Russians Are Galloping Ahead
Through Enemy Lines
With Fresh Victories
Each Day.
SOON TAKE sTANIsLAU
General Took Austrtans by Surprise
When He Whlrled His Troops
Forward to
Halitz.

PETROGRAD. Aug. 11.-Striking
westward with amazing rapidity, the
right wing of General Letchitsh's
army has reached the Dniester river
south of Mariampol, which is only
ten miles from the important town Of
Halitz, 1t was Officially announced to-
day.
News Of this important success
temporarily ovcrshadowed the adj
vance against the city of Stanislau,
south of Halitz, whose fall Is now
regarded as matter Of but few
hours. The war Office announced that
bridges are being thrown across the
Bistritza river, three miles east Of
Stanislau, preparatory to an advance
on the city and also reported fresh
Victories on the Sereth river. fifty
miles east of Lemberg where several
villages and woods were captured.
The town Of Halitz lying at the rail-
way crossing OF the Dniester and but
fifty-eight miles southeast of Lem
berg, has been described as the key
to any operation against the Galician
capital from the southwest. 1t was
expected that General Letchitsky will
first take Stanislau, then move north
ward against Halitz. The Germans
are prepared for the most desperate
fighting at Dneister river where they
expect to block further advance of
the czar's forces against Lemberg.
Letchitsky evidently took the enemy
by complete surprise. Throwing
force across the Zlota river, north
east of Stanislau, he began swift
advance against Halitz on the north
bank Of the Dniester. The official
staten ent issued yesterday placed the
advanced guards thirty miles from
Halitz. Today's official statement re-
ported the Dniester reached south Of
Mariampol, which is directly north of
Stanislau and only ten miles from
Halitz.
This unexpected maneuver not only
is expected to force the immediate
evacuation of Stanislau, but it also
endangers the position of a large
Austro-G German force south of the
Dniester.
On the Sereth river front, despite
desperate Austro-German counter at
tacks, General Sakharof continued
his advance yesterday. Besides cap
turing several villages and woods, the
Russians reached commanding ridge
on the right bank. In the last week
the Russians have captured 268 Off
GERS and $4,000 men on this front
| The advances continue on the
whole front southeast of HalitZ, the
war office announced the Russians
having captured $500 more prisoners.
Fighting is now going on at several
points.

ROME, Aug. 1.-THE Austrians lost
more than fifty thousand in killed,
wounded and prisoners in the two
days OF fighting that preceded the fall
OF Goritz, according to dispatches re-
ce1ved here today. This number was
equally divided between prisoners
and casualties on the field.
East OF Goritz, Italian cavalry con-
t1nues to press the pursuit of the re.
treating Austrians and is now re-
ported to have reached the Lubiana
plains. The Italian force that turned
south from Goritz TO drive the enemy
out OF the bend of the Isonzo, has en-.
countered most stubborn resistance
on the Carso plateau where severe
fighting Is going on. The main body
OF Italians that crossed the Isonzo,
apparently has not yet joined in the
pursuit. All dispatches from the Cor
1tz front declare that only O part of
General Cadorna's troops on that
sector are now engaged with the re.
treating Austrians. Austrian prison
ers report that the Italian blow at
Gorltz came as a complete surprise.
Their commanders believed that
the Italian Isonzo front had been
stripped of both men and munition
supplies to repel the Austrians in the
Terntino and anticipated no attack
against Goritz for at least two
months.
Reserves were rushed up to the
Goritz positions Sunday night after
the Italian attack began. They found
the advanced Austrian positions
blown to pieces and the Italians pour
ing through numerous breaches in the
Austrian line.
