RUSSIANS BOMBARD
, AUSTRIAN FORTRESS
AT
No. 4
Petrograd.—The official statement
from the chief of general staff says
that the Russians -are bombarding the
fortreaa of Praemysl, whose artillery
haa opened fire. The statement fol­
lows:
“ The Austrian troops wlhich at­
tempted to check our advance In front
of .Baranow and Ranlchow, In Galicia,
wgjre repulsed with heavy losses.
“ Sfc*e artillery Is now bonmb&rding
the fortifications of Jaroslau.
* Fighting is going on agtànst the
Parrlson of Przemsyl, who Jbave re­
plied with artillery fire.
“ The Russian troops crossteig the
forests are finding batteries aban
doned by the Austrians. ”
It has been confirmed that the Rus
slan troops have occupied the fortl
fled Austrian position ot Jaroslau. A.C-
cording to official announcement made
Each of the contending forces had
practically exhausted Itself aa the
week closed and though the battle
line waa continually restless, only
slight gains by one side, offset by
moderate victories by the other, can
be counted aa the result of the seven
days’ western fighting.
The casualties of the allies probably
exceeded those of the Germans the
past week for the first time since the
war began. The Oerman defensive
was excellently chosen for administer­
ing severe punishment to the pursu­
ers, and there are suggestions that the
artillery fire from the northern heights
of the Aiane haa been very destructive.
The German official report aaya the
French attacks have been repulsed,
that Beaumont has been stormed and
that many French prisoners have been
captured. French reports, on the oth­
er band, while agreeing to the stub­
bornness of the contest, declare the
situation is “ satlafactory,” despite the
fact the Geramns have received rein­
forcements. presumably from Lor­
raine.
The French army, operating on the
right bank of the river Oise In the
region of Noyon, according to this re­
port, has made some progress, while
the Anglo-Freuch force which a week
ago crossed the river Alsne In the face
of a withering fire from the German
guns, hold* the heights to the north
of that point. In the center the Ger­
mans have not moved from the
trenches which they dug when they
were compelled to fall back, while
the crown prince’s army, which holds
the German left, again has retired.
The German forces in east Prussia
have been more successful than in
France.
The Russians have been
forced to evacuate almost all of the
German territory they had previously
occupied and an offensive movement
has penetrated some distance into
Russian Poland. Its serious signifi­
cance is Indicated by an announce­
ment from Petrograd that 900,000 ad­
ditional troops are preparing to march
into Germany.
Petrograd reports that General Ren-
nenkampff has definitely arrested the
German advance. This movement has
been assisted by river excursion boats
changed into what the soldiers termed
a “ one-horse navy.”
In Galicia. Austrian defeats have
been continuous during the week,
though not as overwhelming
Rus­
sian reports first Indicated. All the
province east of the San river ia now
held by Russia, but the strong fortifi­
cations of the San have not yet fallen.
The way to Cracow, however, Is
partly open and the week closed with
Russia's campaign in eastern Galicia
well under way. When Galicia has
been wholly traversed the Russian
march in full strength will begin and
with it may be initiated the last phase
of the war.
^
to the river Meuse, uorth ot Verdun,
the armies of the allies and Germany
accomplished nothing definite or de­
cisive during the past week.
Conditions for the struggle could
not be worse. The bloody field was
drenched with cold, torrential rain
that tilled the trenches behind which
the fighters sought shelter, adding to
their torment.
The allies apparently have not at­
tempted storming tactics during the
week.
Instead they exerted great
pressure to break through the German
center and tried constantly to envelop
General von Kluck’s right wing. Both
efforts failed, as they have failed con­
sistently whenever attempted by eith­
er side during the French campaign.
