hostile aeroplane
''In the sectors OF Jedwabno and
Przasnysz there was a lively artillery
duel and Isolated engagements OF a local
nature. In the direction OF Bollmow,

asphyxiating gas, but at no point was
able TO make progress. We occupy the
whole Of our original front.

LONDON. July 10.
A dispatch from the Daily Telegraph's
in Petrograd says:
I'm the opinion OF competent military
southwest Of Lublin. though not In itself
decisive for the whole system OF battles
now proceeding on both sides OF the
southern frontiers OF Poland, is at any
rate a final blow to any hopes which the
may still have of real
IEing the aims with which they started
their great aggressive movement.
'Tt iH believed that the Austro-German
losses during the three days of lighting
must have amounted altogether TO more
than an army corps before the final rout.
More than 1000 corpses OF Austrians are
yinG In front OF the Russian trenches to
The west OF tho Bihavions sector.
THE enemy is operating with mixed
forces, asEregating about two armies,
which include portions of the armies of
both Generals DanlIl and Maekensen.
"A military critic makes the ineresting
statement that the Russians still have
10 the west OF Warsaw forces much
larger than are necessary for the imme-
date defense OF that city, and he ex-
presses the opinion that the whole object
of the Austro- German Galician aggressive
Was 10 draw away the Russians from the
road TO Berlin"
