Prince Leopold of Bavaria is making the most of the disaffection that un- der extremist influence developed in the Russian army in northeastern Ga licia, and is pressing into the Russian lines along q p mile front between Zlochoff and Tarnopol.
 The Russians were in retreat in this sector all day Friday, according to their own accounts, which lays the brunt of the blame upon the failure of certain commands to obey orders. The Russians burned villages and wrought havoc in the countryside as they fell back, the Berlin statement reports.
 Apparently toward evening the Rus sian commanders were able to rally their forces and check the retreat. as the Petrograd report speaks of Rus sian pause along a definite line. Sat urday evenings supplementary govern ment statement. however, says that 1d- vancing Teutons had reached the Vii cinity of Tarnopol.
 Berlin announces the recapture of positions north of BrZeZany lost at the beginning of the Russian offensive on July l, the capture of the village of Babin, south of the Dniester and of heights near Novica, on the front of General Korniloffs advance on the Lomnica front.

Yester- days official statement recorded no changes of ground.
