Vienna in admitting the loss of
Gorilla says the evacuation followed
the repulse of new Italian attacks on
the Doberdo plateau, and that the
Strengthening of the Austrian lines
made necessary by the operation was
carried out without molestation from
the Italians. Vienna also reports that
400 Italians have been taken pris-
oner in the recent fighting in this
region.
In Galicia, in the sectors or Stanis-
lau and Halicz, the Russians have
driven farther westward in their en-
deavor to capture the central portion
of the railroad running from Kolomea
to Lemberg. Passing across the
Monasterzyska-N iznioff railway, they
have forded the Zlota Lipa river,
southeast of Halicz, and south of
Stanislau have captured Kryplin on
the Stanislau- Nadvorni railroad.
The Berlin official communication says
along the front of Archduke Charles
Francis in Gaicia, and south of the
Dniester, new positions have been oc-
cupied by the Teutonic allies, in accord
ance with previously arranged plans.
Russian attacks along the Strumen and
Stokhod rivers were repused with san
culinary losses to the Russians. Another
big battle has started near Brody, in
northern Galicia.
Owing to the inclement weather in
France, military activity has been con.
fined principally to bombardments, which
were somewhat heavy north of the Somme
and in the Thiaumont work sector neai
yerdun. An attempted German advance
against the British line south of Mar
tinpuich was put down by the fire Of the
trench mortars and machine guns, ac-
cording to London.
Fierce fighting is still going on be-
tween the Turks and Russians on the
Bitlis front in Turkish Armenia.

Petrograd, August 10-(via London
The town of Stanislau in Galicia is al
guns General Letchitzky losing no time
in following up his victory at Tysmienit-
sa. has pushed westward alons The rail-
road and Horthwestward along the wagon
road. and inNthe latter direction has APP
preached to within six miles OF Stanislau.
simultaneously, he, has announced drive
across the Koropic river and the lorna
ton of new line ofNadvance north OF
the Dniester
Hitherto General Count Won Bothmei
had enjoyed more or less protection for
his right on the Tarnopol position rom
the flooded Dniester. The appearance OF
an offensive north of the Dn.este-, which
has already carried the Russians as far
west as the crossing Of the sailgoad at
Niznioff, 20 miles east of Stanislau, in
jects an entirely new element intA the
situation. With Monasterzysk;l seriously
thanked, General Won Bothmer finds
himself with General Letchitzky in the
rear of his advanced position along the
Stripa
The Austrians are vainly striving to
stem this advance by desperate counter
attacks, in which the troops engaged in
hand-to-hand encounters, but apparently
with the net result always favoring the
Russians
The counting of General Letchitzky' 3
prisoners during the 10 days operations
shows that he has taken upward of 49,
900, and it is estimated that 10000 more
men were put out of commission. This
would bring the grand total of prisoners
to General Brussloff's credit since early
in June to 100000.
