Continued from 7aite Ore

fleeing Teutons before they are able to gain
the shelter of their secondary lines.
Tha sweeping fire of the Russian nrtlllcry
has forced the Austro-Ocrman armies back
from the south side of the Llpa nl many
points, tt Is only a question of hours be
foro the Russians cross the stream and be
gin tho last march of tha Journey toward
Lemberg. On this army men hero are
agreed.
Doubto track runways and military roads
leading directly Into tha threatened sector
are enabling tho Russians to concentrate
mas-cs of troops against von Llnslngcn's
army and to replenish their supplies with
great rapidity. Plans havo evidently been
mado for a great Ruislan offensive against
Lembcrg from this direction, where recent
Judicious "nibbling" disclosed vital weak
ncssoa In the Teuton lines.

Already the threat to Lombcrg has be
como so great that, according to well authen
ticated reports from Rome, towns and vil
lages along tho paths leading to the strong
hold from tho northern frontier are being
hastily evacuated and the people thrown
,lnto panic.
Tho samo newly won Russian lines nlong
tha Llpa are constituting a simitar menace
to Vladlmlr-Volynskl and Kovel and to the
right flank of the Teuton forces defending
tho western bank of tho Stokhod. Tho
Boerso dazctto reportr that the Austrlans
and Qermnns aro using every possible means
of strengthening tho defemioa of Vladlmlr

Tho forcing of tho Stokhod nnd tho

end will come suddonly.
At two other points on the Kaht front
tho Russians' ceaseless activity won for
them fresh nucccsxes yesterday. South of
Riga they captured and held against on
Hlndcnburg's lolcnt counter-n&saults a lino
of trenches. Kuropatkln huB only begun
his offensive on this front.
Along tho wide Carpathian front General
Letchltsky Is meeting with determined op

tho plains of Hungary. Monday's victory
along tho Klrllbnba-Szlgct Uno put tho
Russians In control of four Important linos

To the northwest, along tho Jloldnva

"As a result of tho latest skilful opera
