RUSSIANS CHECK
GERMAN ADVANCE
THEIR OFFENSIVE MOVEMENT IN
THE WEST is POSTPONED
FOR THE PRESENT.
BUT THEY ARE CONFIDENT
Austrians Failed to Garry Point-kai
ser Rushing Men From Western to
Eastern Fronts-French Win
Out in Battle.

London, July 1.-THE check which
the Russians have imposed on Arch
duke Joseph Ferdinand's army in
southern Poland and the additional
strain which this has placed on the
German general, Won Mackensen's ar
my to the right, has postponed, it is
believed in military circles here, the
threatened German offensive in the
west, and there is now a possibility
that the allies will be the first to take
the offensive.
Attacks in Woevre Cease.
In support of this it is pointed out
that the attacks by the German crown
princes army in the oWevre, which
the German press announced was the
commencement of a German move
ment forward, has ceased and what
fighting is going on along the western
front consists of artillery engagements
and few isolated attacks and coun.
ter attacks by infantry, which make
little or no difference in the positions
of the opposing forces.
The British, according to the French
report, have repulsed a German at
tack. The German reports, however
allude to this as British attack and
Berlin says it was repulsed with con
siderable loss. In fact, the French
and German reports are generally con
Trajectory in respect to what fighting
has taken place, but from the trend
OF them it is evident that neither side
has attempted anything of decisive
nature and it is believed here that il
may be weeks yet before they do
Germans to Press on.
So far as the Germans are concern
ed, military observers assert they are
bound to carry out their offensive
against the Russians until there II
some decisive engagement, such as the
capture of the Lublin- Cholm railway
which. it is asserted, would have beer
in their hands before now If the Aus
TRANS advancing toward the city hat
not been driven back.
Reports from neutral sources arr
that to make good their efforts agains
the Russians the Germans are moving
troops which were intended for thu
western front to the east. To a Ger
tain extent this seems confirmed BY
the statement in the Russian officia
report that requirements have
reached Archduke Joseph Ferdinand
and that General Won Mackensen alsl
commenced an offensive which, how
ever, broke down under the Russian
| fire.
