PETROGRAD, June 5 (via London). It is claimed by the War Office that the Germans doubled their forces operating on their southeastern front Miring the Galician advance, and that fresh troops and artillery are atill be- ing sent in. Most of these reinforce- ments are being directed toward the Russian left flank on the Dniester region, this having become since the abandonment of Prezemyal the chief point of the Austra-German attack, The movement of the German cen- tre would appear to have been stopped ten miles to the east of Praemysi, and the elimination of the irregularities of the Russian align- ment has, according to Russian mili- tarists, advantageously shortened their front from fifty to fifteen miles.

The Kaiser had planned the trip by motor to celebrate the birthday of the Austrian archduke, arrival on the heels of the Austro-German victory at Praemysl aroused the Breatest enthusiasm. At a luncheon attended by many Austrian and German officers the Kalser proposed a toast to the suc- cesa of the combined armies. “With the right on our side, we are sweeping on to victory,” he de- clared amid cheers, Reports from tho Galician front in- dicate that the Austro-German troops are now in complete possession of al! parts of Przemyst. The Ryssinns con- tested atubborniy each advance, but at length were driven from the eastern and southeastern forts, the last to fall. It is generally admitted that the larger part of the Ruesian forcea in Przemys! was able to effect a retreat eastward by defending the positions toward thé south. This checked the attacking army of Gen, von Biehm- Ermolll and temporarily prevented the complete circling of the city, Immediately after the occupation of Przemysl Gen. von Mackensen's army pressed eastward.
