LEMBERG IS SAVED,
So Berlin THINKS
Success Is Claimed for Ger
mans After Days of Sc
verest Fighting.

BERLIN. October 26. by wireless to
Sayville.-Reviewing the battle be-
tween the Austro-Germans and the
Russians on the River Narayuvka. in
Galicia, the military critic of the Over
seas News Agency writes: 'The battle
of Narayuvka, after seven days of vio-
lent fighting, has terminated complete
ly in Germany's favor The renewed
Russian attempt to reach Lemberg. the
Galician capital, once more has failed,
in spite of gigantic sanguinary sac
rifices. The Russians in this sector
advanced across the Narayuvka in the
form of a bend about two kilometers
deep and four kilometers long, Within
this bend were the dominating heights
of 345 and $40. which offered an ex-
cellent base for the Russian offensive
to advance.
The Russians on October Is made
three attacks without success on the
front between Lipica and Skomorochy.
A new attack, which was still more
violent, followed on the 18th, when
$4,000 men were sent forward. Soldiers
from Pomerania and Brandenberg re-
pulsed this attack in sanguinary fash
ion. The Germans then in turn at
tackled. They captured thirty-six Of
ficers and 1887 men and took the Rus
sian position for a depth of one kilo-
meter.
Storm Russian Positions.
ION October 10 the Pomeranians took
height 345 by storm, including the
Russian intrenchments, reaching the
trenches situated to the south of the
height. Many machine guns were cap
tured and fifteen Russian officers and
"On October $50. height 80 was
stormed. Strong Russian reserves made
a counter attack against height 80
and the Sancov work, but they were
unable to stay on the west bank of
the Narayuvka, being definitely thrown
to the other bank.
This second great Narayuvka battle
did not help the Russians to approach
their aim-Lemberg. The contrary hap
pened. They lost the strong bridge
head position on the Narayuvka. The |
river bend. the heights 345 and 80. the
field entrenchments and the network of
trenches now are covered with Russian
corpses.
The Russians during the seven days
battle lost more than 5000 men as well |
as a large number OF machine guns, |
mine throwers and pioneer material. |
