RUSSIANS TRAP FOE

stretch OF 20 miles on the Sereth River.
According to a report from Rome an Aus
| trian army under General Ba tin la shut up
| IN the angle of the frontier near the town
| OF Sereth, completely surrounded by Rus
slams
The fall of Radautz places the extreme
| left wing of General Brusiloff's invading
armies in full control of the railway run
ming vertically through the Bukowiua. from
halesc2yki to Radautz and threatens the
southern prolongatior of this line running
through Suczawa into the interior of Ru-
mania Thus, the Russian commander has
now, in the line from Tarnopol in north
western Gaicia down TO Radautz, ali ex-
cellent base railway for the continuation OF
his offensive.
Moreover. the new Russian advance into
the southern Bukowina deals a blow to the
commercial relations recently established
between Rumania and the Central Powers
by the conclusion of the trade agreement
by which the three Powers are to export
TO one another surplus quantities of food
stuffs Much of the grain shipped from Ru-
mania to Austria and Germany under this
compact went via the Bucharest Budapest
Vienna-Berlin railway. With a Russian
army fronting the western Rumanian border
through which this line runs, not a ton of
Rumanan goods can reach the Central En-
pires by this route. while on the other hand
Rumana becomes partly dependent upon
Russia
The Russian drive in the south thus as
sumes a new aspect in that it threatens a
Tightening Of the food blockade of the
Teutonic countries. If pushed further to the
south, to the Danube, on which river the
bulk of the commercial exchange Is carried
on, the new trade pact will be reduced to
nil, Rumania will be isolated and virtually
blockaded from the north, northwest. and
east (Black Sea-, while the Teuton-Bul-
gaTian Macedonia army will be placed be-
tween the Russians and the Franco British
forces.
Apart from the success In the south
the Russian offensive made no progress in
the last "a hours, but. on the contrary
suffered a serious check in Volhynia,
where the German re-enforcements are i'm
parting more and more stubbornness to the
Austro Hungarian resistance. and even have
enabled the assumption OF counter move
ment in the centre southeast of Kove
The day brought no abatement in the
furious fighting which has been going on
for week on the Kolkl-Sokul sector of the
Strypa, Their advance halted by General
Won Llnsingen, the Russians tried again to
break the Teuton front in an effort to
drive through to Kovel, but, according to
Berlin, all the onslaughts failed Between
Sokul and Liniewka, where the Russians
are trying to force a crossing of the
Stokhod, the only natural obstacle sepa-
rating them from Kovel, the fighting was
particularly ferocous The Teutons held
their front against all attacks.
Further south. on both sides of the
Turtja River, west of Lutzka, and down
to the town of Gcrochow, north of the
Galician border line, the Russians, accord
ing to the German War Office, were driven
further back.
