands,
while on the southeast they have
wrested Stry from the Russians.
In fact, the Acknowledgements say
that the campaign is running in their
favor everywhere in the eastern
zone, from Libau, in the north to
the southernmost tip of the Cali
clans battle line.
1t is apparent that the Russians,
since being forced back to the San,
have been rushing up heavy rein
forcements in the hope Of averting
the fall of Przemysl. But the Aus
tro.G Germans, undeterred by stupen-
dous losses, have as yet shown little
disposition to accept pu rely defen-
sive role, and the British critics
seem to have been a bit premature
in saying that the German thrust
had definitely failed.
No British official communication
was issued today. The F-ench con-
fine themselves, generally speaking.
to rocounting their Success at Ablian-
ISt. Nazaire.
The German official statement ig-
nores this, and tells of minor gains
elsewhere. 1t adds that the French
effort to break through the German
lines has failed.

critical questions of the day, and the
necessity Of character in the rising

tween the two States.
