RUSSIANS DEFEAT
FOE NEAR HALICz
Press Back Centre of the
Front North of the
Dniester.

London, Sept. 6.-The Russians have
pressed back the centre of the Austro-
German front between the Zlota Lipa
and the Dniester and have driven the
enemy back to the northwest. The total
number Of prisoners taken in this sec
tor has been increased to 4,5Oo, OF
whom 1000 are Germans, according TO
the Russian communique issued to-day.
The operation took place in the re-
zion of the Lower Gorodenka, north
ern tributary of the Dniester, and
marks another success for Russian
arms on the ring of steel that is slowly
closing in on Halicz, the southern gate
way to Lemberg.
In the wooded Carpathians the Rus
slams continue to advance. carrying
with apparently little opposition height
after height and effectually smothering
all enemy attempts to wrest back lost
ground by means of counter assaults.
Little Of the territory that lies IN the
shadow of the mountain wall remains
to be cleared by the Cars soldiers.
To-day's Russian official statement
says:
I'm the direction of Halicz, in the
region of the Lower Gorodenka, a left
tributary Of the Dniester, our troops
captured fortified position Of the
enemy and drove him TO the northwest.
The number of prisoners taken here so
far amounts TO $500 men, among whom
were about 1000 Germans.
an the wooded Carpathians our ad-
vance continues. Our troops have
captured a series of heights and have
repealed all repeated enemy counter
attacks"
The German report reads:
Group of Prince Leopold Of Ba-
varia-Russian attacks north Of the
Zlochof -Tarnopol railway line failed
under our fire.
Group of Archduke Charles Be
tween the Zlota Lipa and the Dniester
the Russians again began their attacks.
After vain storming attacks they final
ly pressed back the centre of our front:
an the Carpathians the enemy gained
a small advantage in the fighting al

Shypo. At many other places he at
tackled in vain"

The Ruruauians. however. are making

whether King Ferdinands line Will
hold depends In large part on how soon
the Russians can join the defence IN

manians will not relinquish the Danube
front without a hard struggle. II the
Bulgars hope TO reach Bucharest by a
swift stroke the greatest obstacle tney
must overcome is the Danube defence.
The battle continues here with in
crcasing fury. There are indications
that the Cars troops will soon be on
the Danube front in large numbers.

Italians Active in Albania.
Ia Albania the Italians are active,
utting into the Austrian line with pa
rol thrusts. They have pushed across
he Voyusa several times, destroying
nemy works and taking prisoners ana
hen falling back TO their original posi-
ions. This serves to weaken the Aus
riar line, and so prepare the way for
. greater effort. and at the same time
eep many Austrian troops engaged.
The Greek situation is further COM
Heated by the Italian advance into
ne interior Of Albania. The Italians
re driving forward into Northern
pirds, disregarding Greek authority
nd virtually taking control Of the
ountry. IT. this territory, too, the
italians have begun to build roads and
ortifed works, preparing, apparently,
or permanent occupation.
These steps have provoked great in
lignation among the Greeks. lnhab-
tants of the occupied region, accord
ne 20 reports from Athens, have sent
vigorous protest to King Constan-
inc and to the Allied ENJOYS at the
Greek capital.
OF the situation at Athens there
zones no word. By next week prob

lay was dispatch that Baron Won

,anda, who had been arrested by Allied
gents, would be permitted to leave

Cerman Announcement.

German Announcement.
Berlin, Sept. 6.-The German Off,
cial statement says:
The battle on both sides OF the
Somme continues with undiminished
intensity. Twenty-eight British and
French divisions are engaged in the at
tack. North of the Somme their at
tacks have been sanguinarily repulsed.
The enemy gained ground at small
places in limited areas. Clery is in his
hands.
South Of the river in a ding-dong in
fantry battle our first position has been
maintained against a fresh attack of
the French on a front from Barleux TO
south Of Chilly. Only there, where the
most advanced trenches had been en-
tirely destroyed, have they been evac-
uated. Later attacks have all been re-
pulsed with the most severe losses.
The Mecklenburg, Holstein and Saxon
regiments especially distinguished
themselves.
Up to last night, as the result OF the
two days battle south Of the Somme,
tkirty-one officers and 1,437 men, from
ten French divisions. and twenty-three
machine guns have been brought in.

The Germans are now reduced TO the
single route from Nesle for the ravl-
taillcment of the Roye sector, and Nesle
is only ten kilometres from Chaulnes.
Lacking natural advantages for the
organization of their defence, the Ger
mans made use OF the numberless
solidly constructed villages which
cover the region, turning them all into
forts.

German Reserves Flung Back.
The action yesterday took place in a
rain which had fallen persistently for
twenty-four hours, but the work OF the
artillery for the last three days had
prepared the road for the infantry
The attack began on the wood OF An
derlu. north of lie Forest, from which
the Germans during the night had at
tempted a counter attack. The Ger
mans had been driven back without
reaching the French lines, and at day
light the French took up the charge and
seized the wood.
The German reserves massed be-
hind the Paris-Lille route tried desper-
ately time and again to come to the
aid of their comrades, but the barrier
fire Of the French "seventy-tives" and
"105s" stopped them. The French, NOV

afternoon the troops in Ommiecourt
crossing the bridge seized from the
Germans, shook hands with their COM
