A LTHoUGH bad weather is ham
n pering the British and French
maneuvers in the west. both the
Italians and the Russians are keep
ing up their strong offensive against
The Teutonic allies, respectively. in
Austria and Galicia and at last reports
both had made additional important
gains.
ON the Isonso front the Italians
nave continued to throw their forces
across the river and have fought their
way To the east of the captured city
of Gorizia. In addition, southwest or
Gorzia they have taken strong Aus
trian entertainments near Monte san
Michele and Monte San Martino and
also occupied the town of Boschini,
giving them free hand for their
operations in the region of the Do
berdo plateau and southwark toward
the Monfalcone sector. Large num-
bers of prisoners We're taken in the
fighting.
Vienna. in admitting the loss Of
Gorlzla, says the evacuation followed
the repulse of new Italian attacks on
the Doberdo plateau and that the
of the Austrian lines
made necessary by the operation was
carried out without molestation from
the Italians. Vienna also reports that
4 100 Italians have been taken pris-
oners in the recent fighting in this
region.
Russians Attack
In Galicia, in the sectors of Stan
islau and llalich, the Russians have
driven their forces further westward
in their endeavor to capture the cen
trail portion of the railroad running
from Kolomea to Lemberg. Passing
across the Monasterzyska-Ni Niznioff
they have forded the Zlota I

Berlin says that along the front of
Archduke Charles Francis in Galicia,
southwest Of WelesniCs and south of
he Dniester, new positions have been
occupied by the TeutoniC allies in ac-
,ordanCe with previously arranged
jlans. Russian attacks along the
itrumen and Stokhod rivers were re-
)ulsed with sanguinary losses to the
russians. Another big battle has
itarted near BrOdy, in northern
ialCia.
Owing to the inclement weather in
trance, military activity has been
confined principally to bOmbardments,
which were somewhat heavy north of
he Somme and in the Thiamont work
ector near Nerdun. An attempted
ierman advance against the British
inc south of Ilartinpuch was put
own by the fire of trench mOrtars
