WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Aug. Especial: The
Austrians and Germans in Galicia
are still falling back before the ad-
vance of the Russians. who, accord
ing to %Petrograd. have made addi-
tional gains along the Sereth and
Zlota Lipa rivers and have captured
the strongly fortified town of Tus-
tobaby, northwest of the Dneister.
On the upper Sereth, however, the
Teutonic allies at some points on
their newly chosen line are holding
back the Russians with a vigorous
artillery fire.
Berlin says that south of Brody,
on the Lub and Graberka sector,
Russian attacks were put down with
heavy losses and that Russians who
had penetrated the Teutonic posi-
tions on the Zboroff-Konjucay line
northeast of Tarnopol were driven
off and 800 of them taken prisoners.
According to Vienna. a Russian at
tack southwest of Podkamien near
Brody ended with the field before
the Austro-German positions covered
with Russian dead.
No change took place Monday
along either the British or French
lines in France, bad weather hinder
ing the operations, which were con-
fined almost exclusively to artillery
duels.
According to Berlin. the British
have been expelled from trenches
over a front OF 700 yards southwest
of the Thiepval-Pozieres sector.
which they occupied Sunday.
On the Isonzo front. according to
Rome, the Italians have made still
further advances against the Aus
TRANS along the Carso plateau and
east of Hill No. 212. In the latter
sector another line of trenches was
penetrated and more men taken pris-
oner. In the Gorilla sector. Rome
says, the Austrian guns are being
busily employed against the Italians.
Here, according to Vienna. seven
charges by the Italians were put
down by the Austrians.
Petrograd reports a continuation
of the Turkish offensive on the Per
sian frontier, but asserts hat a re-
treat of the Turks has beer forced
on the southwest bank of Lake Van,
Turkish Armenia. through the fire
of the Russian flotilla on the lake.
The Turkish war office says the
Russians in Persia continue to be
driven back by the Ottoman troops
and hat in Armenia. north of Bitlis.
the Turks have made a further ad-
vance.
