A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR.

Thursday, June 3.-Vienna an
nounces the recapture of Permysl.
In brief, the situation may be defined
as the utter collapse of the Russian
offensive campaign, the reconquest of
Galicia and the almost complete as
cendancy of TeutOn arms in the east
ern zone of warfare.
There is little news from the west
ern front. The British are said to have
carried the Chateau HODGE, near lille Z
beke, in Flanders. Progress was made
by the French southeast of Melville,

report fighting in Flanders, near the
Village of HoOge, now held by the

German advantage. The struggle north
of Arras continues without change in
the front, except southeast of Melville,
where the French claim progress.
The Italian advance is slowing up.
Rome reports tell of stubborn Aus
trian resistance. The serious work is
just beginning
Saturday, June Sit seems evident
from today's dispatches that Germany
is preparing for an extraordinary Of
fensive effort east and west She is
following up her success at Permys1,
and the Russian forces are falling
back toward Lemberg, fighting rear
guard actions with desperate courage,
but sadly handicapped by lack of guns
and ammunition.
A new assault on the British front
at Ypres is under way, the part &C.
cupation of the Village of Hooge, lit
tie more than two miles east, being
the initial success in movement that
is expected to develop intensity and
scope. North of Arras the Germans
are repulsing French attacks and
, threaten to assume the offensive.

various points on their front, but
