PETROGRAD, July 17.-The pa- pers here ridicule the German ef- forts to excuse their defeats east and west. The declaration that Linsingen halted Brussiloff's ad- vance on the lower Lipa is so obvi- ously untrue that even the dis patches from the Russian general reporting that they are continuing their advance and sending fourteen thousand prisoners to the rear, taken in today's fighting across the lower Lipa, were not required to reveal this.
