RUSSIANS. BREAK
TEUTONIC FRONT
Climax to Colossal Battle
Reached in Volhynia.

CBy the International News Service)
London, Oct. 15.-After a colossal bat
tie Of two weeks in which the losses on
both sides are numbered in the thousands,
the Russians have succeeded In breaking
into the German front south OF Lutsk in
Volhynia. The victory was won in the
region Of the village Of Korytniza, and
a number Of prisoners were taken by
Gen. Brusiloff's forces, which, although
subjected to fierce counter-attacks, sue
ceeded in consolidating and firmly hold
ing all their gains.
The region of Korytniza has been the
scene during the last few weeks Of some
OF the greatest pitched battles Of the
war. It was only after a bombardment
Of tremendous violence and the arrival
of fresh reserves that Gen. BrusilOff sue
ceeded in breaking into the AnglO-Ger-
man position.
Berlin does not admit the Russian sue
cess, the first report of which is made in
an Official statement from Petrograd. The
German war office states that the Rus
slams carried out a tremendous artillery
bOmbardment on a front extending from
siriavka, on the Stokhod. as far as the
region east of Gorochoy. but that the
Cars infantry attacks were repulsed
The German war office also reports
fresh activity by the Russians in their
Lemburg campaign from the southeast
All their attacks in this region were re-
pulsed, the German grand headquarters
says.
The Petrograd official report of the
fighting follows:
In the evening Of October Is, after a
bombardment of our positions in the
region Of SkorObOv, the enemy launched
ar attack on our first line trenches, but
was repused with great losses as the
result Of our counter-attack.
In the region north OF RorytniZa, our
gallant detachment, as the result Of a
stubborn battle, carried the enemy
trenches and captured two machine guns
and a number Of prisoners. Several
fierce consecutive counter-attracks were
made with the bayonet, but these all
were repelled with heavy losses to the
enemy"
Neither in the DObrudja nor in Cali
Cfa have the Russians resumed the at
tack. Evidently every available soldier
IS being rushed to the Roumanian front
For the outcome of the battle already
under way will have a tremendous moral
effect The overrunning OF Roumania
might keep Greece out of the esslr and in
spire the Germans to new ennrtx
Along the Macedonian front little
activity is reported But it seems hardly
likely that this Iul will continue.

Paris. oct. 1.-THE financial superiority
of the United States in war-striCken
Europe will continue for some time after
the establishment Of peace, owing to the
great demands for American products to
restore the ruins, says the Paris Temps.
New York will be the financial and COM
Inercial center of the world until England
has paid her American debts. A COM

Temps, will enable England quickly to

At the beginning of the war the United

Europe is now the debtor.
The influx Of gold into the United States
from Europe earlier in the war caused an

the cntene allies credit and facilities in
order to check this rise.
