ard the San sector and Dynow and
Sanok Russian counter attacks

sued. The number of prisoners and
the quantity of booty taken by us in,
creases daily.
In Southeast Galicia the Russians
in several sectors have begun an at
tack. An advance of strong forces
north of the Pruth toward Czerno-

Despite the serious reverse they

the province, the Russians continue
their attacks in Eastern Galicia and
along the eastern section of the Car
pathians.
At the other end OF the line, in the
Baltic provinces, the Russians appar-

men fought to death over csndlesticks
