CARS TROOPS RESUME THEIR
CLOSING IN MOVEMENT ON
GALICIAN TOWN SOUTH
EAST OF LEMBERG.
ALLIES CAPTURE FOUR
MILES OF TEUTON LINES
British ard French Continue Offensive
North and South of Somme River
Heavy Counter-Attacks Re-
pulsed With Heavy Losses
to Germans.

Petrcgrad, Sept. 19.--Russian troops
have resumed their closing-in move
ment on the Galician town of Halicz,
southeast of Lemberg in the Dneister.
The war office announced that the
Teutons had been ~dislodged from po-
sitions south of Bree2eny on the aiota
Lipa, northeast of HalicZ, and that the
Russians were attacked along the Pod
vyscke Halicz railway line, where
more than 5000 Germans were taken
prisoners and 20 machine guns cap
tured.
During the fighting, the Russians
threw forward attachments of Grim
can cavalry. The mounted troops at
tackled two enemy batteries, according
to the war office, and having sabred
the attendant gunners, threw three
guns into the ditch.
German Trenches In West Taken.
London, Sept. l9.-German POSITIONS
exceeding four miles in length were
captured Saturday night and Sunday
by the British and French army in the
continuation OF their offensive north
and south of the Somme river in
France. In addition quantities of war
material and a large number of pris-
oners fell into the hands of the en-
tente allies-700 prisoners being TAX
en- by the French alone.
Heavy counter-attacks against the
British Sunday were ~repulsed with
large losses to the Germans according
to London.
British Make Gains.
Near Thiepval, the British took a
fortified position near Courcelette and
made and finally the strongly defend
ed position at the Mouquete farm over
| which there hadsbeen numerous hard
fought battles for several weeks fell
into their hands.
To the south of the river, the French
pushed back the Germans and occu-
| pied the remainder of the towns OF
Vermandovillers and Berry still in
their hands and also captured all the
ground between Vermandovillers and
Deniecourt and between Deniecourt
and Berry, the gain being over n front
running northeast two miles and
thence east another mile.
~Grandcourt Is Bomkarded.
The advance of the British apparent
ly straightens out the salient hat had
projected into their line between
Thiepval and Courcelette and brings
their front here to within a scant mile
Of G~randcourt and the Albert Bapaume
railway. G~randcourt now is being
bombarded by the British. The sue
cess of the French seemingly obliter-
ates another of the many saw-tooth
! s~alients which mark the entire front
of the Somme and is another move of
the right flank of the Allies toward
tn p~ocketing of Peronne.
