PETROGRAD, Aug. 1.-THE last
! formidable Austro-German harriE
to Lemberg has been broken and
the Teutonic forces are making q
general retreat on a 90-mile front
In the direction OF the Galician capi-
tai.
Compelled to retire from the
strong Stripa river positions by the
threat that his armies would be
surrounded and captured, Gen. Both
mer is falling steadily back on the
Zlota Lipa, Is miles to the west.
But Russian forces already have
crossed the Zlota Lipa north OF
Stanislau and the danger of blow
at his right flank will prevent Both
mer from making stand here.
On the whole line the Russian
moving machine is reaping bloody
harvest. On the front east and
southeast of Lemberg alone, IL is
estimated that the Austro-G Germans
have lost $4,000 men, or half their
electives. This fact. ii is believed.
necessitates the continued retreat
before the Russians.
The Russians are systematically
sending forward their infantry to
pound the, enemy front, while Cos
sack cavalry attacks and demoral-
ICES the wings One regiment alone
took 1000 Austro-German prisoners.
The proportion OF Germans among
both prisoners and enemy killed and
wounded is steadily increasing. This
is believed TO be due TO the fact that
the Austrians have practically ex-
hausted their reserves and that Ger
man reinforcements are being
brought up in large numbers TO stiff
fen their line.
A Russian cavalry force that cap
tured Mariampol, eight miles south.
cast OF Hulitz, is believed to he
pushing toward the Halitz-Stanislau
railway north OF the Dniester, only
three miles away. The capture of
this crossing would cut off large
force of AustroGermans who re-
, tired from Stanislau and force them

GERMAN SUBS WILL

Lusitania and Arabic AS
suranccs Referred Only

NASIIINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Ger
w many's response to the latest
request of the United States for assur-
ances that submarine warfare will be
conducted in accordance with estab-
lished PRINCIPLES of international law
is expected here to be flat statement
that assurances previously gi,cn in
the Lusitania and Arabic cases had to
do only with unarned vessels, and
that the German government must
feel certain that its submarines which
warn a merchant ship will not he at
tackled. Furthermore the Berlin
foreign office probably will ask tho
United States for its definition of de-
fcnsiNe arma ment.
Indications of what the German
reply may be are understood to have
been given in informal conversations
between state department officials and
Tcutonic diplomats since Germany and
Austria announced their intention OF
sinking all armed enemy merchant.
men after February 90
The United States made its first
formal declaration that ii does not ac-
copt as legal the announced inten-
tons of the Teutonic powers when
the state department sent To diplomat
ic and consular representatives abroad
for their Information, notification that
this government considers that mer-
chant ships have a right to carry de-
fensiVe armament. The dispatches
contained excerpts from newspaper
articles setting forth the position Of
the United States. In this connec-
ton 1t became known that the Swed-
ish government had instructed its
consular officers to advise all Swed-
ish subjects preparing to embark on
vessels Of the entente allies of the
warning given by Germany and AUS
tria.
1t was admitted at the state de-
partment today that the question OF
writing formal note on the subjec,
OF the conduct of submarine warfare
after the complete German declara-
tion and its appendix have been re-
ccivcd. was under consideration IL
is certain that Austria also will b.
supplied with the views of the United
States.
Eleven days remain before German
and Austrian submarine commanders
begin tu pGt into effect tEeir new m.
structions. unless the date for 'hs
opening of the new campaign is post
poned. While the United States il
said not to have asked for a post
poncmcnt, the German ambassador is
believed to have called the attention
OF his government 30 the fact that the
complet" appendix forming the basis
Of the German declaration had not vet
had time to reach the state depart-
mcnt aud for this reason postpone
ment would not be surprising.
Officials also are awaiting copies
OF the confidential Instructions to
attack submarines which the German
government alleges have been given
the commanders of British mer-
chant ships. These were appended to
the text OF the declaration of intcn-
tons. but because Of their length
