Russian Retreat Follows Fall of

LONDON, .Tiimo 21. .V dispatch
from Amsterdam to tlio Central Newt,
says the Germans, follow Stiff their
victory in Gulicia, huvo already made
preparations for another attempt to
eapturo Warsaw. According to this
dispatch, Gcnnnii troops from Gulicin
already have heen transferred to the
Azurn front, west oMViirsuw.
The fall of Lemberg is being fol
lowed, according to Berlin, advices
liy n general Hussinn retreat. In tht
Lemberg district the letoiious Aus-tro-Gonnnn
armies are said to be
driving the HttssiniiH eastward, while
to tlio west the armies of Kmpcror
Nicholas are falliiiff back from III"
eonnlry northwest of Przcmysl, near
the Russian border, and as far north
iih the district in Italian Poland,
nboul 100 miles south of Warsaw.
Offensle Power Passes
Military critics in London admitted
reluctantly today that the power of
offensive has passed for somo time
from the Hiissiuns, while special dis-
patches from Pctrogrnd declared that
it may bo even years before the An
tro-Oeiiiinn aggressiveness can be
worn down. It is generally admitted
that Itussia, like Knglund, is not suf
fering from lack of men, but that a
shortage of munitions has prevented
the gonornl allied offensive expected
early this summer.
Heavy engagements marked the
western front vosterdny. The French
were tlio objects of vigorous counter
attacks by the Oenuaus, who soiiffht
to recover positions lot bv them in
dune. Kacb side repot ts slight ad
vaiices, but the relative positions
have been little changed.
On Italian IVont
i
Aeeordiiiff to reliable information
that has reached Verona, the Aiistri
uiih have received such reinforce
itienrs as to enable them to take the
offensive throughout the front, but
uni being repulsed e cry where with
heavy lom.es. The fundamental idea
in the plan of campaign adopted by
Lieutenant (Icneial Count Cudoinn is
to cause the Atistniiiis tlio greatest
cpcndituie of men with the least
damage to t Iio Italians.

MS FOUGHT
FOR LEMBERG
10 VERY LAST
Strop.;:- Resistance Until Actual En
trance of Teutonic Forces Re
treat From Northern Galicla Also
In Progress Ovation for Victors
at Gallcian Capital.
BKHLIN, Juno 21. Details of the
taking of Lemberff, while still mea
ger, show that the Htissiaiis resisted
strongly to the very lust, and this in
spite of their hopeless situation.
Before the city fell the n rimes un
der General Yon Mnokeiiscn and
Archduke Josciih Ferdinand had
driven wedges deep into the north
ern section of tho ltttssiau line cut
ting this lino in two. Under pressure
f i oin the northwest and following es
pecially an effective bombnrdnient by
the urtillery of General Boehni-Kr-
molli, the archduke completed the
disaster bv breaking the Hussian
center, which was suported on Lent
berg. At the same time, General von
Maekonseu pressed steadily on the
soldiers of Kmpcror Nicholas, who
were in full retreat along the line
from Lcmbcrg to Itavva Hinku. Gen
eral Boehm-Knuolli pursued the en
emy to the northeast and east of
Lemberg.
Begin Their Hetrcnt
As soon as the investment of Lem
berg bad been completed the Hus
sions, threatened by the further ad
vance of the Germans and the Aus
tro Hungarians, also began retreat
ing from the angle in northern Gal
icia, fonned bv the rivers Snn nnd
Vistula, as well as from the district
around Kielce, in Hussian Poland,
about 100 miles south of Warsaw.
The victorious Germanic troops
wore given an ovation when they en
tered Lemberg. Tho city is described
as little damaged, with tho exception
of a big fire in tlio western pint,
where the Hussions ignited some pe
troleum and beuziuo tanks, the rail
road station and several factorios.
The city apparently had not been
touched by tho artillery fire of the
Hussions and the Austriuus.
Capture, a Surprise
Captured officers declare that even
until very recently the fall of Lem
berg had not been regarded as even
n remote possibility by the Hussinns.
The fortifications of tlio city hud
been modernized in every way.
The loss of Lemberg deprives the
Hussions of their last strong sup
porting point on Galiciuii soil. The
moral effect of the occupation also
was considerable. It was being re
called in Berlin that tbrco months ago
Kmpcror Nicholas declined that the
fall of Pr.omysl in connection with
the fall of Lemberg, constituted tut
ovorpowciing ietor for the Sims.
ALLIES GAIN AT

made public in Franco today gives
