SITUATION IMPROVED
HN DECISIVE VICTORY

Especial Cable to The-Tmes- Dispatch.1
PETROGRAD. June ll.--By the de-
cisive victory Of the Russians on the
Dniester the situation is improved It
is not likely that the enemy will be
able TO continue his original program
and transfer large bodies of troops
from this front to the west
The victory of Zurawna. as the battle
Is called from the little town which
formed the center of the enemy's posi-
ton. seems to have been the result OF
brilliant piece of strategy on the part
OF the Russians. who evidently lured
the enemy TO destruction
The object OF th. Germans and Ans
trians who crossed the Dnicster at this
point was probably. at the, outset. A
mere demonstration to cover the main
attack on the river line in the dis
trict of CGartsberg, to the west OF

little opposition the enemy pressed on,
and. dcployinS OH front of between
hiteen and twenty miles. reached the
i-e'nherg- Halicz railway at points as
distant as ten miles from the Dniester.
Meanwhile, the Russians have been
developing an encircling movement
against both of the enemy's flanks, and
this succeeded so fully that in the
course OF single day. he was hurled
back to the right bank of the Dnies-
ter with n loss of seventeen cannon,
NIFTY machine guns and nearly 1000
prisoners. The losses of the Germans
and Austrians in killed and wounded
have almost certainly been much more
numerous. and IL is assumed that the
corps VIII have to repair to the rear
to pull itself together, before II will
be OF much more use to the battle line
TAKE 1000 PRISONERS
IN OuNTERATTACSs
This active Russian victory does not
stand alone. On the portion Of the
pniester which lies north OF the scene
of this success and on the center OF
which Nikolaof is situated, they also
took eight machine guns. and more
than 1000 prisoners in counterattacks.
