Teutonic army chiefs concentrated counter-attacks today to stop General Brus elloft's offensive, nnd nt ono point east of Brzezany. the 'War' Office announced, the pressure of the enemy assault had com pelled a retirement, under nrtlllery lire.

This Is the first comprehensive counter offensive move attempted by the enemy tlnce General Brusslloft's offensive of tho Russian forces began Sunday. Apparently the enemy did not expect so powerful an assault and counted on breaking It down at once. On the contrary, tho revivified Russian troops swept forward over nil ob stacles. The Brzezany sector Is being desperately defended by tho German nnd Austrian forces because It Is regarded as the key to Lemberg, fifty miles farther northwest.

From reliable sources It was learned today that a note Just dispatched to Germany virtually asserts that unless Germany makes Immediate Indemnification for past destruction of Argentine hlps and guarantees assurances against future at tacks Argentina will break relations. It Is stated that the Argentine note does not Include a time limit within which the republic demands Germany's reply, but this limitation was omitted purely because of uncertainty of communication with Berlin. For two weeks Argentina has been ap proaching the point where she was ready to break relations with Germany. The crux of the situation lies In the case of the Argen tine steamship Protegtdo. The vessel was torpedoed without warning and several Ar gentine citizens lost their lives. Germany admitted the (Inking, condoned It and of fered reparation after an Interchange of notes. Then, after offering reparation, Berlin apparently forgot all about It. Some time ago Argentina sent a "reminder but still there was, .no response.
