BERLIN. August 23.-Despite de-
termined attacks on many sections
of the front in Volhynia, Galicia and
the Carpathian regions the Russians
have been unable to make gains of
ground from the Teutonic forces.
The Russian losses in fighting
along the Stokhod, northeast of Kovel
particularly, are heavy.
A correspondent of the Cologne
Gazette on the Russian front says
that in the fighting near Horodenka.
East Galicia, early in August, the
Russians lost 5000 killed, while the
total German losses were 80. The
Gazette says that il the enemy con
tinues to squander such enormous
quantities of ammunition, in addition
to suffering heavy losses, final ex
haustion is inevitable.
