Fresh Russian Forces
Force AuStrianS Back

Austrian Headquarters, July 81 ne
retirement Of the northern and south
ern wings of the Austro-German army
south of the Pripet marshes was due
TO the superiority Of the Russian
forces. Fresh forces were thrown in
and attack massed on attack regardless
of losses.
Spurred on by the success Of Cen
eral Won Bothmer's troops south Of the
Dniester on the Tlumach front, the
Russians brought up new troopss TO
both sides Of the Dniester steadily for
three days, and succeeded in stopping
General Won Bothmer east Of Ilumach,
forcing him to abandon the lower
coure Of the Stripa.
The new line to which the Austro-
German forces retired follows the
course of two brooks flowing into the
Dniester from the north and the south

lowing the discovery of bomb on the

AustrO-GermanFOrCeS
Fall Back to StOChOd
River.
COSSACkS SABRE
MANY FUGITIVES
Eight Villages Taken
Kaiser's Entire Front in
Poland Endangered.


London, July 8.-The fury and the
rapidity of the Russian advance in
Volhynia has forced the Austro-Ger-
man armies to abandon their entire
line along the Styr. They have
fallen back to the Stochod River.
Pressing forward with overpower'
ing forces from the fighting zones
near Lutsk and Kolki, the troops Of
General Brussiloff and General
Kaledines are now threatening hovel
from three directions. The whole
Teuton front in Poland is menaced
by the continued success Of the Cars
offensive in this sector.
Admission of the withdrawal OF
the Austro-German lines along the
Stvr River is made in the official
statement issued in Vienna to-day.
The Austrian forces were ordered to
retreat. according to this statement,
because their advanced lines were
exposed to a double fanking move
ment from hostile forces which have
increased from threefold to fvefold
superiority
Eight Villages Taken.
No less than eight important vii
lagos along both sides of the railway
from Sarny to Kovel were captured
to-day by the swiftly moving Russian
armies. and more than 1000 prisoners
were bagged.
The fall of strategic positions north
and south of the railway paved the
way for a cavalry rush in the centre
which swept everything before 1t and
made the Russians masters of the
whole triangle comprising Kolki, Ra-
falowka and Maneyitchie.
The capture of Letchnievka and
Gruziatyn. around which violent fight
ing has been n progress for several
davs. has enabled the Russians to push
their lines forward along the whole
thirty-mile front extending between
those two points. Thirty-fve miles, on
the average. now separates the Russian
front from their immediate objective
-Kovel
That the Teutonic resistance in this
sector has weakened considerably dur
ing the stress of the latest Russian at
tacks is indicated by the increasing
number of disoYderly retreats reported
in the official communications. Scores
Of Austrians have been sabred in the
fierce pursuits by the Cossacks, and a
vast amount of booty has fallen into
the hands OF the Russians.
1000 Taken Prisoners.
General Won BothmeT's army in Ga
licia continues to weaken under the re-
lentless pounding of the Russians, who
have added 1000 prisoners to their
bag. and captured another village.
