I0N ID LEMBERG,
 CRY OF RUSSIANS
Kolomea, the Key, Receiving At
 tentiOn Of Cars Soldiers

Petrograd, June 27.-With the elimination of General Planzer's army in Bukowina, the attention of General Brusiloffs forces in this section is now directed upon Kolomea, the key to the defense of Lem berg on the south. The occupation of KimpOlung and Kuty has opened the way 10 KoIc- mea, and already 8 result of this last recorded victory of the Russians is becoming evident in the forward movement of General Lechitzi<v on the road from Sniatyn to KolomeaL to a point ten miles from the latter town.
 It Is evident from the report of prisoners and booty taken that the Austrians defended Kimpolung with considerable forces. They were at tackled by Russian troops which had covered the thirty miles from Gura- humora in two days and were rushed into the fight with scarcely an hours rest. According to Russian military authorities, their assault added the last touch needed to complete the dem oralization of General Pflanzer's forces, which now are entirely cut off from communication with General Count von Bothmer's army group on the Stripa river to the north.
 Bothmer's Position Perilous.
 General von Bothmers position is regarded as precarious as a result of this operation. His right flank has been completely uncovered, and mili- tary critics believe he will without doubt be forced to fall back along his whole 1ine
 The Teutonic forces appear to have been able to stop to some extent the preaching of their front in the kovel region, where a large element Of Ger man troops has stiffened the Austrian lines, and it is evident that prepara- ttons are being made for desperate stand at Brody, on the southern wing of that position. Nevertheless in the face of stiff counterattacks, the Rus sians have been able to push wedge in the direction of Vladimir Volynski to a point which threatens that town and endangers Brody, the gateway to Lemberg from the east According to the military expert of the Bourse Gazette, the Germans have taken full charge in this region and have filled up the ranks of Archduke Ferdinand's S broken army, which alone has lost 10000 men since the beginning of the Russian advance.

FRENCH RECAPTURE
 PART OF THIAUMONT
Airmen Busy Dropping Bombs on
 German Ships Of Belgium

Paris, June 27, 12:30 D. m.-The French have recaptured another seo- ton of the trenches at Thiaumont in the Verdun sector, according to an official statement issued by the war office today. The struggle for the possession of the village of Fleury is still progressing. Allied aeroplanes dropped sixty-fve shells on German ships near the Belgian coast.
 The statement follows:
 ''On the left bank of the Mouse a night attack with grenades against one of our trenches west of Hill BOA was repulsed easily.
 "On the right bank local operations during the night enabled us to make further progress in the region of Thiaumont work. The fighting was rather spirited in the region of F'1eury, where the situation IS un- changed. On the heights of the Mouse a grenade attack against our positions near MouilIy broke down under our fire.
 "In Belgium three of our aero- planes which were engaged in a reconnaissance, fired sixty five bomb bs on German ships near the Belgian coast.'

TURKS FASTENING
 TO SUPPRESS ARABS
Accounts From East Show Uprising Was Result of Carefully Pre-
 pared Plan.

London, June 27.-Accounts of the uprising against the Turks in Arabia show that the operations which re- suited in the capture of the principal seaports and other cities by the rebels apparently were carefully conceived and systematically carried out.
 It appears from news received in Cairo, says Reuters correspondent in that city, that the Grand Sheriff of Mecca raised three armies, the conn., mands of which he gave to his three eldest sons. The first of these, under Sherif F'orisae, Is besieging Medina, the city containing the tomb of Mo- hammed; the second, under Sherlf AbdulIa, occupied Taif, 65 miles southeast of Mecca, making prisoners of most of the garrison, while the third captured Jiddah, the chief sea- port of Arabia, imprisoning it's de- lenders. While besieging Jiddah the Arabian forces warned the garrison not to destroy it's arms and ammua1i- ton, and consequently @ battery of field guns, numerous rifles and quick firers, and a great quantity of ammu- milton were captured.
 Apparently says the dispatch, the Grand Sherif and his followers de- cided to suppress all traces of the Turks in their country, cutting the telegraph lines, tearing up the road bed of the Hijaz railway, and destroy ing the stations for nearly one hun dred miles to the north in order to prevent the Turks from sending rein forcements.
 It is related, adds the correspond ent, that when Enver Pasha visited
 Hijaz five months ago the Grand Sherif told him he was an ignorant youth who had dragged Turkey to her | destruction.
 The news from Syria shows that the Turks are hurrying up reinforceme ents l over the Hijas railway. The fight at Medina is likely to be protracted, as the garrison is fairly strong and vel
 equipped.
 The Turkish military authorities l the dispatch adds are taking the at | fair in the most serious fashion. IT l Egypt the news from Mecca ha:
 aroused more attention than any other event in the war.
