AUSTRIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
GALICIA, Via Vienna, Berlin and
Amsterdam. July 3.-Rapid strides by
the Austro- German forces along the
Vistuia river have brought them TO a
point only 33 miles from Ivangorod.
The Russian defense appears to be
growing steadily weaker and the in
dications now are that the great Rus
sian fortress on the Vistula will be
beseiged within short time. After
they captured Josefow. the Teutonic
troops pressed forward toward Ka-
mien. on the east bank of the Nistula,
while other forces are moving north
ward on the west bank.
JoSefOw was taken in a night at
tack after the Austro- German troops
had crossed the Wyznica.
That Ivangorod will fall without a
great struggle was the confident pre-
diction made today by Austrian Of
hcers. Reports have reached Austrian
headquarters that the Russians have
withdrawn practically all their sup
plies from Ivangorod and sent many
of their guns from there to Warsaw,
keeping only enough TO delay the
AustrO- German advance while the
cars troops are concentrated for the
defense of Warsaw.
