Petrograd, Sept 1.-Today's news
shows more than a steady slowing up
of the German advance. The Rus
slams now hold the Germans on the
entire front except in the neighbor-
hood of Riga, where the enemy has
again returned to the river Missa,
from which they were lately thrown
back TO the River IA.
An the Wilma front the Russians
have advanced on the right bank Of
the Wylia. but this move, while prov
ing a successful reply to the German
attempt TO outflank wilma from the
south, is unlikely to be continued.
More significant is the very consid-
cradle Russian success in Galicia.
where 5000 prisoners with many guns
were taken between the Zlota Lipa
and the Strypa- The locality OF this
success adds to its importance. Gen.
Pflanzer, with about five army corps.

Russian army in Galicia with the clear
object of forcing ii away from the
