along the Dniester In GaIIcia con-
tinues successfully. The fighting
Is progressing on fifty-mile front
from Aalicz to the foothills Of
the Carpathians and all along the
line the Russians are advancing.
Northwest Of Aalicz on Thurs
day the Russians enlarged their
gains north Of the DnIester, cap
tured important heights between
the river and sukazowice and oc-
cupied two villages. This advance
is in the direction OF Lembere.
In the center and on the south
ern end Of the line the Russians
have been victorious in heavy bat
ties for the possession Of the
crossings Of the riVers lonrnica.
They have made progress on the
road to Oolina and have captured
the crossings Of lomnica at pere-
hinsko, about fifteen miles south
Of kalusz and four miles west Of
3ohorodony.
In the capture Of Kalusz Gen.
eral kornlIotf's soldiers took near.
" 1000 prisoners. mostly Ger
mans. In addition five heavy guns
and ten machine guns fell into
their hands.
A probable resumption Of heavy
fighting on the eastern front
north Of the Pripet marshes and
in Rumania is indicated. On the
Dvina and Shara rivers and near
Smorson, north Of, Pinsk, there
has been more active infantry
fighting. No determined attack,
however, has yet developed.
The Russian advance west Of
StanisIau. besides endaneerins

ately north in Galieia, also is

parties have been thrown forward
to test the enemy's strength. No
attack in force has been reported.
Raids and reconnoitering en-.
gagements have occupied the Brit
ish and Germans on the northern
end Of the front in France. South
Of St. Quentin along the Aisne
front and on both sides Of the
Meuse in the Verdun region the
artilleries only have been active.
In aerial fighting French aIrnen
have brought down ten German
airplanes and driven eight enemy
machines down behind their own
lines in damaged condition.
The British dreadnaught Van
guard has been blown up by an in
ternal explosion with the loss Of
approximately more than 700 lives.
The disaster occurred while the

members Of the crew, however.
were not aboard. The Vanguard
