LONDON, March 21.-Distinct Rus
sian victories at both ends of tho 500
mile eastern battle front this after
noon overshadowed the fighting
around Verdun, where the Germans
have made further advances.
The battering Of heavy Russian
guns against Won Hindenburg's front
In the north has forced the Germans
to withdraw from salient south "
Narocz lake. The German war office
admitted the retirement in an official
statement this afternoon. declaring a
retreat was necessary to avoid ami
hilation of German troops by the en-
circling fire of the Slavs.
General Kuropatkin, Russian com
mander in chief in the Japanese war,
commanded the army that forced the
German retirement.
A few hours earlier came admfs-
sion from the Austrian war office OF
an important Russian victory in south
eastern Galicia, thirty-eight miles
northeast Of Czernowitz.
This victory renders precartous the
position Of remaining Austrian forces
on the north bank of the Dniester,
and forecasts the beginnings OF n
new Russian campaign against Buko-
wilma. In view Of the rumored en-
trance of Roumania into the war,
this development is regarded as high
ly significant.
The German war Office admitted
that the Russians are making heavy
attacks on a wide front in the Riga
Dvinsk sector. despite heavy losses.
It Is considered certain here that the
power Of the new Russian offensive
will force the withdrawal Of German
troops from the western front and
possibly end the Verdun offensive.
On the Verdun front, the Germans
last night renewed their attempt to
squeeze the French out of the strong
ly fortified positions west OF the
Meuse. The attack was partly sue
cessful, the French war office admit
ted, though the Germans suffered
heavy losses.
