Petrograd, Aug. 21.-By suddenly
shifting his attack to the Stochod river
front northeast of Kovel, General
Brusiloff has caught the Germans off
their guard and is driving westward
for substantial gains
Realizing that General Bothmer's
army had been crushed. the Germans
began stripping their northern front
of every available man and sending
them southwark to defend Lemberg.
1t was while this troop movement was
under way that Brusiloff, struck
further north with his right wing. His
| thanking attack menaces both Kovel
| and the German army at Pinsk.
| The Russian frontal attacks upon
KoveI have practically ceased. The
Germans have sunk turrets in the
| marSny ground west of the city. These
! turrets are practically invisible to Rus
sian air scouts and must be overcome
! by strategy, rather than by massed in
fantry onslaughts. Consequently the
line west of Kovel has remained sta
| tionary for some time.
Moves Like Pendulum.
| During the lull on the KoveI front,
the Russian armies under Generals
| Kaledin, Sakharoff and Letitscky
| swung westward like Il deadly pendu-
lum from Kovel, as a pivot. crushing
| Bothmer's army along the Stripa. Like
the movement of pendulum the ad-
vance was proportionately faster in
| the extreme south. Expert opinion
here believes that more depends upor
Brusiloff's campaign than the mere
stand or fall of Lemberg and Kovel
