The fight in Galicil has developed
nothing to stem the Austro-German
advance toward Lenberg, and Ber-
lin claims the Russians are retreat
ing over their own frontier toward
Tarnogrod, four miles from the Cali
clan border.
This means an invasion OF Russian
territory at new point, but, &C
cording to military observers in Lon
don, it may spell ultimate advantage
| for the Russians in that a general
Russian retirement .northward into
Poland would divert Ger. Linsingen' s
attempt to crush the Russian front
near Zurawna, which would sever the
communications of tho Russian army
in southeastern Galicia and Buko-
wilma. The military writer's say the
real danger zone from the Russian
standpoint is in the Zurawna district
and along the Dniester.
According to Berlin the Austro-
German forces have battered through
Niemerow, thirty miles northwest OF
Lemberg, and are advancing toward
Jaworow, which is only twenty-five
miles west of the Gs.lician capital.
Three great masses of Austro-Ger-
mans are sweeping from the San to-
ward the capital, and the prediction
is made that the decisive battle, II
one is fought, will take place in the
vicinity of Grodek, where military
observers believe the Russians should
benefit by the lake country.
British newspapers, though not
minimizing the importance Of the
/ Austro-German successes in Galicia,
acclaim what is styled the Grand
Duke Nicholas elusive strategy in
shifting his front from north and
south to northwest and southeast.
This manoeuvre, it is asserted, has
DETECTED the Austro-German blow to
some extent, and at tho same time
denied to them full test Of strength.
Gen. Won Mackensen, according to
dispatches, has given himself fort
night in which to capture Lemberg,
and it would seem that, ct the rate
his AMI coordinate forces are going
forward, this time limit will be ample
if the Russians are unable to Initiate
suffer resistance than they. are
showing now.
Vienna reports: "In Galicia the
Russians. despite their obstinate re-
sistance, could not Withstand the gen.
eral attack by the allied armies. Hot

German positions southeast of Mari

"The defeated Russian armies at
