The Russian front situation con.
tinues complex, with Russian troops
offering spirited resistance and driving
back the Austro.German forces in some
sectors and weakly yielding in others.
Ten miles from Chotin, just beyond
the extreme southeasterly corner of
Galicia, the Teutonic armies have been
forced back, according to advices from
Kishinev today. Petrograd also offic.
tally reports the driving back Of enemy
advance guards south of Grijmolav.
In Bukowina, on the river Bystritza,
on the other hand, the Russians have
been forced to yield more ground in
one case because of the voluntary re-
tirement of two regiments.
Take 1900 Captives.
Farther south, in Rumania further
menace to the entente line became ap.
parent today in the announcement Of
the opening of Teutonic offensive in
the region near the point where the
line turns southeastward toward the
Danube. Petrograd comedies the re.
tirement here and Berlin announces
the storming of Russians positions
with the taking OF 1900 prisoners and
13 guns.
In Flanders the infantry has con-
tinued inactive, but the total silence of
the British reports on conditions
there, similar to that preserved while
the great bombardment which pre-
ceeded the initial attack was impend-
ing, coupled with the reports of greatly
increased air activity, seems indica.
tive Of probable renewal Of the En-
terte offensive efforts. The French
report indeed, speaks of fairly vio-
lent" artillery fighting in Belgium.
Expect Final Touch Soon.
The steady closing in of the Canad-
ian lines about Lens to give the i'm
preston that the time is not far dis.
tant when the effort to give the final
touch to the process of expelling the
Germans from that coal city will be
launched.
