I ALL THE NEWS FOB ALL THE PKOPF V f i j HAVE YOl SUBSCRIBED? j g LONDON June IS—Berlin claims that the Russians are retreating over their own frontier toward Tarnograd, ahout four miles from the Galieian border. This means an invasion of Russian j territory at a new point, but, accord ing to military observers here, it may spell ultimate advantage for the Russians in that a general Rus sian retirement northward into Ro land would divert Gen. Linsengen's attempt to crush the Russian center near Zurawna, which would effective ly sever the communication of the ' Russian army in Southeastern Galica | and Bukowina. The military writers : say the real danger zone from the Russian standpoint is in the Zurawna i district and along the Dniester. According to Berlin the Austro f German forces have battered through Niemero and advanced toward Jaw* orow, only 25 miles to the west of the Galieian capital. Three great masses of Austro-Ger* man troops are sweeping from the San to the capital city, and what will prove to be the greatest battle of aIJ time is being fought in the vicinity | of Grodeka.
