LONDON, June 20 Stanley Washburn,
correspondent Of the Times, telesraphs
an interview with Gen. Brlsiloff under
date OF June IS, quoting the Russian
General as follows;
our sweeping successes are not the
PRODUCT of chance or of Austrian weak
ness, but they represent the application
uI ali the lessons we learned in warfare
AGAINST the Germans. The principal ele-
nent Of success is the absolute coordina-
ton OF all armies.
"On the entire front the attack began
In the same hour. and 1t was. impossible
for the enemy to shift his troops from
one quarter to another. AS our attacks
we're pressed equally at all points.
THE most important fighting has been
IN the sector before Rovno. Here we
made our greatest advances. which are
strikins seriously a. the strategy OF the
whole enemy front
If We are abe TO take kovel rail
way centre extraordinarily useful for in
tercommunicatioNs OF the Germans and
