RUSSIANS 10 MILES FROM
K0LOMEA; PLANNERS ARMY
COMPLETELY CUT OFF BY SLAvS

PETRoGRAD. June 27.-with the elm
ination of General Planners army in
Bukowina the attention Of General Brush
loff's forces in this section is now directed
upon Kolomea. the key to the defense of
LemberB on the south The occupation of
Kimpolung and Kuty has opened the way
to Kolomea, and already a result OF this
last recorded victory of the Russians is
becoming evident in the forward movement
Of General Letchitzky on the road from
Sniatyn to Kolomea to a point 10 miles
from the latter town.
1t is evident from the report of prisoners
and booty taken that the Austrlans de-
Tended Kimpolung with considerable forces.
They were attacked by Russian troops
which had covered the 80 miles from
Gurahumora in two days and were rushed
into the fight with scarcely an hours rest
According to Russian military authorities
their assault added the last touch needed
to complete the decentralization of General
Planners forces which now are entirely
cut off from communication with General
Count Won Bothmer's army group on the
Strypa River to the north.
General Won Bothmer's position Is re-
garded as precarious as a result of this
operation. His right flank has been COM
pletely uncovered and military critics be-
lieve he will without doubt be forced to
fall back along his whole line before Tar
nopol.
