as guns and many machine guns We're
taken from the Austro- Germans. The
Russian attacks northwest of Stanis-
lau continue.
The Austrian cavalry has swept on
II the west and ras reached the Luv-
ka river Berlin and Vienna ADMIT
the succes7 of the Russian thrust. but
bath capitals claim that the advance
was checked by German reserves
thrown in apparently to save the Aus
trian positions.
A further advance Of the Russians to-
wards the Siwka river. 30 miles west ot
Halicz, would make most perilous the re-
tention BY the Austro- Germans OF their
present line from Zlochof 70 Halicz, and
would compel at least the evacuation OF
Halicz. That their lanking movement
NAV have added security, the Russians
have been attacking the Austrians along
the Bistritza- Solotvinak. southeast of
Stanislau. but with no important gain Of
ground as yet.

Again the French have thrown back
German efforts to reach the line Of the
Chemin des Danes. The German crown
prince has been reckless in his expendi-
ture of men. but all to no avail. as the
French still hold tight to the important
positions south OF Laon.
Along the British front In France, on
the Austro-Italian front and in Macedo-
mia, there has been little infantry ac-
tivity. only raids and accomplishing en-
gagements being reported. Along the Me-
