All along the front fresh gains for the Russian troops and the capture of thousands of additional prisoners and of guns, machine guns and war supplies are claimed by the Russians. aThe aggregate of prisoners now exceeds 15O,000.
 While semi official advices from Pe- trograd give a report that the Aus trfans have evacuated Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina, the latest official communication from Austrian head quarters says the troops of Emperor Francis Joseph are making a stand north and east of the city and at both points have repulsed Russian attacks
 In the drive westward from the re- zion of Lutsk the Austrians are coun- ter-atfaclking or entrenching them- selves in new positions for a stand against the Russians.

Infantry attacks by the Germans have occurred along the Dvina river and in the lake region south of Dvinsik, but all Of these were repulsed, according to Petrograds
