Petrograd doen not admit the loss of Any part of this district, but states that Russian forces have gathered there for the defense of Lemberg. BERLIN, vin wireless to London, June 18.—The first great battle for Lemberg is in its initial stages, Two large = Austro-German armies are massing before Grodok, fifteen miles west of the city, one moving east- ward along the Przemyal Railway and the other pressing down from the northwest through Javorof. The War Office thls afternoon con- firmed Vienna reports that the enemy has retired behind strong entrench- Menta in the Grodek Inke region. Bom- bardment of these works, constituting the outer defenses of Lemberg, began ly yonterday. Gen. Mackensen's left wing has crossed the Rusvian border noar Tan~ ogrod and is driving the enemy back upon the Tanet River, ‘The official statement says of the fighting in the eastern and south- eastern theatres of war: “An advancing Russian division ‘wae driven back by German cavalry across the Ssymeza branch at a point to the east of the highroad between Cycowyany and Shavil. An attack by the enemy in strong force against the Dawina line was repulsed, “On both sides of Tarnograd Austro- German troops yesterday drove the enemy back toward a branch of the ‘Tanew River, Later during the night these defeated Russians were driven @ull further back by the army under Gen, von Mackensen, They retreated as far as the prepared positions at Grodek, which are on the line running from the Narol and Wereszyca brooks to thelr junction with she River Dniester. “On the Dniester front, northeast of the situation remains un- ea 1,000 Germans who had abused the white fl Between May 29 and June 16 woe captured in this sector 40,000 prisoners, including 860 officers, over 100 machine guns and two dozen can- WAR NEWS IN BRIEF. The official statement from Berlin to-day contains the announce- ment that a force which attempted to break through the German lines north of La Bassee Canal was destroyed, with the exception of a small number who succeeded in retreating. At four points, the report concedes, the French penetrated at inter- vals outer German positions. In Northern Galicia, the Berlin announcement says, the Russians have been pushed back further. They have made a stand behind pre- pared positions at Grodek, which is only sixteen miles from the Galician capital of Lemberg. The British forces on Gallipoli Peninsula, according to Turkish re- ports, have heen compelled to abandon most of the ground they formerly occupied near Avi Burnu, on the west coast. The British fleet is said to have taken refuge from German submarines at Imbros Island, ten miles from the Gallipoli coast. The assertion is made by the Russian War Office that the Austro- rman advance has been made at the cost of great losses, In two days’ fighting near Stry the German forces are said to have lost “tens of thou- sands of men,” and on one section of thirty-eight miles on the Galician front, between May 29 and June 15, their losses are placed by the Rus- sians at between 120,000 and 150,000.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 18.—Re- Ports arriving here to-day from Kan- sas, Missouri, lowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma tell of a terrific storm that swept through the Middle West last night and early to-day. Wires to many points are prostrated and a number of cities and towns cut off from all outside communication, ‘Twelve persons are known to have been killed and a score injured. The death list may be swelled when full reports have been received. Five members of the family of John Burges, a farmer near Onaga, in Pottawatomie County, were killed an the gale destroyed their home.

Gene Nichols, a farmer living near Wamego, was killed by lightning. Almost everywhere the storm was accompanied by rains of almost cloud- burst proportions, which caused rivers and creeks in many sections to go out of their banks. There were no fi ures obtainable on possible crop dam- age. A tornado was reported at Paris, Mo, Two hotels were damaged, bulld- non. The total losses of the enemy on « front of thirty-eight miles were be- tween 120,000 and 150,000 men, “Dense additional columne deacend- ed the slopes of the Carpathian Moun- tains dally and reinforced the onomy.

CALLS GERMAN REPORTS BATTLES UNTRUE. “We have noted serious symptoms of demoralization which are beginning to show themselves in the ranks of the enemy in the vicinity of Mikola- jow. “It has been interesting to trace the reflection of events on the Dniester in the official military announcements of the enemy. Hvery step, bofore it had been completed by the Germans, has been reported by ther announcements as a German victory and a disorderly flight on the part of the Russtans, “The following day the announce- ment would say that the German army was successfully resisting tho pressure of the Russians, and on the third day the declaration would be made that the Russians bad great forces at their disposal in the region ip question, “Such & sequence and method of re- porting has been noticed in the Ger- man announcement on three different joceasions during the thirty days’ fighting on the River Dniester."
