RUSSIANS TAKE
,000 TEUTONS
IN GREAT DRIVE
Vienna Admits AilstnahS
.Were Compelled to With
draw Before Onslaught
VIOLENT BATTLE RAGES
LONDON, Juno 7. The Russian War
Office last nlsht reported that 'tho now
Offensive) Along the JBO-mtlo front of the!
Austro-Hunsarlann has thus far resulted,
In tho capture of 480 ofTlccTS and 26,000
tnen, 27 Runs and 80 tnachlhc suns.
Vienna officially admits ' tfirtt tho Aus
trlans were cqmpellod to. withdraw their
lines north of Okna to positions "prepared
a little mora than three miles to tho
south." This means that tho first effective
Impress of the now Russian drlvo has been
made at tho tactically and politically moBt
vital point of the front under attack, just
north of the Bukowlna-Bcssarabla border
If tho Russian success Is follow cd up,
Czernowltz, tho Bukonlna capltol. Is onco
moro seriously threatened, and an Invasion
of tho Qatlclan crownland would bo far
townrd achieving tho chief political nlm
of tho now offensive, the entry of Rumania
on tho Allies side.
The suddenness of the blow struck by
tho Russians has swept the Austrlans off
their feet, and tho advance of the Cz.ir's
legions Is dev eloping with astonishing swift
ticsa. With the condition of the roads
almost perfect and with the Russian sup
plies of ammunition plentiful, It Is expected
iy military critics that tho new offensive
will bo extremely hard for tho Austriani to
check.
OFFENSIVE GROWING.
Tho Interest of tho military critics of
Europe Is now centred on the armies of the
Czar. Tho Russian offensive has now been
in operation for a week,' each day growing
In length of line attack and In frequency
of Infantry rushes.
Tho Czar has more than 1,000.000 men
massed along the line from the Prlpet
marshes to the Pruth In tho Besinraulan
region, critics believe, while tho Austrian
defenders arc but half that number
For several days prior to tho Russian
offensive tho official Austrian report bristled
with announcements of successes In their
drlvo In the Aslago-Arslero region, ou tho
Italian front. No reports of successes hero
have betn made In the last few days, In
dicative that the Austrlans already may
have withdrawn troops to bolster up tho
line against the Czar.
Tho movement is under the able leader
ship of General BniBslIoff, who conducted
the brilliant campaign In tho Carpathians
in 1314. and who Is generally conceded to
be one of the best strategists of tho Russian
staff.
Tho forces opposing the Russian advance
are estimated at 40 Austrian Infantrjr divi
sions and from 10 to IS Austrian cAvalry
divisions, assisted by, at the most, two
divisions of Germans. This brings tho total
Teutonic forces operating on this front up
to 600,000 men.
No details of the Russian attack are yet
at hand, but It was preceded, as usual, by
a vigorous artillery bombardment, after
which the Russians moved forward along
the whole line, capturing first-line Aus
trian positions. The Initiative belongs en
tirely to tho Russians. Tho Austrlans, evi
dently taken by surprise, fell back without
being ablo to start a counter-offensive.
THB OFFICIAL REPORT.
The Russian. official statement follows:
Wo captured 480 officers, 25,000 men,
27 guns and SO machlno guns
The Austrian War Office report follows:
The battle on tho northeast frpnt
continued on the whole front of 218
miles with undiminished btubbornness.
North, of Okna, after stiff and fluctuat
ing battles, we withdraw our shattered
first positions to the line prepared five
. kilometers to tho south.
Near Jarlowlec, on tho lower Strypa,
the enemy today attached after artil
lery preparation. He was everywhere
1 repulsed, at somo places by hand fight
1 Ing.
!At the same time a strong Russian
attack west of Trembowla (south of
Tarnopol) broke down under our gun
fire. West-northwest of Tarnopol there
was bitter fighting. Whereyer tho
enemy gained advantages ho was
driven out.
' On one front occupied by one bat
talion there were 360 Russian corpses.
Near Sopanow (southeast of Dubno)
there were numerous attacks by tho
enemy, with unimportant results.
Between Mlynow, on the Ikwa, and the
regions northwest of Olyko, where the
Russians are continually becoming
stronger, there is bitter lighting.
