ter army was completely defeated by

Lemberg. From that moment It be
came evident that If the Austrian right
flank could not continue a stubborn
resistance the retreat of the main Aus
trian army from South Poland would
be Imperiled. By the capture of To
nniHiow on September 10 It 1 prob
able that the- Russian drove a wedge

ported In which 30,000 prisoners and
several hundred gun were taken. Thi
