PETROGRAD. May 2S.-The Aus

feated in their attempt to surround
Przemysl by a grand assault. Official
dispatches today reported a lessening
of the violent artillery attack launch
ed by General Mackensen in his at
tempt to reach the Przemysl-Lemberg
railway. Az no point on the east bank
Of the San is the enemy within twen-
ty miles of the Russian line Of com
munication.
Mackensen planned to pierce Rus
sian right wing by battering artillery
and infantry attack and then TO seize
the railway. For twenty-four hours
the enemy's artillery poured tor
rent of fire against the Russians be-
tween Jaroslau and Przemysl. At the
same time German force that cross
ed the San above Jaroslau recrossed
the River Lubaczovka and struck at
the Russian flank.
Between Przemysl and Jaroslau,
the chief danger point, the Siavs
have checked the enemy. There is
marked diminution in the force Of
the Austro-German onslaught. On
the east bank of the San in the
neighborhood of Jaroslau, fierce
fighting continues. But the enemy's
left wing is no longer advancing and
the threat against the railway is be-
lioved to have been definitely re-
moved.

SWEDISH COPPER
IMPORTS LARGER

London. january 6.--(S:es p. m.)
The Swedish legation issued state
ment today purporting to show an in
crease of 4T94.623 pounds in copper
imports to Sweden in 1914 over 1915.
1t points out however. that of this In
crease 1.s79,53i pounds were imported
since the war started This was due
to growing domestic consumption. to
which the identification of the state
railways and the needs or the army
largely contributed.
The statement says the much talked
Of increase In copper importations
from the United States can be attrib-
uted to the fact that no copper Is OBJ
tainable from Germany now. With the
export of copper from Great Britain
virtually prohibited, only the United
States is left to supply Sweden with
the metal
The statement also says that in re-
cent years Sweden's copper Importation
has been increasing steadily ut the rate
of about 90 per cent yearly
