Main Forces Are FoiIed.

PETROGRAD. June s.-In their eager
ness to reach Lemberg by a sudden
dash, the Austro- Germans have fallen
into traps cleverly set by the Russian
commanders and have suffered heavy
losses.
An official statement from the war
office today mentioned one such incl
dent. The Russians took 1000 prisoners
and a large quantity OF ammunition.
On Sunday several enemy regiments
detached from General Mackensen's

Russian line on the left bank OF the
Vusnia. The following day the Rus
sian fianks closed in. Part of the enc
my's forces were cut to pieces in at
tempting to fight their way out and the
others were captured.
The war office admitted today that
the Russians continue to retire along
the Przemysl-Lemberg railway, but ex-
pressed satisfaction with the situation
around Lemberg.
Re-enforcements brought up by the
Germans in the Shawl region forced
the Russians to evacuate the village of
Double by persistent attacks. the war
