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.
