 WYNN FROM
 RUSSIANS

LONDON, June f5.-WhiIe 1t lc ad- mItted that the Austro-eerman forces have won victory in ealicla, the ex- tent of 1t is in great doubt here on account Of the conflicting reports. While Berlin and Vienna assert that the whole Russian line over a 43-mile front north and east of PrzemysI was broken, it is officially stated at Petro- grad chat the Russans recaptured on Sunday almost all of the advanced German trenches north of Przemysl which were lost on Saturday, and that they still are held.
 This conflict in the reporte has lead to the belief here that the Ser. lin and Vienna reports are based uP- on the operations of Saturday which have been counteracted by subsequent Russian victories.
 Petroerad admits that there have been successes for the German forces farther south in the region of the Wis- znla river, though the extent of the Russian defeat is lot known, and therefore believed not to be irrepara. ble.
 The German reports of the fighting north and east of PrzemysI claim that they captured f6,ooo Russian prlson- CTS.
