PETROGRAD, July 18.
Austro-German losses on a 40-mlle sec
tor of the Gallclarr battle front alone
totaled between 120.000 nnd 130,000 during
tho last month, said an official review of
the fighting Issued by the War Ofllce
today.
The supplementary statement, showing
tho staggering price In human life the
Austro-Oermans have paid for their
rocent victories In Gallcla, follows'
"A great battle developed on a 40-mllo
front between the Tysmlcnlca and Swlca
Rivers where six Austro-German armies
were hurled against tho Russians. This
battle has continued to spread since it
started.
"On Slav 16 tho Austro-German army,
closely following our troops, which wero
retiring from tho Carpathians, met our
opposition In the region east of Droho
bycr, Stryj and llolechow
"During tho next week we remained
impassive, confining ourselves to exter
minating tho enemy ns he approached
our trenches On May 25 the enemy be
gan a decisive offensive and tho climax
of tho b.ittlo was rapidly reached. At tho
end of the fifth duy of tho engagement a
powerful force, composed of three Ger
man divisions, succeeded, at an Incredible
prlco and enormous sacrifice of human
life. In cnrrylng SlryJ.
"Perceiving the exhaustion of the Aus
trlans on the right wing of tho attack
ing army, wo assumed tho offensive nnd
drove them back on May 30, 31 and June I.
"Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian
Commander-in-Chief, wns undecided
whether to attempt to turn the German
wing that had broken our front at Stryj
or to fall back upon tho Dniester. The
gonernl situation In Gallcla caused us
to adopt the latter course.
"On tho night of Juno 2 the enemy
mado a demonstration ngnlnst our bridge
heads In the direction of Mlkolojow, los
ing scvoral thousands of men. On the
night of Juno 6 tho Austro-Germans
crossed the Dniester near Zurawno and
toward Juno 8 held the eastern bank for
a distance of 13 miles.
"On Juno 13 the enemy began a new
offensive with tho remains of regiments,
tho chief nttacks being directed along
tho right bank of tho Stryj River and
against the bridgeheads near Zydaczow.
Toward Juno 15 the enemy again suffered
reverses nt Beroznlca and Krulevskn.
"Dense additional columns have passed
through the Carpathians nnd are dally
reinforcing the enemy. Many supple
mentary elements, orlglnnlly destined for
East Prussln, met their fato In tho val
ley of the SlryJ.
Continued from rage One
against fortified strongholds with artil
lery, while Infantry regiments aro hurl
ing themselves against 200,000 German
troops, engaged In a desperate effort to
hold their lines beforo Lens.
Tremendous lmportanco Is attached to
tho conflict north of Arras by military
officials here. Tor the first time In many
weeks tho freen of censorship was
drawn tightly over tho operations today,
Indicating the seriousness of the gigantic
struggle. The War Office this afternoon
announced that no official bulletins te
gardlng tho progress of the battle would
be made public for at least twelve hours.
This announcement only Increased tho
tension here. For weeks hints have gone
out of a mighty smash against tho Gor
man lines on tho nnnlversary of Water
loo Though officially discredited, Paris
has been led to believe that the climax
of tho French thrust north of Arras was
to bo reached today, and the public fever
ishly nwaltcd moro news from tho front.
Tho Germans are counter-attacking
with great fury. Bombs, hand grenades
and bayonets all aro playing their part
In the great conflict. Loss of Lens would
force a readjustment of the German lines
from Arras to tho sen, and for this rea
son tho Teutons aro throwing their forces
Into battle with utter disregard for lives.
It would appear that Souchez, north of
Arras. Is destined soon to fall Into French
hands. The new positions won about
Souchez will give tho French batteries a
clean sweep toward tho Gorman positions
In the town.
During the fighting on tho Souchez-
Neuvlllo lino French aviators aro con
tinually In tho nir. Squadrons of aero
planes soared over Givcnchy and tho Ilols
do la Folic, whero tho German reserves
aro held In concentration, and dropped
bombs which aro reported to havo caused
great damage.
The War Office was silent this after
noon about the operations along the
River Fccht. All unofficial reports said
that the French aro malting stoady
progress In tho direction of the German
military center of Kolmar.
