MOI probably is it's story yet concluded.
1t was early in the wars history that
the Russian forces, with little of re-

across the Galician plains and planted
their heavy guns before the stronghold.
The first shots were fired on Sept. 16,
and from that date until the present
time Przemysl has been in the front Of
important events as much if not more
than any other single city.
The first Russian attempt against
Przemysl was undertaken too hastily,
or not hastily enough. In any event,
however. their big howitzers had not
pounded away at the strong fortifica-
tons for many days before Austrian
re-enforcements appeared in great num-

earnest, a bombardment Of the various
forts which formed the great strong
hold. Przemysl.
Austrians Slowly Starved.
The attacking army was variously
estimated at from $4,000 to 200. 900
men. There were probably 10000
Austrian soldiers within the fortress to
defend it.
In a few days the city had been sur
rounded and entirely cut of from out
ward communication. and thus it was
held and gradually starved until March
%. when General Kusmanek, the Aus.
TRAN commander, raised the white flag.
Several attempts had been made to
relieve the besieged city, but for some
reason as yet unexplained the Austrian
general staff could not release a force
Of sufficient strength to drive Off the
invaders or even to break through the
ring Of iron.
No ooner had the city fallen and
yielded its more than 117.OOO Austrian
soldiers as prisoners than the Russian
armies released from the siege rushed
south and east to the various Carpa-
THAN passes. bent upon surging across
those mountains and into the Hunga-
rian plains. They advanced to the
summit Of the mountains and held
them until the concerted Austrian and
German drive. which rolled them back,
began last month.
Meantime the Russians were able to
restock the forts of Przemysl to some
extent and to repair the damage done
by their own guns. But it is supposed
that it was lack Of ammunition which
eventually forced them to retire.
Russians Out PeII Nell.
With the Russians beaten back in
the Carpathian fighting General Mack
ensen at the beginning Of May began
h drive that sent the Russians reel
ing back in West Galicia. Two weeks
later he arrived before Przemysl with
a great Austro-G German army and be-
gan the actual siege operations.
Mackensen's left wing crossed the
San and menaced Przemysl from the
Sorth. His right wing pressed north
ward from the south to complete the
movement to encircle Przemysl by seiz-
ing the Przemysl-Iemberg railway.
In front Of Przemysl the famous ~
centimeters began battering at the
forts guarding the city from the west.
The fortress was not completely sur
rounded. nor was the railroad seized.
The Russians did not stay for that.
When they found they could not reply
to the terrific hail of steel poured upon
them they made the best retreat they
could back along the railroad toward
Iemberg and on back beyond that city
to their own frontier. the Austrians re-
port.
The capture of Przemysl was one of
the great victories of the war. That
was achieved by the slow grind of
siege. starving out the garrison. The re-
capture is a no less stirring and impor-
tant victory. Curiously enough, it was
achieved by an exactly opposite proc
ess from the capture. The assailants
just hurled themselves on the fortress
and drove the Russians out practically
pellmell.
