ting against their further advance

marshes, to the west of Kolki and
along the Stockhd river, where the
kovel Kovno railway crosses the
stream, the Russian attacks have been
partly repulsed by the German Cen
eral Won Lansingen forces. according
to Berlin, while northwest Of Lutsk
Germans.
Petrograd admits the penetration Of
the Russian lines by the Austrians
west of Lutsk near the town Of Lo-
katchi. but says later the Russians re-
trieved this setback. The announce
ment of fighting in this region would
indicate that the drive in Volhynia

the railway running north through
Kovel.
Along the Galician border near Radsi-
voloff the Russians announce the cap
ture Of 1900 prisoners. Berlin reports

Melville ST. Vast but intermittent else
where have taken place along the rest
Of the line in France and Belgium.
Numerous battles in the air in which
six German machines, among them two
Fokkers. were driven down by the Brit
ish are recorded in the British official
statement. The British themselves lost
two craft.
A severe battle between tho Austrians
and Italians is in progress on the Setti
Communi plateau, west Of Asiago. On

Trent numerous Austrian attacks have
been repulsed. The Italians report some
progress for their troops northeast Of
