Fast Russian Force Gives speedy Pur-

London. June 21.-Confirmation of
reports of cutting in two of General
Planners army in Bukowina are con-
tanned in dispatch to the Star from
Petrograd today.
when the Austrians retired from
Czernowitz," says the correspondent,
part of them retreating due south
along the Rumanian border and others
toward the Carpathians, their hope
was to have time to hold the Russians
on the fortified line running from
Kuty to Sereth, along the Rivers
Mikhodra and Sereth. But despite the
delay caused by the prolonged defense
of CZernowitz, General Letchitzsky
threw his reserves upon the heels of
the retreating Austrians at such speed
that he succeeded in reaching that line
sim ultaneouSly with them.
THE result was that General
Planners forces were cut in half mid
way between Kuty and Sereth at
Stroginet"
