FURTHER GAINS
 BY RUSSIANS
On Eastern and Western Fronts Entente Forces Made COnsid. erable Gains Two Days-Ita- lianS Are Scoring.

have died, of the mutual congratula- tions of the entente allies sovereigns, statesmen and generals on the aus picious opening of the third year of the war, comes news of further Rus sian successes and of splendid vic tory for the Italian arms on the Ison- 20 front.
 The surprising success of the Ita- lians, who in two days have captured 10000 prisoners, suggests that in ad- dition to transferring General Koe vess, an able Austrian general, from the Trentino front to Galicia, the Austrlans also ventured to transfer troops from the Isonzo to the Rus sian front, in an endeavor to stem the Russian advance.
 General Gadorna's victory has caused in London great rejoicing and is one of the most promising suc- cesses in the new allied operations and a demonstration of the constantly growing power of the allied offensive on all fronts.
 Russia's new victory south of the Dneister and southwest of the Stanis- u-kolomea railway affords equal satisfaction and the prompt admission in the Berlin official statement of the retirement of the Austro-Germans south of the Dneister is taken here to indicate that the Russian victory is weightier than yet announced. Ac- cording to an unofficial report the evacuation of Lemberg has already been ordered
 In the meantime a new combined offensive by the allies has begun on the western front which is expected to lead to the severest fighting. Guillemont, around which heavy fight ing now is in progress, is one of the strongest positions in the German second system of defense and will doubtless be defended by the Ger mans, as was Pozieres, with the ut most stubbornness.
 The entente allies in the main theatres have made additional notable gains against the Teutonic allies. Big advances for them on all fronts are recorded in the latest communica- tions issued by the French, Russian and Italian war offices
 In France, General Jotfre's men have taken German trenches three and three quarter miles in length and from 300 to 300 metres in depth the last two days, have again won foot hold in the Thiaumont work near Yer dun and captured two lines of German works on the VauX- Chapitre- Chenois front
 The British on their part of the battle line near Guillemont have thrown forward their line about 400 yards.
 The Russians are continuing to drive their wedge westward into Ga licia in the region about Stanislau. Here they have taken some half doz- en additional towns and villages and according to Petrograd are continu- ing to develop their advantage. In all says Petrograd, territory amount ing to 61 1-2 square miles has been captured by the Russians and the pur- suit of the Austro-Germans is still going on.
 Nizniow, about fifteen miles north east of Stanislau; Tlumach, eighteen miles to the east Ottynia, fifteen miles southeast and Nadworna, twen- tv miles to the south are among the latest towns occupied by hte Rus sians. Vienna admits that the Aus trians have been withdrawn west of Tumach in the face of superior forces.
 The Gorizia bridgehead, the key to an advance to Trieste, and over which the Austrians and Italians have fought many notable battles, has at last fallen into the hands of the Italians and the city of Gorizia is being shelled by them in an en- deavor to drive out it's defenders. The taking of the bridgehead came with the capture of Sabolino and Monte San Michele. In the fighting the Italians took more than 5000 prisoners and large number of guns, machine guns and other war mater ials.
