Mosciska, on the line of the railway
between Przemysl and Lemberg, upon
which the efforts of the Austro-Ge
mans have been centered since the fall
of Przemysl, has been captured.
Mosciska lies about twenty miles east
of Przemysl and is in an almost direct
line with the Galician capital, against
which all the energies of General Won
Mackenzen, the German commander
are being directed. An unofficial re-
port says that Won Mackenzen has
lelegraphed the German emperor that
he hopes to occupy Len1berg by July
l.
Lemberq Has Natural Defenses.
But notwithstanding this optimistic
view there are still many obstacles in
the way of victory to the Austro-
German arms in this section of Cali
cia- for the Russians hold strongly
fortified positions many miles in front
of LenIberg and will, in addition, have
the advantage of natural defenses of
the country roundabout, including
chain of lakes and marshes.
All along the Galician front heavy
fighting is in progress and the Aus
ro-Germans, according to their re-
ports, are still gaining ground every
where with the capture of Russian po-
Eitions and men and equipment
Heavy Fighting in France.
Indications that heavy fighting is
continuing in the region about Arras
are obtained from both the French
and German official communications,
but these reports are somewhat at
variance. Berlin asserts that between
LEVIN and Arras an attack in close
formation by the French was put
down with heavy losses while Paris
declares that in the sectors of Lorette
and Neuville German infantry attacks
were repulsed and that to the north Of
NeuvilIe several German lookout posts
were captured.
An admission is made by Berlin that
the Germans have been unsuccessful
In their attempts to retake trenches
recently lost by them northwest of
Morlin- n-Sous-Toutvent and that in
Champagne the French are the ag-
gressors, but that they have been I'M
hble to gain any advantages.
French AeropInes Bombard Karlsruhe.
A fleet of French aeroplanes has
bombarded Karlsruhe, capital of the
Grand Duchy of Baden, and in order
to do this made the longest air voyage
More than hundred bombs and shells
were dropped on various points. These
started fires and caused serious
panic at the railway station. Twen-
ty-one of the twenty-three aviators
returned to their base.
What Italians Are Doing.

EdTldn troops nave Deen sent from

Fa-Rovereto front. The Austrians re-
port that the Italian attempts to ap-
proach Tolmino and PLAYA have failed.

neighborhood of Gorilla (Gortz) and

sa1ties numbered about 5000, almost
Equally divided.
Allies Gain on GaIIipoIi Peninsula.
On the GallipoH peninsula the
French are making slow but steady
progress. 1t is asserted by the British
war office that the Turkish offense
hase weakened and that the general
situation favors the allies. Neverthe-
less lengthy operations are expected
on account of the difficulties of the
ground.
