Austro-German Offensive on Eastern Front Is Slowing Down as Slavs Make Strong Stand to Save Brody.
VIOLENT BATTLE IS
 RAGING NEAR TYRES
Resumption of Flanders Alt tack on Large Scale Is Ex- pected Momentarily = AL lies Retake Lost Ground.

@ U soola Q are lO U exhibit increased resisting power IN in the area of the Austro-German
 offensive on the eastern front while in the west the relentless Brit ish and French pressure is slowing results in the further recession Of the German line in Flanders.
 An example Of what seems to be the improved morale of the Russians on the Galician front is provided by Pet rograd's report on the Teutonic attack at Brody. northeast of Lemberg, which obviously had been in preparation for several days. The assault was started on Thursday, resulting in heavy fight ing as the dense waves of Teutons swept forward but ended in what the Russian official statement character izes as a complete failure. The Rus sian forces still hold a considerable portion of Galician soil. There ap- pears to be no question of any lack of determination on the Russo-Ruman- ian offensive, however. and at some points the joint entente armies are on the aggressive. Thus, near the Russo Rumanian frontier, the Austro-German troops were forced to retreat in places, with the loss of 400 men in prisoners, in one case being pushed back across the Putna river.
 Field Marshal von Mackensen's of fensive in southern MaldaSia seems to be giving command to the greatest concern at present-the highly import ant line of railway communications along the western Moldavian front is threatened by it. Apparently the drive is aimed at the railway junction of Pantzin, possession of which would cut off the branch railway which con- meets the two lateral lines of com munication along this front. The bat tie is being waged along the Such itza river, across which von Macken- sen has forced his way to the west of Pokshani-Ocna railway line. To the east of the railway in the more crucial sector, however. his attacks apparent ly have been less successful.
 The Flanders battle, while not yet resumed along the whole front, has been raging violently east of Ypres. The British gain of ground in the Westhoek region in Fridays attack was maintained in its entirety against six violent German counter attacks delivered Friday night. In addition, General Haig's troops, on the right flank, where the complete objective was not gained in the first attack. were able to move their lines forward during the night, gaining considerable ground
 They are now we'll established on the dominating positions seized in the Friday assault.
 French troops Friday night recap tured most of the ground taken from them the day previous by the Germans in the St Quentin region. They also recaptured an important trench the crown princes forces had won recent ly south of Allies, on the Aisne front, and broke up a German attack on a two-mile front in the Carnillet region in the Champagne. The Germans managed to hold onto a 50-yard strip of trenches they had penetrated north of CarniIlet, but otherwise the French lines were kept intact.
 Arthur Henderson, British labor leader and member of the British cab met, has resigned from the ministry and his resignation has been accept ed MT. Henderson's attitude at the labor conference on Friday. in favor of sending delegates to Stockholm, is said to have led to his resignation.
