The continued success of Gen.

which gradually are evolving
Kovel and Lemberg. have begun to
have a marked effect on the situa-
ton i'm the central portion OF the
front which. except for small Rus

Of Dvinsk. has remained virtually
unaltered since the Russians fell
back last autumn 20 the line from
Dvinsk 20 the Pinsk marshes. The
Austrian line now has receded so far
before the repeated thrusts OF the
southwestern Russian forces in
southern Poland and Galicla that
the Germans are in danger Of flank
ing movement from the south and
the automatic retirement of the
forces opposed TO the Russian cen
ter.
Ready To Retreat.
Notwithstanding the desultory
bursts Of activity at various points
Russian officers say there are many
indications that the Germans are
prepared 10 abandon their present
line on this part of the front at any
moment.
