RUSS LIE BROKEN; POSITION PERILOUS Germans Drive Wedge Home and Foe's Retreat Is Rap idly Becoming Rout. NEW CAMPAIGN STARTED Teutonic Allies Press Advantage and Continue Pursuit, but Mean while Permanent Defense Line ' Is Made to Bar Xew Attack. BERLIN', via London, Aug-. 29 The Austro-German troops have broken the Russian lines along the. Zlota Lipa River in East Galicia, the Teutons re suming activity on a section of the front where for a long time they have been merely holding; their positions. The Russian extreme left, which hitherto ha been unaffected by the general defeat, now apparently is shaken and involved In the general re tirement. Military experts express the belief that tho invaders soon will be expelled from the little corner in Ga licia, where alone they have been able to maintain a foothold on Austrian aolL new campaign Opened. This develoDment. together with the sharp advance by the Austriana north east of Kovel. la believed here to indi cate' the opening of a campaign against the fortress triangle formed . by the strongholds of Lusk. Dubno and Rovno, erected as a bar to access to Southern Russia. The Russian armies retreating north and aouth of Brest-L.ltovsk are sepa rated by the Rotik.no Swamps, and mili tary men here say that the Austro- German strategists are In a position to mass i forces against eltner missian wing and expose it to a crushing de feat. Dispatches received here today aav that the Russian resistance behind Brest-Litovsk has been broken and the pursuit by the Teutons Is being pressed. I'tter Roat Possible. Samary, where German cavalry yes terday defeated a Russian cavalry di vision. Is 40 milea from Brest-Litovsk. The military experts say that this mounted force of Germans is now In a position to bite deep into the flank of the retreating .Russians ana osg many prisoners, if not to convert the retreat into utter rout With more cavalry In hand, the Austro-German strategists, It is said. might perhaps before this have com pelled Grand Duko Nicholas to turn and accept battle. The belief is ex pressed that his retreat from now on will be doubly difficult. Naturally, there has been much spec ulation hre concerning the limits to which pursuit ot tne riussiiins would be pressed. Some had assumed that the advance would not be continued much beyond Brest-Litovsk, but the impres sion is now general that the pursuit will proceed so long as it continues to give paying returns in captives or offers a chance to bring the fleeing armies to bay. Meanwhile a permanent line or de fense will be settled and fortified as a barrier against a new Russian offen sive, it is stated. GOETHALS DUE AT 3:30 CANAL BUILDER TO ARRIVE FOR STAY OF THREE DAYS.
