LONDON. June 1.-THE American
note to Germany. which is considered
here firm. but pacific" divided the
interest OF the British public to-day
with the successful Russian counter
thrust against the Austro-German
lines in Cialicia.
When placards OF the evening news
papers announced the receipt of the
note. there was general rush for
copies. as the text had been anxiously
awaited. 1t arrived too late. however.
for comment in the evening editions.
The Russian success has caused
qualification and relief, and military
experts expect there will be a repeti-
ton in Galicia of what occurred in
Warsaw last winter, when the Ger
mans suffered enormous losses in their
efforts to break the Russian front. AS
on that occasion. Russian re-enforce-
ments arrived in time to force back

which had crossed the Dniester. near

The German and the Austrian official
reports do not mention the lighting in
this region, but from an account issued
IN PetroGrad. the Austro ro-Germans must
have suffered heavy reverses as thew
arc said to have lost seventeen guns

men express the belief that very few

Following the example of the Ital-

while the Montenegrins are making for
the port of Aiessio. still farther north.
For some time Albania has been over
run by bands which. it is alleged were
organized by Austrians and Turks to
harass Serbia, and. in fact. these bands
more than once have Invaded Serbian
territory. The opinion is generally eX-
pressed here that this occupancy will
possibly mean the end of Albanian in
teErity.
Heavy fighting continues along the
Italian frontier. particularly on the
River lsonZo, where the .Austrians are
making their most determined effort
to stem the Italian advance
