The mnln Russian lino In Oallcla, after
falling back from tho crest of the Car
pathians, down the northeastern slope ot
those mountains and Across the Valley of
the StryJ. now Is Intrenched on the left
bnk of the Dniester, with the centre at
Orodelc. This line extends from Tarno
grod across the Russian frontier In the
northwent to Mlkolajow in the southeast,
and passes Lemberg to tho westward of
that city at a distance of about 11 miles.
The extreme left of the German army
la at Tarnogrod, in South Poland, at
which point the Russians are reported na
falling back on the Taney River. The
main German advance, having the cap
ture of Lemberg as an objective, is along
the railways running from Jaroslsu In
the northwest and Przemysl In the west
From the latter place the distance to
Lemberg Is 48 miles. The distance from
Jarotlau to Lemberg Is about 64 miles.
The Ruislan main defense now Is at
Orodek, In n low country full or lakes and
swamp, and which by Us character will
compel the Germans In their advance to
reduce the heads ot their columns. The
full length of the Rusalan line which now
is opposed to the German-Austrian armies
Is CS miles.
The River Dniester, which the Russians
have placed between them and, the Ger

General Attack.
PARIS, June 19.
Furious battles are now In progress all
along the Franco-Flanders battle front
from Arras to the sea. Co-operating with
the French In the Llevln-Arras drive the
British are smashing hard against the
German positions in the brick fields east
ot Ja Bassee, The Belgians havo
launched an'attaclc In the region of Dlx
mude. Tbo Germans are trying to break the
force of the attack by a violent bom
bardment. For houra at a time the allied
lints are being subjected to terrific shell
Are that holds the troops to the trenches.
But French artillery has silenced several
enemy batteries and opened gaps for In
fantry charges at a number of points
around Souchez,
The outcome ot the great battle that
has been raging- north of Arras for sev
eral fays is, still,' In doubt. The French
are known to have made Important
progress, but the extent of the Allies'
successes will not be determined until
the effect, of the British and Belgian of
fensives is known. There la no way of
eetlmatlng the testes on either side. In
the rush ot a continuous battle neither
army has found time to eollict its
wounded or dead.
For tl hours the War Office has with.
held virtually all news of progress of
the French attack.
The Freneh array wbleh is invading
