British Drive Off German Kidding Parties Near Belgian Coast, While Airmen Send Down Ten TeutOnic
 Planes in Aerial Battles.
Associated Press Summary)

Another step in the outflanking of the Austro German armies protect ing Lemberg on the east has been achieved by the Russians, who have crossed the river LOmnicka and cap tured Kalusz Beyond the Lomnicka and south of the Dneister. west of HalicZ, Korniloffs advance con- tinues.
 When the Russians occupied Kalusz after forcing the passage of the Lom- nicka, they had advanced 20 miles northwestward from Stanislaw In five days.
 A great wedge has been torn in the Austro-German line south of the Dneister, and the army headquarters in that region was occupied in the taking of KalusZ. Should the Rus sian advance west of Stanislaw con- tinue unchecked, and should large Russian forces be thrown across the Dneister in the region of Halicz, the Zlota-Lipa line, unbroken by the Rus sian onslaught of July 1, would be turned, making a general retirement inevitable.
 On the southern end of the Stanis- law front, which is in the foothills of the Carpathians, the Russians are rot advancing as rapidly as on the northern end.
 In France, the British have driven off German raiding parties near the Belgian coast and west of Queant, southeast of Arras.
 The aerial activity on this part of the front has been more pronounced and ten German airplanes were driven down by British airmen, three of whom failed to return to their base
 Petrograd, July 12.-The Russians have catured Kalusz, the head quarters of the enemy in Galacia, ac- cordipg to a semi-official announce ment made today.
 According to information received at the ministry of War; the Russian troops are continuing their successful advance and have taken large num- Der of prisoners.
 Kalusz is a city of about 5000 pop ulation 28 miles southeast of Stry. Yesterday the Russians had reached the Posiecz- -Lesiuvka- Karmacz line, south and west of Stanislau. The central point of this line is Lesiuvka, four miles west of the river Bystritza. It is about seven miles east of Kalusz, the nearest large town west of Stanis- lau, and which is situated in bend of the Stoka river.
