LONDON, September 2.--Following
the heavy assaults at the western
front by the French and British, the
past three months, to break through
the German lines, there is a lull in the
activities Of the Allies which presages
preparations for another thrust north
towards Belgium.
But reports from Petrograd, how
ever, indicate that the offensive at the
Eastern front is being pushed with re-
newed fury and the Russian armies are
coming in contact with the forces Of
the Central Powers all the way from
Volhynia in Galicia TO the Rumanian
border in the province Of Bukowina.
The hordes of the MuscoSite govern
ment, after desperate fighting, have
succeeded in occupying a series of i'm
Portant heights in the Carpathian
mountains and are sweeping steadily
westward along the Rumanian border,
'cesumably for the purpose of forming
a junction with King Ferdinand s
army and making combined attack
on the flank of the Austro- German
Bul0aTi8n ranks.
Berlin Admits Successes
Berlin authorities admit that the cam
rdSgn of the Russians west of TaruOpol
has been successful and that the
Cars army has obtained a better po
sition- for its move towards LembPrg,
which has been the objective of the
big eastern offensive.
All efforts of the Russ forces north
Of this point, and PARTICULARLY ia the
neighborhood of Lutsk where con
tinuel attempt is being made to break
through the Carpathians and sweep
on to Lcmbcrg frtm the northeast, the
German officials report have been r"
pulsed. They dec AIRED that no break
has been made in the TeutOn lines on
the heights of the Carpathians.
Vienna, however, admits that the
rush of the Russian forces has been so
great in the Dneister sector, south tt
Zlota and Lipas, the Austro-G German
forces have been obliged to fdll back
to their second line of defenses. The
fighting along this sector has been
furious and apparently indicates that
the Cars generals are hurting their
mightits st efforts against this front in
order to gain a junction with the
Rumanian allies.
Slavs Hammer At Turks
In Armenia the Slav forces keep
hammerng away at the lines of the
Turks In their move west from ERIN
gan the army of the Grand Duke
Nicholas encountered heavy force of
Pasha Enver Bey's troops and after a
heavy artillery duel, followed by reck-
less infantry charges, the Turkish
troops were repulsed.
Constamtiucple, however; issued an
official report last night to the effect
that tn" activities near Ognott in Ar
meuia, had been disastrous to the grand
dukes army and that the Ottoman
army had made prisoners 5000 Of the
Russian soldiers. The report further
states that two entire Russian divi'
sions had been routed and that the
progress Of the Russian campaign

checked and that the army of the Gar
