Austro- German advances in Cali
cia, although the investment Of
Peremysl by the allies still is
threatened.
Austrian forces have reached
the railroad between Lemberg
and Peremysl, at point eighteen
miles east of Peremysl.
On the 25th and 10th the Aus
tro-Germans attacked the entire
Russian front between the upper
Vistula and the left bank of the
San, and were driven back with
heavy losses, it is reported from
Petrograd. The Russians, fol
lowing a counter attack at Stry,
took prisoners.

an official Russian statement. Austro-
German attacks all along the line be-
tween the upper Vistula and the left
bank of the San are reported in Petro-
grad to have been repulsed with heavy
loss to the attackers.
A very stubborn battle Is said to be
continuing on both banks of the San
between Peremysl and the Lubaczowka
river, as well as between Peremsyl and
the great marshes Of the Dniester.
The Russians claim to have inflicted
enormous losses upon their antagonists
on the 25th on the entire front from
the Dniester marshes to Dolina. The
capture is claimed of many prisoners

There appear new signs of widening
German activity on the long fighting
line from the Baltic southwark. This
front runs east of the East and the
West Prussian borders. bends eastward
to within thirty miles Of Warsaw and
passes on into southern Poland. Pre-
liminary operations are now under way
along this line, over which were fought
during the fall and winter some of the

The most important of these opera
tions are the resumption in a determin-
