RUSSIA ARMY
HAS NOT LOST
FIGHTING GRIP
It's Ability Proven By TAX
ing of Austro-German
Position.
STRIKE MADE ON
LINE OF 10 MILES
Number of Prisoners Taken
Compares Favorably With
Other Exploits.
AssoeIsted Press summary.

Rusia's armies have not lost their
old striking power as the result of
the long inactivity. This is evidenced
by the announcement today of Pet
rograd of the taking of an important
Austro-German position in Galicia,
at the outset of the new offensive,
together with the capture of more
than $500 prisoners.
The advance was effected in the
field of attack between the upper
Stripa and the Narcyuvka. General
Brussiloff moved here yesterday, the
Austro-German lines being struck
along front of more than 10 miles
after prolonged artillery preparation.
In pressing forward the Russians
captured the town of Koniuchy.
The number of prisoners taken
compares not unfavorably with last
years lists from General Brussiloff's
great offensive along the southern
part of the line in the east, consider.
ing the comparative shortness of the
present line of attack.
A stroke of such force had hardly
been expected from the Russians
considering the INSTRUMENTATION of
the army following the revolutio1.
The surprise in the initial announce
ment was that the Russians had
effected reorganization and had been
able to resume the offensive in this
brief time since the great upheaval.
The artillery batthz is still raging
far to the north along the Russian
line into Volhynia, as far as the mid
die Stocked, the latest Berlin state
ment indicating that attacks by the
Russians were expected to extend the
area of the fighting.

Some Berlin Claims.

Berlin, July 2.-(via London.-A
seni-official statement, discussing
the recent British attack says the aim
evidently of enveloping the Lens sa-
