hynia, from the Austrians, the Rus
slams are pressing their adversaries
westward. In numerous places not
only have the Russians gained the
banks of the Ikwa and Sly rivers but
have crossed the streams and contln-
ued their offensive against their foes.
In the region of Kovel, midway be-
tween Lutsk and rest-I.itovsk and
in the vicinity of Rovno, southeast of
the fortress, the Russians have begun
actions against the Austro-Hungar-
ians,
Likewise in Galicia there has been
no let-up in the Russian attacks
against the soldiers of the dual mon
archy, from whom they have captured
along the lower reaches Of the Stripa
river heavily fortified positions. In
the fighting the Russians have mater

Considerable activity has been
shown by the Germans against the
Russians on the northern sections of
the Russian front, where the German
guns have heavily bombarded the line
along the Dvina TO the lake region

London.
The italians to the south and south
east OF Trent continue to keep the
Austrians from further advances.
South and southwest of Asiero at

positions were entirely repulsed, ac-
cording to Rome, while along the La

batteries.
Northwest of Trent in the Ortler re-
gion the Italians have attacked and
captured several points Of vantage
from the Austrians. farther south in
the Chiese valley have repulsed Aus

Hampshire survivors Found.
Although it had been believed that
the entire ships company of the
cruiser Hampshire was lost when that
vessel sank while carrying Earl
Kitchener to Russia, twelve men men
have drifted ashore on a raft.
All exports of coal TO Greece have
