 wina and Ga1icia south of the Dnies- ter are now within ten miles of Kolo- mea.
 German Attacks Fail in North. There has been intense artillery
 fre,'' says the official report, sin many
 sectors around Jakobstadt and Dvinsk | Con the Dvina front). In the region | east of Horodyszczki, north of Baran- ovitchi (south of the Niemen front) |, after a violent bombardment of our ! trenches Sunday night, the enemy took the offensive, but was repulsed At the same time, on the S1utsk Road the enemy attempted to approach our trenches on the Scharas but was re- pulsed.
 Northeast of Lake Vygonoskoye l (south of the sSchara, north of the
 Prfpet marshes), yesterday, at noon, | the Germans attacked the farm five versts (about three niles) southwest l of Lipsk. They were repulsed- The
 enemy renewed his attack at noon on a greatly extended front under cover l of heavy and light artillery.
 Ion the styr Gin Volhynia), from
 Kolki to Sokul, the Germans are bonn l barding our trenches with heavy ar
 ti1lery, and have attacked locally, but
 everywhere were successfully repuls- | ed. Repeated mass attacks near Lin i ievka, on the iStokhod (near the Ko- l vel-Rovno Railway, twenty-seven miles southeast of KoveD were re-
 pulsed. One of our companies pur-
 sued the enemy half a verst and took 1 fifteen German prisoners.
 l Toward Lutsk and further south
 the situation is unchanged. We re-
 pulsed an attack on saturze Con the l Lutsk-VIadirnir road, twenty-seven
 miles west of Lutsk),
 Cossacl1s Press Forward. | ssOn the reaches of the Dniester south of Buczacz our Don Cossacks, 1 having crossed the river fighting and overthrowing elements of the enemy's 1 advance guards, occupied the Villages 1 of Siekerghine and Petruve, captur- l ing five officers and $50 men. l Russian cavalry, after a fight, OCT l cupied the enemy< position near Pe- I zoritt, nine versts (six miles) west of l Kimpolung Gin the Carpathians, in l extreme Southern Bukowina).
 "We are also making progress l southward, approaching passes lead ing to Transylvania According to la t ter reports we captured large depots I of W ood and thirty-one abandoned l cars at the Molit and Frumos stations 1 on the -Rascka Railway 1 (Southern Bukowina)."
 | Kimpolung, guarding the entrance of Kirii Baba Pass from Southern | Bukowinag to Pennsylvania, was de- l,erable Austrian force, but the Rus 1 sians, who had covered the thirty I miles through the mountains from I Gurahumora in two days, attacked them with scarcely an hours rest and l drove them out of the town.
 l Phanzer and Bothmer in Peril. | Russian military, critics believe Gen. Phanzer's army which has now been completely separated from the rest of | the Austrian lines and rushed fifty miles south through the whole length l of Bukowina and into the mountains. l is now completely demoralized.
 | Gen. won Bothmer's position is also tregarded as precarfous. Since Gen. IPhanzer's army has been driven south This right flank is completely unpro- Etected. With the Russians moving twest to the south of him, on the Dniester, it is expected he will soon I have to fall back from the Stripa to the Ziota Lipa Or possibly the Gnila lLipa.
