Infantry Leave Trenches
to Follow Artillery
Attacks
Brusilof on Way
Back to Lemberg
Plans to Drive Wedge Be-
tween German and Aus
trian Armies

London, July 1.-The Russian offen-
sive launched yesterday on an imme-
diate front of eighteen and half miles
continued to-day with new engagements
developing on large part of the bat
tie line. It is plainly an extension OF
the campaign for Lemberg, the Galician
capital, successfully begun by General
Brusilof last summer and halted for
lack Of a she'll supply
Both Berlin and Vienna admit that
the Teutons are on the defensive
against the Russirn storming attacks
all along the line.
According TO the bulletins from Ber-
lin, the Russian infantry has left its
trenches under cover of violent bonn
bsrdment on the whole front from the
upper reaches of the Strypa River TO
the Narsyuvka. a small tributary Of the
Zlota Lipa. This embraces the terri
tory north and south of Brzezany, a
town fifty miles southeast of Lemberg.
and the immediate Russian objective.
But Brusilofr's artillery is maintain
ing an intensive fire from almost south
of the Pripet marshes, IN Volhynia, TO
, Stanisau, frort Of nearly 200 miles.
Berlin says that there have been no In
fantry assaults. except in the southern
centre Of this line up TO the present"
which suggests Teutonic expectation
that the drive Is about to extend over a
wider area.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-02
Russians Make Night Attacks

According 70 the German War Office,
the Russians yesterday were driven
back everywhere with heavy losses, but
it is admitted that there were night at
tacks in force on both sides Of Brzezany
and near Zwyzyn. The night bulletin
from Berlin declares that further Rus
sian attacks developed to-day near
Koninchy and between the Zlots Lips
and the Narayuvka, but though heavy
fighting is acknowledged no mention IS
made Of the result.
There have been no official reports
from Petrograd, but this is indicative
of an extensive battle. Last summer,
while Brusiloff was carrying out his
great eruption from the Fortress OF
Lutsk, it frequently was his custom to
pass an entire week while making
steady gains without reporting on his
advance.
The opening sentence Of the Berlin
day report, while Of no great military
value, is highly interesting in view Of
the general situation and the rumors
Of Iindenburg's overtures for a seps-
rate Russian armistice. II reads:
"The Russian government, having
been constrained TO yield 70 the press
ure of the leading Entente powers,
part of the army has been induced to
fight"
Night attacks are also mentioned
Unto which the Russians were driven
without artillery preparation"
Planning TO Divide Armies
One of the main objects Of Russian
campaign in the field Of present action
is TO separate the German and Austrian
armies and thrust in a great wedge,
around which they must lengthen their
lines Of vital communication. II has
been the experience Of the war that
the Austrians cannot resist the Slavic
forces without liberal support from the
Germans. Last year, before they could
be stiffened by German divisions, Bru-
silof captured them by the tens Of
thousands and succeeded in so seri-
ously crippling the fighting machine OF
the Dual Monarchy that it has never
fully recovered.
Lemberg, which the troops Of the
Car formerly held, would also be an
important prize for the armies Of new
Russia. 1t is large and prosperous
city, but its military value lies in the
fact that it is the intersecting point OF
nine systems Of railway. many Of which
lead into Hungary. Should Lemberg
fall once more it would mean the Rus
sian occupation Of all East Galicia.
The scale on which Brusiloff's armies
have assumed the aggressive indicates
a complete reorganization on that Sec
tion of the East front at least. Il is
significant also that the Russian mu.
milton reserve has proved equal to the
demands made upon II In
the last two weeks.
