BATTLE RACES ON

By The United Press.

LONDON, Jan. s.--Fierce fighting on
a twenty-mile front all along the bend
of the River Styr was reported in dis
patches from both Petrograd and vi
emma today. The Russians are assailing
the Austrian lines fifty miles east
of the important railway town of Kovel,
objective of the offensive in Volhynia.
Petrogad reported today that after cap
turing the town of Czartorysk the Slavs
pressed on and captured a range Of hills
west of the town. They are now assail-
ing the main heights barring the ad-
vance on Kovel.
The fighting in this region has tenn
porarily detracted attention from the
struggle northeast of Czernowitz and
along the Tarnopol- l-Trembowla line,
where nearly a million men with sew
eral thousand guns are reported to be
engaged. This is true mainly because
the possibilities of an important military
success are greater in the offensive east
of Kovel than at any other point in the
struggle.
