Field Marshal Won MUckensen has hardly
gained a yard since he reached the village
of Reiovetz, south Of the Lublu-CIolm rail
way. The Russians continually threaten his
link along the Bug river, from enst Of Choln

and SOkal, their attacks are particularly

patton by the Germans of some positions
evacuated by The Russians when they drew

east Of Zillebeke and destroyed the eueiny's
trenches there. Soon afterwards the enemy
exploded Il NINE q little further south, but 1t
did little damage. Since then WI hnve made
some groun,i by occupying the crater Of the
German mine aud linking it to our trenches.
On Saturday we repuIsed another heavy
bomb attack on our trenches along the era
