~ A. further series of surprising
SUCCESSES by the armies of Generals
Sakl aroff and Letchitzky were an
nounoed today by the Russians. The
mCst consequential of these were the
capture of the important railway
junction and town of StaniSlau; the
defiLito occupation of Monastery
ska, and the seizure of important po-
stions oG the Zluta Iipa line.
Coupled with these victories was the
capture of many thousand prisoners,
especially on the right bank Of the
Sereth where the prisoners taken
number five thousand.
The Germans appeared to regard
the Hovel-Lemberg sector as the
most critical on the eastern front and
the appointment of Field Marshal
vor Hindenburg to the chief COM
mand undoubtedly had the effect of
temporarily stemming the Russian
advance on the northern section of
the line. But Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg does not hold the con-
trolling command over the troops
guarding the southern approached to
Lemberg, where General LetchltZky,
having taken Stanislau and being
within striking distance of Ealich. is
raj idly completing his encirclcment
of the army of General Count Won
Bothmer.
Possessions secure.
The possession of Stanislau ana
Kolomea makeh secure the Russian
possession of Bukowina and gives
them base fer an invasion of Hun
gary.
The German official statement to-
day admitted that a regrouping uf the
Teutonic forces was taking place in
order to meet the new positions of the
Russian army.
Nothing sensational is happening on
the western front, where the entente
allies maintain a steady pressure. AL
though the British forces have shown
little activity north of the Somme, the
French report the capture of add
tional German trenches near Maure-
pas and a fortified quarry north of
the Hem wood.
The taking of Stanislau, which vi
enna says was evacuated without
fighting, opens another gateway
through which the Russians may ad-
vance toward Lemberg. Already. Pet
rcgrad says, the Austro Germans are
being pursued toward Halich, rail
way junction north of Stanislau on
the Dniester river. Petrograd re-
ports capture of five thousand more
Austro- Germans.
The italian army under The DUKE or
Aosta. which took Gorilla. is losing
nc time in it's advance as result of
the capture of the gateway to Triest.
South of GoriTia along the lower Is
ONO, the Italians have occupied the
whole OF the Doberdo plateau, the
sceno OF much desperate fighting, in
addition to driving the Austrians east
of the Vallone line and capturing sew
eral towns in the direction of Triest.
East CT Gorizia, the Italians have
not met with as much success as in
the south. Rome officially reports the
Austrians to be holding out in trench
es on the line of Monte San Gabrielle
and Monte San Mario.
French Take Trenches.
While the British forces have been
comparatively inactive north of the
Somme. in northern France, the
French have followed up their BEN
hardment of the German lines with
the capture Of additional German
trenches near Maurepas and foru-
fled quarry north of the Hem wood.
The French also have established
new line on the ridge south of Maure-
pas and have taken two small woods
north of the Hem wood.
On the Balkan front the Anglo
French forces have attacked tho Bull
gsrians and occupied the Doiran rail.
