KAISER CLOSE TO LEMBERG: PLANS TO ENTER THE cy WITH CONQUERING TROOPS Austrian Regiments Are Storm- ing Last Line of the Russian Defense. RESISTANCE WEAKENING One Row of Trenches After Another Given Up, Says Berlin. BPRLIN, via The Hague, June Lemberg is about t fall before the eyes of the Kaiser. The Russians are preparing to evacuate the city. A despatch from Prazomysl early to-duy reporte) that Austrian regiments are) storming the last line of Russian de- fenses on a ridge eleven miles from the city and that Austrian shells are falling in the western suburb of the Galician capitcl. The German KEin- peror is said to have moved close to the battle front and plans to onter Lemberg with the Austro-German troops. Gen. Mackensen’s left wing has captured Ravaruska, an important railway centre commanding the road | jeading to Lemberg. Bince /early yesterday trainioads of Russian wounded have been hurry ing out of Lemberg. They are tnov- ing northeast in the direction of Brody, five miles from the Russian frontier. Aviators have brought ‘word that several trainloads of heavy guns used in the defense of Przemys! are moving out of Lemberg. Hotly pursued by the Austro-Ger- » $ the Russian swho were driven out of Grodek fell back ‘»ward Lem- berg on a line paralleling the lakes. Through the gap between lakes Droz- éowieck! and Czerlanski, Gen, Macken- gen rushed flying columns of cavalry and infantry. They drove the enemy eastward so rapidly that the Slavs made only a feeble attempt at resist- ance at their first line of trencies three miles east of the lakes. The Russian centre retreated so rapidly that the right flank had to give way and began falling oack in confusion from the Wereszyca River north of Grodek at daybreak Sunday. Throughout Saturday night and early Sunday the Russians continued to give ground, abandoning one after another row of trenches on the hills east of Grodek, They are making their fing) stand on a four-mile ridge of hills) .pping the rolling plain that @weeps down upon Lemberg. The battle for the ridge began yes- terday morning, the Austrians making the first onslaught. The Russians boat off the early attacks, fighting desper- ately. . Mackensen is hurling one regi- ment after another into the attack. Once this ridge is taken Mackensen ds expected to sweep on into Lemberg over the low plaln without serious opposition. Tho final stages of the battle for Lemberg finds two armies closing in, @ach within striking distance of the city. One force, made up largely of Bavarians, is descending upon Lem- berg from Janof, eleven miles north- west of the capiial on the railway to roref. Even though the Russians held Mackensen at bay directly w of Lemberg, the rapidity with which the second army is moving down from Janof makes it appear improbable to military men here that Lemberg can hold opt many more hour: LONDON, June 21.—The Morning Post's Petrograd correspondent says that M.
