 Halicz, which obstructs the way to that city from the southeast, is again being subjected to the most violent pressure by the Russians, who are throwing the greatest weight of their attack north of Halicz on the Narray- uvka river and attempting to cut the railway from Halicz along the Mar rakuvko to Podvyscke.
 It is believed here by Russian off cials that the left flank of the army of the German general, Count von Bothmer, will soon be obliged to give way before the ierceness of the Rus sian onslaught, leaving them a way to Halicz open from the north.
