Cars Troops Hurry to
Make Another Stand
Along River Bug.
MEET HEAVY LOSSES
Retreating Forces Attack at
Kamionka and Are Severely
Repulsed.

London, June 29.-Ths Teutonic Al
lies In their advance over the Galician
border into Russian Poland have capt
ured the important town Of Tomaszow,
fifty miles northwest OF Lemberg, ae-
cording to an Austrian official state
ment received here tonight. Tho
statement also says that strong Rus
sian forces north Of Kamionka, on the
River Bug. twenty-five miles northeast
Of Lemburg, were repulsed with great
loss last night after heavy fighting.
Further south the Russians, driven
back across the River Gnila Lipa, also
to retreat before the Austro-
Germans.
The retiring movement now Is In
progress along a front Of approx
mately $50 miles, about equal to the
distance between Arras and the vosges
on the western battle front.
Fight East of Gnila Upa.
The Berlin official communication re-
cords progress by the Teutonic troops
in virtually the entire southeastern
theatre, although violent lighting 10
still in progress beyond the Gnila Lipa,
which joins the Duiester at Halicz.
Having forced passage Of this
stream, General Won Linsingen's army
is presumably astride the railway
running from Halics to Lemberg and
Stanislau, and now doubtless Is aim
ing at the line which runs from Lem
berg to Odessa through Tarnopol.
1t seems evident that Germany Is
bent on further punishment for the
Russians before relaxing the intensity
of her Galician campaign. but, with
the Russians across the frontier, the
Germans will have to rely almost SOLE
ly on road transport and their advance
will necessarily be slower.
London Apprehensive.
The British press Is still voicing
the hope that the Russians will soon
find a tenable line and deliver a
counter blow, but here is q note Of
anxiety In nearly all the accounts, to-
gether with the warning that either
the capture Of Warsaw or the seizure
of the great railway lines which supply
it would be disastrous to Russia and
would surely be followed by another
general German offensive In the West.
However, the Russian armies are
neither beaten nor downhearted, ac-
cording to the correspondent OF The
Times" in reviewing the six weeks Teu-
tonic advance, after a visit 70 Russian
headquarters. General Ivanoff, COM
mander of the southern armies, shows
no trace of dependency. Discussing
the present situation the correspondent
says:
"The view Is held here that their
capture of Lemberg and other Gslician
successes have brought the Austro-
Germans no nearer a solution OF the
war. In spite Of their enormous
losses. which are estimated at $4,000
Germans and probably an equal num-
Der OF Austrians, they still encounter
the same stubborn army as before
years il necessary. The Germans must
continue pouring in fresh troops in
order to hold their positions, for IL

trian defensive will collapse.
Want No Trench War.
"The Russian point of view is that
they can retreat and advance again In
definitely. caring little for the moral
effect Of the loss OF towns as long as
they are constantly weakening their
adversaries and preventing trench
deadlock such as exists on the western
and Warsaw fronts
The Austrian official communique
telling of the capture of Tomaszow
says:
ain East Galicia the Teutonic allied
armies, pursuing the enemy, reached
the Gnila Lipa River and the Bug River
near Kamionka. The Russian troops
on this line are now being attacked.
On Monday we captured Burstyn.
"Strong hostile forces standing near
Sielec, north of Kamionka, were last
night, after heavy fighting and with
great loss, repulsed 70 Krystisnpol.
