LONDON. Far. 6.-Haying. as Pet rograd claims, successfully countered the Austro-German attempts to out flank him in eastern Calicia. from East Prussia, Grand Duke Nicholas Russian commander-in-chief, is said to be thrusting agan at the center of the Teutonic allies in Poland. A few days ago the Russians are said to have gained a little ground on the 'Bzura and Rawka rivers. Yesterday reports mentioned a Russian attack near Skierniewice and today Vienna says the Muscovites made partial at on East Piotrkow This is about the point where it is said the German Austrian armies linked. and a sue cessful thrust would, according to mil itary observers, compel a general re- tirement in Central Poland and en- able the Russians 10 resume the of fensive against Cracow. From all accounts from Perograd which is at present the only source of informa- tion, the Austrians suffered a very severe defeat in eastern Galicia and now are in full retreat toward the Carpathians
 In the mountains to the westward fighting which has been continuous and intense for weeks. is still in prog ross Two armies are contending des perately for ridges The losses in these battles are declared to have
 been as serious as any in the war. but neither side conceded more than few yards of rocky slopes at time The Russians also have been attack ing along the Dunaiec in western Ga llicia. but apparently without making any impression upon the Austrian de- 1 lenses which are very strong on this Iriyer. In northern Poland the Rus sians are still tsriying to drive the Germans back to east Prussia and prevent them from entrenching in Russian territory as they have done south of the lower Vistula It is said
 at some points this driving is meeting
 with considerable success and that
 at places the Germans are actually
