LONDON, September 9.-The
fall of Halicz, southeast of Lem
berg, in Galicia, appears imml-
nent. according to unofficial dis
patches from Petrograd. The
Austrians are reported to be
blowing up the forts in Halicz,
and the Russians are said to
have occupied some of them. 1t is
further unoficially reported
that the Russians on the left

According to reliable reports
that reached here tonight the
greater part of the garrison al
ready has retreated to the
northwest along the railroad
which runs to Lemberg.
Austrian Forts in Ruins.
The great ring of forts which hedged
in the Galician city is now a mass of
s:Eoking ruins. Protruding into the
swift current of the Dniester is a
tangled mass of wreckage that was the
big span linking together the north
aud south sections of the city. On the
left bank of the river the shell-torn
walls of the Halicz railroad station look
down on the ruins of cars and tracks
and other rolling stock.
The Russians are in possession of the
entire left bank of the stream opposite
the city. Their heavy guns are already
in position and are raking the whole
area with an unceasing fire. At some
places Gen. Letchitskys troops, accord :
ing to the reports. have forced the
Dniester and have established themselves
amid the ruins of the forts which the
Austrians destroyed as they retired.
Preparations are going on with all
swiftness for the transport of strong
Russian forces to the right bank and
the subsequent occupation of the whole
city. Meanwhile, as the Teutons fall
back from their last stronghold before
Lernperg they are being forced to aban-
don most of the supplies saved from the
city.

Puts Lemberg in Peril.

There is little doubt that the latest
stroke OF the cars commanders IN
Galicia has paved the way for the i'm
mediate capture Of Lemberg. Nowhere
have the Teutons got as powerful a line

From this point the Russian advance
should be swift and overwhelming.
