PARIS, June 6.—The French war- of- fios this afterncon lssued the following statement on the progress of hostilities: o enemy delivered last night three violent counter attacks against ths sugar refinery of Souches and the trenches to the north and to the south of this posi- tion. They ware repulsed, and in their first efforts partioularly, they suffered very heavy losses. ‘“We remain masters of every ome of the positions conguered by us. “Last night we also took possession of @ German position to the northwest of the roadside inn, known as the Cabaret Rouge, one kilometer (two-third miles) to the south of Souches. “There was great activity last night on the part of the artillery in the entire |seotor to the morth of Arras. “Along the remainder of the front there s nothing new.” More German Troops for Gallela. PETROGRAD, June 5.—(Via London)- Further duscussion of the evacuation of Praomysl brought out the claim in Petro- grad today that the Germans doubled thetr forces operating on their southern front during the Galiclan advance, and that fresh troops and artillery are still being sent in. Most of the reinforcements are being directed toward the Ruesian left flank in the Dniester region, this having become since the abandonment of Praemysl the chief poiut of the Austro- German attack. The movement of the German center would appear to have been stopped ten milles to the east of Pruemysl and the elimination of the frregularities of the Russian alignment has, according to Rus- slan militarists, adventageously shortened their front from fifky to fifteen miles. ‘With this center of the Guiictan opera- tons marking tme the Germans are de- | sortbed here as being foroed back on their extreme left near the lower San and as advancing toward the Dnelster fortifica- tions on their vight. This gives the ‘mn.unu as & whole the character of a slow pivoting movement with Prsemysl a8 the oenter.
