cia. In which the forces OF Russia
are pitted against those of Austria
which had crossed the Dniester at
Zurawna having been driven back.
and the Russians in eastern Galicla
and Bukowina also having been
forced to withdraw TO the river. the
two armies now face one another
across the wide and crooked stream,
each making thrusts In an effort TO
gain the initiative for an offensive.
The Austrians In their official re-
port claim to have succeeded IN
crossing the river to the east of Ho-
rodenka, a movement which. in view
of their recent experience near Zu-
rawna, might prove dangerous.
Lemberg j. Objective.
The Austro-GermahR, however
still have Lemberg as their objective
and they are not likely TO allow any
reyerses they have suffered near Zu
rawnn and east OF Przemysl 70 put
them off. so that fighting as severe
as any witnessed In recent weeks
may be expected during the next
few DAYS
Heavy lighting also continues in the
Baltic provinces and on the east
Prussian frontier. in which both sides
claim advantages. With the vlew.
doubtless Of preventing the Russians
from sending reinforcements to either
OF their wings. the Germans yester-
day delivered an attack along the
Rawka river. between Bolimow and
zochazew. the scene of important
battles last winter wnen the Ger
mans tried to reach Warsaw by tho
direct route from the west. In yes
terday's attack the Germans claim
to have broken into the Russian po-
sition and to have taken 5000 prIs-
oners,
Fighting In West Zone.
AT various points between Rheims
and north of Arras, the French con-
tinue their attacks. which they report
to have been successful, hut which
the Germans, on the other hand, i'm
variably state, have been repulsed.
Although no big forward move
ment has been made the fighting ~
almost continuous along the line from
the sea to Champagne and In tho
Woevrs. The British and Belgians
although they are not doing much att
taeking are playing an important
role in these operations, for to them
falls the task of holding large Ger
man forces on their front by threat
ening an offensive and thus prevent
ing the Germans from sending relief
to those troops which the French are
assailng.
Italians Score Again.
The Italians have scored another
SUCCESS on the isonzo river. by the
capture Of The town of Gradisca, and
Il is reported that they are carrying
out strong offensive all along tho
river as far up as Tolmino, whick
they are endeavoring to outflank.
Unofficial reports state that the
allles are making steady progress on
the Gallipoli peninsula. but no de-
tails are given ana official confirma-
