The Russians have fallen back upon
strong stategic positions along the
river San, which runs north and south
through Central Galicia. They now re.
gard the German drive through West
Galicia as having ben checked perma.
nently. The arrival Of fresh Russian
troops, which successfully engaged
the German flank, has relieved the
pressure on the Russian center. These
attacks on the German wing, in which
the Russian cavalry had beer. support
ed effectively by the mountains artil.
lery, have been prosecuted with great
fierceness.
The activity noted in the last few
days along the center Of the Polish
front in the vicinity, of Slierniowice
and sRawa, Is said to have been due to
Russian initiative with the object Of
holding the Germans in their positions
and preventing mobilization of these
forces elsewhere.

from Lupkow is explained here as not
