War Summary

Lemberg, capital of Galicia, has far
len before the Austro-German armies
which have been sweeping across the
province for the last two months. An
| official announcement from the Aus.
captured by the second army after a
severe battle.
| Austria has now reclaimed most of
the province of Galicia, occupied by
the Russians early in the war. The
fall Of Lemberg had been expected for
several days and was admitted in
Petrograd to be imminent. The Rus
SLAMS are reported to have withdrawn
most of their forces and supplies from
the city, which was threatened with
development by the Austro-German ar
mics advancing from the north and
south
South Of Lemberg in the Dniester
region, a strip of Austrian territory is
still in the hands of the Russians. An
Off cial statement from Petrograd re-
ports an important victory after a
battle along the river which lasted
several days. At Rawa Ruska, thirty
two miles northwest of Lemberg, and
near the Bukowina border, other Rus
/ sian successes are claimed.
The italian general staff announces
the arrival of important reinforce
ments for the Austrians along the
Isonzo front, north of the Gulf OF
Triest. In the Monte Nero district
these forces were encountered for the
first time in battle in which, the an
nouncement says, they were repulsed
by Alpine troops. An unofficial dis
patch from Geneva says the Italians
have captured all the positions defend
ing Malborgeth and are bombarding
the fortress itself.
Five Swedish steamers bound for
England with lumber were captured
yesterday by German warships In the
Moth sea.

"Our country and history will later

ALL A|RSA|Ps NOW

Basel, Switzerland, June 23.-Dis-
patches from Germany set forth that
a meeting of aerial experts was held
recently at Friedrichshafen to discuss
the question Of constructing on top of
all Zeppelin ariships launched in the
future a gun platform on which to
mount machine guns. These would
be used to drive away enemy aero
planes and protect the Zeppelins from
attacks such as that delivered over
Belgium by the British aviator, Wane-
ford.
The opinion was expected at this
conference that Warneford had ex-
ploded the theory Of Count Zeppelin
that his airships cannot be approached
and attacked by aeroplanes.

Capital Of Galicia Is Now
in the Hands Of Austro-
Hungarian Forces
SUCCESS WILL HAVE
EFFECT POLITICALLY
Driving Out of Russians Is
Counted to Help German
Standing in Balkans

London, June 23.-The state
ment from Austrian headquarters
that Lemberg had fallen before
the advance of the forces OF Aus
trIa and Germany was received IN
London without surprise. 1t was
known that the Germanic allies
we're within artillery range Of the
GaIieian capital, and capitulation
~as regarded as question only
Of days. Nothing has been heard
from Petrograd but there Is no
disposition to doubt the accuracy
of the Austrian claim.
Berlin. June 23.-The news that
Lemberg has been carried by Aus
trian and Hungarian troops was
received today with great JubIla-
tlon in Berlin. Everybody feels
that another great step in the d.
rection of final victory has been
gained.
The Cologne Gazette printed
dispatch saying that the Russians,
before the general retreat began,
hurriedIy sent back all the artll.
lery they could move. Part Of the
cannon were useless on account
of poor ammunition.
Berlin, June 23-Lemberg has been
conquered after q very severe battle,
according to an official report received
from the headquarters Of the Austro-
army
Lemberg, capital of Galicia, was oc-
cupied by the Russians on September
2, 1914, about one month after the
outbreak of hostilities, in the course Of
the early Russian drive into Austria.
It has, therefore, been in Russian con-
troll for over ten months.
Objective of Attacks.
For the last twenty days, since the
Germans took Przemysl, 1t has
been the objective of series Of fierce
and concentrated attacks on the part
of the Teutonic allies. Their success
will have a far reaching political ef-
feet, as the driving out of the Russians
from Galicia is counted on In Berlin
to help maintain the status quo in the
Balkans.
The capture of Lemberg was one Of
the earliest important successes OF the
Russians. Following it they pushed
onward rapidly through Galicia, the
high water mark of the invasion
found almost all the province in their
hands. They approached within strik-
Ing distance of Cracow, at the western
end of the province close to the Ger
man frontier, stormed the heights and
passes of the Carpathian mountains,
which separate Galicia from Hungary,
and to the east, swept down through
the crown land of Bukowina to the
Rumanian frontier.
All this has been changed by the
steady succession of Austro-German
victories of the last few weeks. The
change began with the launching of
The great drive from Cracow eastward.
Great numbers of German troops were
sent in to assist the Austrians, as well
IS vast amount of field artillery. The
lse of artillery by the Teutonic allies
aas been described by correspondents
Is on a scale never before undertaken.
Its effectiveness was relatively in
creased by the shortage of shells on
he part of the Russians, which is be-
ieyed to have contributed largely to
he weakening of their resistance.
