official statement given out here
today.
LONDON, June 5.--Another Ger
man air raid on the coasts of Eng
land last night, coupled with tho
usual weekend activity of German
submarines, are the war develop
ments Of the last twelve hours, which
are today holding public attention.
Discussion Of the fall OF Prsemysl
has been laid aside for matters
nearer home.
Little is known as yet OF the extent
Of the aerial attack. but It does not
seem to have done much damage or
been costly In lines.
German submarines have been
very busy during the last few days in
the North sea. in Bristol channel.
Ten vessels have been attacked in tn 4
last three days without loss OF '.
except in the case of the trawler VicN
toria, four members OF the crew OF
this boat and boy passenger having
fallen victims to shells fired by the
attacking submarines.
The biggest capture of the Germans
was the 50o0-ton Liverpool steamer In
KUN. Another important victim was the
Cairn liner Iona. erroneously reported at
first as the Wilson line steamer OF the
same name. The other ships sent TO the
fptiofe bx ne Germans include, In addi-
tion % several trawiers. four neutral
ships. two panish. one Norwegian and
one swedish.
AustrlRn Progress slow.
The Austro-oerman forces have pushed
their salient as far as Tuklah, which is
some distance northeast OF Przemysl.
Notwithstanding the evacuation OF this
fortress, the Russians have maintalned
an unbroken fighting front or both sides
of the railroad TO Bemberp. Thus far
the Austrians and Germans apparently
have made little progress since the TAX
ing OF Przcmysl, although an official re-
port states the Russians have been driven
east to the vicinity of Medyka.
British and French reports indicate
hard fighting on the western front with
out much progress for either side The
Belgian frontier has again been closed to
traffic. This tends TO confirm reports
that the Germans are moving heavy re
lnforcements 10 their positions along the
User canal.

fDTRoGRAD. June 6.--tvia London)--
Further discussion OF the evacuation Of
Przemysl brought out the claim In Petro-
grad today that the Germans doubled
their forces operating on their southern
front during the Gslician advance. and
that fresh troops and artillery are stiu
being sent in. Most OF the reinforcements
are being directed toward the Russian
left flank in the Dnioster region. this
having become since the abandonment OF
PrEepiysl the chief point OF the Austro-
German attack.
The movement OF the German center
would appear TO have been stopped ten
miles to the east of Przamysl and the
elimination OF tho trroGsllarities OF the
Russian Alignment has, according to Rus
Sian militarists. advGntagsously shortened
their front from fitay to nfteen miles
