RUSSIANS FORTIFY KRASNIK
HILLS AGAINST NEW ATTACK

northeast past Bychawa, which is II
miles from Lublin, and thence southeast
and east toward the Bug.
The week since Field Marshal Won
Mackensen was brought to stop has
been sufficient for him to bring up REIN
forcements and supplies. It is believed.
His closest railway support is at Razwa-
dow for his left and at Belzec for his
centre and right centre. From these
points men must march overland for
more than 30 miles, and their supplies Of
food and ammunition must be transported
by automobile or horse wagon over the
poorest of roads.
The battle, when the German com
mander orders 1t, will be fought on ground
selected by Grand Duke Nicholas. and
the attack will be made against positions
which the Russians have had ample time
to put In the best possible condition for
defense. In addition the blin-ChaIen
railway, directly at the back of the Rus
slams, provides for them an excellent me-
dium for the rapid transfer of troops
from point to point on the battle line
where weak spots appear.
The strategic situation, taken altogether,
is regarded as strongly favoring the Rus
slams, and London reviewers doubt the
ability of the Teutonic forces to make
any further progress from this direc-
ton In their enveloping movement on
Warsaw.

ALPINI TAKE MONTICELLO
IN BLINDING BLIZZARD

ROME, July 14.-At the capture of Mon
ticello the Italian Alpine troops, scaling
a summit, were caught at midnight in
hurricane of snow and wind, and, to save
themselves from being blown from the
face OF the mountain, tied themselves to-
gether and lay for three hours awaiting
a lull in the tempest. When 1t came
dawn they found the Austrians' position
hidden beneath mounds of snow and in
approaching them the men sank to their
waists.
The Austrians discovered the attackers
and opened fire. At that moment q fog
settled on the mountain. preventing the
Alpini from seeing half q dozen yards
ahead The situation was critical, as the
mountain path by which they would have
to retire was obliterated Orders were
given to gradually change the ground to-
ward which the Austrians were firing by
crawling under the shelter of The edge
of the snow-clad plateau.
While this was being done a llfe-and-
death struggle was fought by single Al
pinis with AustTians who had Ventured
from their trenches In the fog, hoping to
push the attackers back The Italians
were inferior in numbers. but by spread
ing out and firing from several points
they convinced the Austrians they were
in greater strength than they really
were.
For the two hours that the fight in
snow and fog continued the fate OF the
Alpini hung in the balance. They would
have been decimated but for the sacrifice
of two officers who held a superior force
in check until break in the fog dis
closed the Austrian trenches. These were
promptly attacked with the bayonet and
the Austrians were driven out SO quickly
that they did not have time to carry away
all their dead and wounded

LONDON, July H.
There is a strong feeling among mill
tary writer's here that the lull in the
storm in southern Poland will end In a
few days in a fresh and even more des-
perate effort by Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen to break through the Russian front
to the Lublin- Chain Railway. All the
evidence now indicates that both armies
are inactive for the time through sheer
exhaustion. After the Russians made
their remarkable stand north OF Krasnik
the middle of last week they pushed back
the Germanic allies a few miles and then
stopped The Austro- Germans made only
a passive defense and observers here be-
lieve that in the series of hard fights just
previous to the deadlock both the Rus
SLAMS and Austro-Germans used up all
their available ammunition.
Reports from ePtrograd yesterday said
Grand Duke Nicholas has taken up posi-
tlons on the hills north of Krasnik and
probably will wait for an enemy move,
These hills are a low, irregular chain,
extending almost in triangular shape
along the Wiznica and Urzendowa Rivers
to the Bystrzyca, which flows through
Lublin. To the west of Krasnik they are
about seven miles from the city. The
most reliable advices show that from that
point the opposing lines reach to the
