FALL OF LEMBERG
is INEVITABLE

Reports today state that the
Germans have taken Lemberg
and captured $4,000 Russian
prisoners.
With the heavy guns Of the Aus
tro.German allies turned on Lem
berg and within range, the fall of
the Galiclan capital is expected at
any time by Vienna and Berlin,
and with apparent resignation by
observers IN London and Petroprad.
More than two million Austrians
and Germans have been operating
along the front, almost enoiroline
Lemberg, aud with the Russian
withdrawal behind the Grodek line,
the evacuation Of Lemberg as base
was accomplished. That the evacu-
alton OF Lemberg without much re.
slstance Is probable is1ndicated by
Petrograd dispatches declaring that
such movement cannot be avoid
ek "without a sacrifice of men out
Of proportion to the strategic I'm
portance of the place." Latest adj
vices from Austrian headquarters
say the two Russian armies, which
for long period were fighting with
an unbroken front, have benn sepa-
rated and cannot effect a junction
on the GalIcian side Of the Russian
frontier. The Russian battery
commanders have been ordered to
save their guns at all costs.
Infantry attacks to the north of
Arras, France, have temporarily
ended, but there has been artillery
