TEUTONS OPEN OFFENSIVE
IN GALICIA: ATTACKS FAIL,
RUSSIAN WAR OFFICE SAYS

PETROGRAp. oct. s3.--Austro-Germa
forces opened new offensive movement
on the northeastern frontier of Galicia on
Sunday. The war once announced today
that the attacks were delivered north OF
Brody. but that all failed.
LONDON. oct. e3.-The sixth day Of
continuous fighting In the Halicz sector Of
the Gnlician front saw the Russians give
way littIe before the furious onslaughts
Of the enemy. German infantry, accord
ing to the Berlin war Office. drove a wedge
between the villages OF Svistelnik and
Skomorochy. on the NarayuVka River line.
and swept the Cars troops from most Of
the territory they had held on the west
bank OF that stream.
Petrograd reports that tho heights and
woods between those two positions changed
hands several times In the course OF the
desperate engagement. but states that all
the Teutou attacks were rolled back.
II does not seem improbable that the
Russian report is incomplete and that the
Teutons have won n success in this region.
In the last three days. despite the almost
overwhelming massed assaults with which
I.etchitsky's troops battered all their lines,
the Germans and Austrans succeeded In
moving forward at certain points and
wrestling from the Russians the key posi-
tlons along the river Dominating heights
that fell into their hands In this methodical
counter-ofrensive undoubtedly brought
them victory in yesterdays more general
movement.
