ASSOCIATED Press War Summary .
Although the movement of the
Russian infantry engaged in General
korniloff's big offensive in eastern
Galcia is being hampered by bad
weather, the cossacks apparently
nave been able to keep up their
dashing tactics. This Is indicated
by report from Petrograd to Rome
Today that the town of Dolin has
peen occupied by Russian force
means an advance OF more then sd
miles for the Russians I'm the OPEN
ing Of the drive south of the Dniester
a week ago. The official reports
have placed them nearly two-thfrds
OF this distance from their starting
point as Kalusz taken by Kornilofes
troops last week is some 20 miles
from -stanislau, which virtually was
their place of departure.
AT Kalusz the Russians were as-
tablished on the westerly bank of
the Lomnica whence the Austriank
had not been able TO drive them all
though a heavy attack has been
launched in the attempt. The route
thence to Dolina lies along the
Stanislau-Stryj railway line. An ad-
vance here means considerable prog
ress in the movement now under
way, intended to throw Gen. Won
Boehm- -Ermollfs army back against
the Carpathians. The Rome report
indeed declares that this already han
been accomplished
The hard lighting that has marked
the last few days along the French
front in naFthern France still con-
tinues. Last night the Germans
made a desperate attempt 10 regain
the important observation posts they
lost when the French on Saturday
night took a strongly fortified posi-
tion in the vicinity Of Mont Ha1t
and the Teton in the ChampagIie.
The attacking forces were able to
make no impression whatever on the
Teton position and at Mount Haidt
they recovered only a narrow foot
hold on the edge OF the disputed
ground.
