GAINED BY KERENSKY IS RECAINED BY TEUT0NS AS
 RUSSIANS CONTINUE RETREAT
Republican A. p. L eased wIre1 :

Having retreated a distance of ap- proXlmately 100 miles from where kerensky, the iron man of Russia, carried them in his personally con ducted drive early in the present month. the Russian army on the cen ter of the line in east Galicia is again on Russian soil on both sides of Husiatyn and is still being fol- lowed by the forces of the Teutonic allies.
 Likewise, the armies to the north and south continue to fall back before the enemy. Wherever the faithful troops attempt to give battle they are harrassed by numerically stronger forces of the Teutons and compelled to give ground, receiving no assist ance from their recalcitrant former brothers in arms, whose main effort continues to be to get out of striking distance of the enemy.
 So fast has been the retirement of the Russians and the advance of the enemy toward Bukowina that al ready an arch-like formation has been thrown westward of CZernowitz, the capital, with the northern end rest ing on Woclawice, 25 miles distant and the southern end to the east

Down along this latter front the Russians, aided by the Rumanians, continue to force the Teutonic allies to cede ground, es- peciaily in the upper Putna valley. French troops in the Aisne region have turned in vicious counter at lacks against the army of the Ger man crown price. put down an Of | fenSlVe it had started between Hurt 1 esbise and La BOvelle and made good 1 gains against it all along the line. i Several attacks by the Germans in i the Verdun sector were repulsed. The 1 great artillery duel which has been 1 in progress in Flanders for more than 8 week continues unabated. 1 In the air the machines of Great 1 Britain and Germany are carrying | out maneuvers of proportions never [ before seen. As an indication of the intensity of these aerial combats 50 , German airplanes were accounted for i in the latest fighting. in addition to two observation balloons. The i British war office admits that l3 of the royal air squadron failed to return to their bases. The German ' war office asserts, however. that 35 British planes were shot down.
 On Friday and Saturday nights German airmen attempted to bomb Paris. In the first attacks three sub urban sections Were reached and bombs were dropped which caused the injury of several persons.
