.DARIS, August 7.-Once more
i numbers and equipment have
told and the Russians are reported
to be again hammering their way
forward on the long eastern lines,
battering down the German Gefen-
sive and smashing the Austrian.
One after another they have landed
heavy blows upon the Teutonrc for
ceS facing them, and according to
reports from official and unofficial
sources last night they have CON-
pletely recovered from the reverSes
that checked them Friday last, and
are forging forward once again.
The reports that come from the
German sources claim that the Slav
rush in the neighborhood of the
Stokhod lines have been definitely
repulsed, but the reports mention
places which have been the scene Ct
the fighting of the last few days. in
dicating that the Russians in that
field, while they may not have been
able to make any gains have at least
held their own against the fury of
the Teutonic counter assaults
Struggle Ferocious
Indeed the Russian dispatches
themselves speak of the fighting
east of Kovel, as having been of
particular feroCity, and mention
that the losses on both sides have
been stupendous. They also claim
that the Germans have lost more
heavily than themselves, putting the
German and Austrian loss in pris-
oners at $500 men and l40 officers,
including one regimental command

The mat,.-ial of war taken by
the men under General BruSsiloff,
the dispatches declare, was huge.
A number of heavy guns were cap
tured by the Slavs, indicating it is
believed here, that the Teutons
were unable to retreat fast enough
to move them out of harms way
before the Russians overlook them.
Say Teutons Broken
The official Petrograd dispatches
say that the Russians have broken
the TeutoniC resistance along the
Sereth river, south of Brody, and
have taken six villages and the en-
tire ridge, commanding the valley
for miles, upon which the villages
stand.
In the same neighborhood, along
the line of the Graberka, also the
fighting was desperate, the Teutons
hotly conteSting every inch Of the
ground as they retired before the
onset of the victorious Slav forces.
Lose In Mountains.
In the Carpathians the story is
different. Petrograd says little def
mite regarding the struggle there,
but Berlin reiterateS the statement
that the AuStrians have succeeded
in blocking the thrust of the Rus
slams in the direction of the IIunga-
rian plains, and in driving the Slav
masses back over the ground they
had taken some time ago.
In speaking of the struggle else
where along the east front Berlin
says officially that the Russians
were repulsed with heavy slaughter
in their attacks upon the German
positions in the vicinity of Zarecze
on the Stokhod river, approximate
ly ten miles from KoveI.
The German General staff admits
however, that the Russians have
captured the western bank of the
