Desperate Fighting Reported.
Petrograd, May 5-Desperate fight
ing with Russian successes at most
points is reported on the battle line
that extends from Courland to the
southern side of the Carpathians.
The Germans is is admitted have
succeeded in forcing a passage of
the Donajec river in Galicia but they
have been held in their new position
three days and subjected to heavy
losses.
The fighting along the line from
the Vistula to the Carpathians in
Galicia has been of the see-saw va
riety, first one side and then the
other gaining.
The Germans have been strongly
reinforced with artillery. Despite
this it is claimed that only a few
Russian trenches have been cap
tured.
In the region between Tuchow and
Biecz the Austrian forces have been
almost entirely replaced by Germans.
Here the fighting has passed and re-
