 Amidst the activities on land asd
 sea in Asia, from the waters of the Dlrdaneues to the waters around the
 British Isles, middle Galicia remains
 the scene of the greatest and most
 important fighting There the Aus trians and Germans continue to bat ter at the Russian lines To the norrk- east and southeast ui Przemysl and, according to reports not confirmed in the official statements, they have sev- cred communication between the for mer Austrian fortress and Lcmhere.

 Lcppelius. early this morning. raided the east coast oi Cn-lagd. and Frmcb GeroplaDes dropped bombs on the chemical works at LudWiGshafen. The

IL would appear, however, that while the Teutonic al- lies the pressing very hard on the fortress, they have not yet forged the circle, the compition of which is being stubbornly opposed by the Russians. The Germans are forced another cros- sing of the san River, eleven miles north of przemsyl and have extended by several miles the zone held by them east of the San Southeast they also claim to have broken the Russian lines and taken some important posi-. tions. Despite al! the6e claims. Petro. grad announces with the greatest op- timism. the belief that the Russian endorsements will be able to stem the Austro-German onslaught.
 In the West the French and British reports of further advs-ces are gen. erally denied by the -ermGas. -ne allies report continued progress in their operations against the -uras on Gallipoli peninsula During the armis- tice which the Turks asked for they buried many more than three thou sand dead, while the British gathered no less than twelve thousand Turkish rifles, is a proof that rne Turkish losses were heavy
 These losses were sustained in ter rife counter attacks delivered against the positions which the allies had strongly fortified The Turks came under 6re of the ships at the same time. The repulse of these counter attacks and carrying our of attacks by the allies themselves resulted in losses to the allied side. 10 which must now be added losses sustained by the sinking of the battle ships Triumph and Majestic
 The Majestic which is the oldest on active list of the British navy is the sixth capitaI su,p Iosy by the allies since the beginning of operations against the Dardanelles. md the second which has fallen a 'ictim to German submarines which .ecently arrived in these waters.
