Advance Of Russians Is
Notable for Number OF
Prisoners Taken and for
Enormous Captures OF
Guns and Ammunition

From the wooded region of south
west Russia to the Rumanian frontier
the Russians are keeping up their tre-
mendous offensive against the Austro-
Hungarians who have been reinforced
on several sectors by Germans.
The advance of the Russians is not
able for the large number of prisoners
taken and the enormous captures of
guns. machine guns, ammunition and
other war stores. In the week that
has ELAPSED since they first threw
their attacks against the Austrians,
tie Russians report that they have
captured approximately 11S,000 officers
and mer and forced back the organized
lines of their antagonists from the re-
gion Of the Volhynian fortress triangle
; to Rumania.
Having previously captured Lutsk,
the Russians now have retaken Dubno,
the second Of the fortresses in the Vol
hynian triangle held by the Austrians
and a repressing the retreating Aus
trians westward In Galicia, and Bu-
kowin, progress also has been made by
the Russians. The Austrians admit
Tie withdrawal of their forces in
northeastern BukOwina.
The Austrians all along the battle
front are putting up a stubborn resist
ance. especially east of Kolki. lying to
the north of Lutsk. where they have
forced back Russian advanced ele-
melts across the StyT river and in the
region of Torgovitsv at Styr south o.
Lutsk. where q sanguinary battle is in
progress.
Since Saturday night wnen three
