New york, July 11-Having brok-
en- the strong Austro-German line il
are pursuing forward from Halicz to-
ward Lemberg. the capital OF Galicia,
and from Stanislau, south of HalicZ
westward toward the line OF the
Dniester.
After the capture of Halicz, on the
front from Halicz to Zolotvin, abeut
80 miles to the south, General horn-
iloff forced the Austro Germans to
continue their retreat. In their adj
vance from Halicz the Russians
forced the fleeing enemy across the
Lomnica river and occupied two
towns on the western bank OF the
river The next natural barrier is tie
River Stoka, about six miles west OF
the Lomnica
Capture Many Germans.
South and west Of Stan slau, the
Russians have reached the Posiecz-
Lesiuvka- KarmacZ line, the central
point of which Lesiuvka, is four
miles west of the river BystritZa.
This line is about seven miles east Of
Kaliusz, the nearest large town west
OF Stanis au, and which is situated
in a bend of the Stoka river. The
extension CT the Russian fighting
lire to Zolotvin brings the battle
ground into the foothills OF the Car
pathians.
Yesterday the Russians captured
1000 more prisoners and 80 guns
bringing their total captured from
July s to 10 to more than 10000 Of
ficers and men and so guns. A large
amount e machine guns and war ma

no details of Tuesdays fighting in
Galicia, merely saying "movemel1

ecuted as planned.
Germans Claim Advance.
On the Belgian coast esat O. Dun
kirk the British and Germans are
fighting again along the User. the
scene Of many hard-fought battles. By
destroying the bridges across the
User between Newport and the North
sea coast, the Germans We're able to
advance and occupy the isolated sec
-
1900 prisoners and the pen atration
of 600 yards a 'one a front Of 400
yards.
Further inland, near Lombaertzyde
the Germans did not have as much
success. After gaining some advanced
positions. the British threw the at
tackers back to their own lines by a
counter-attack. Whether the German
effort is another attempt to reach
kirk of Calais or is merely a stroke to
offset the expected British attack,
has not developed.
The latest British official statement
does not mention additional infantry
fighting in this sector and says the
German artillery fire has diminished.
The German attempts southeast Of
Arras and in the vicinity Of Lens on
Wednesday We're without success.
Violent artillery fighting marked
Wednesday on the Aisne and Cham
payne fronts in France and east on
the Mouse in the Verdun region
Northwest of Selo, IN the Carso, the
Italians have occupied the Austrian
town of Dolina
According to brief telegraphic ac-
counts of the bombing operations at
Constantinople the attack was one of
the NEST successful of the kind dur
ing the war.
The British aviators confined them
selves strictly to military detectives.
The airplanes We're over the city
nearly an hour, carefully picking out
their marks and descending to an al
titude of less than 300 yards for re-
leases of bombs.
The Goeben, which recently has
been annoyingly active against the
Russians, was the center of the attack
with an entirely satisfactory result
and it is safe to presume she will
be out of action for several months
The War Office situated on q hill,
was also an easy target. Among the
damaged enemy ships was a converted
liner, which was used as the head
quarters of the staff.
