TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

German military activities, while
lessening in the Galician and South
Poland warfelds, apparently are in
full swing again along the front to the
west and northwest of Warsaw. The
latest official announcement from Pet
rograd indicates this in recording the
attacks on the Russian positions at
several points.
Heavy losses were inflicted upon the
Germans in an assault in the Przasnysz
district, the Russians report, but near
Bolimow, almost directly west of War
saw, an attack in which gases were
employed resulted in the storming of
the first line trenches In some of
these the Germans retained a foothold.
The fighting there was reported as con
tinuing.
Petrograd declares that the blow
dealt the Austrians south of Lublin is
being followed up, the Teutonic forces
there being in retreat with the Rus
slams in pursuit. -
A petrograd correspondent describes
the check to the Austrians as result
ing from a tactical blunder by Arch
duke Ferdinand, who in too swift an
advance left his army's left wing un-
covered, and the Russians made their
attack in that direction, costing the
Austrians $4,000 men.
From South Africa comes news that
General Botha. at the head of the
British forces, has completed the CON
quest of German Southwest Africa
accepting the surrender of all the Ger
man military forces there.

The campaign against the German
African colony was considered SO vital
that all the resources from the Sontb

successful conclusion probably means
that despite the fact that German
East Africa remains unconquered q con
tIngent will be despatched to France.
while additional forces will eontinue
