IA matters are now, neither IN buKo-
wilma nor in the province OF Suwaiki
could German successes much affect the
main Russian advance, which, OF course
can only be aided by the enemy's fali-
ures in both regions. In the mean
time Russia is sending quantities OF
soed and corn into Galicia for free dis
tribution in order TO insure the re-
habilitation of the Cars devastated
new province as speedily as possible.
Advance Stubbornly Contested.
Every foot of the Russian advance
along the front from Bsrtfeld TO Stry
is being contested with particular
stubboruness. This front runs almost
due east and west for lis miles. Bart
field is in Northern Hungary and Stry
in Eastern Galicia, TO the south or
Lemberg.
Attacks and counter attacks follow
with such rapidity that both sides may
be said to be taking the offensive stimuli
tareously. The shocks are resulting IN
unusually heavy casualties, with only a
slight change in the comparative posi-
lions of the opposing forces.
