London, July 6.—Much activity was apparent today in all the three ele- ments where the warring powers came -| {into actual contact, but reports as to . Reading between the lines of the various official reports, it is not dif f- cult to deduce that the Russians are making a desperate stand between the Rivers Pruth and Dniester. Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of the Russian forces, reports that the fighting in southern Poland is of the Most desperate character, while Vien- na admits that the Russians are at- tacking in strong force. General. Von Linsingen’s Teuton army, after_a fortnight of terfific struggles, is reported by both Vienna and Berlin to have reached the whole front of the Zlota Lipa river in East- ern Galicia. cs Germans Make Gains. also on the western front, where in the forest of Le Pretre the German forces are reported to have compelled the obstinately resisting French to evacuate trench after trench over a 1,500-yard front, until 1,000 prisoners, including a battalion staff and a num- ber of guns fell into the hands of the attacking troops. The Paris version of this claim is that after an extremely heavy bom- bardment, the Germans succeeded along a front of one kilometer in re- gaining a foothold in the old lines which had been taken by the French. Both sides report sanguinary but fruit- less attacks at other points along the .| Western line. % A Russians Lose Heavily. Berlin, via London, July 5.—A dis- Patch from Czemokitz, Bukowina, re- ports that the Russians are continu- ing desperate but unsuccessful attacks in the region between the Purth and Dniester rivers, and are meeting with heavy losses, amounting to 20,000 men "| in the last few days.

Twenty-one of the mine layer's crew were killed and twenty-seven wounded.” The Copenhagen correspondent of Reuter’s Telegram company states that a message has been received from Gothland telling of=—the naval battle off the east coast of that is- land. According to the message, gun- fire was heard last night and at 6:30 o’clock this morning naval action was observed from Ljugarn Harbor and later warships steamed north. Two Battleships Damaged.

Copenhagen, July 3.—In prepara- tion for an advance north, supported by a German -fleet, the Politiken’s Petrograd correspondent states that eight German: army corps were con- centrated at Riga and in the Shavli region, The attack on Windau, the correspondent believes, was an evi- dence that this was the object of the German military and naval av- thorities.
