LOYAL Slave Makes Futile
Attemps to Check Drive

Apparently the turn in the tide by
the Russians in East Galacia is be-
ginning. On several sectors the
loyal troops have halted and now are
facing the Austro-Germans and offer
ing resistance as best they can with
their badly depleted forces.
Although the stands they have
made has az yet been unsuccessful
in holding back to any great extent
the numerically superior Austro-Ger-
man armies, they serve to show that
the spirit Of loyalty is still alive in
many OF the men Of General Kornil-
offs contingents and that 1t is not
their purpose to surrender further
terrain without a contest.
One OF the main attempts of the
Russians to hold back the enemy has
been on the heights east Of the river
Zbracz, which flow along the border
between Galacia and Russia, but de-
spite the resistance offered. they have
been compelled by overwhelming
numbers to cede ground to the Aus
tro-Germans who crossed the stream.
Teutons Invade Bukowinn.
The Teutons also have crossed the
Galacian frontier and now are invad-

tive being the town Of Seletyn. while

The Rumanians and Russians
fighting near the northwestern Dor
der of Rumania continue to press
forward in the Casin and Putna val
leys, having captured six additional
villages and added materially to the
number of men and guns captured.
Fifty German spies disguised as Rus

been caught and shot.
Mass Many Guns in Flanders.
There has been considerable
falling off in the intensity of the
British artillery fire on the Flanders
front, due, according to Berlin, ito
