Petrograd, July 5.—Twenty thousand Teuton prisoners
are now in the hade of the Russians as a result of three
days’ lighting. Tl^ battle continues at Brzezany, the enet-
rny fighting despentely.
Petrograd. July l—The Russian arnjy in Galicia is fighting
hard t© get posseaso n of the strategic lines of railway in the
Brzezany-Zebrow action.
The soldiers of revolutionary Russia maintained their at
tempts to break though the Austro-German lines in eastern
Galicia. Cheered ly the results of the fighting during the
first three days, of July, Gen. Brussiloffs men continue their
efforts, especially h the region of Brzezany, and are throw
ing fresh forces apinst the Teuton positions.
Terrific attacksthe Austro-Germans against the new
Russian positions, tpecially along the ZlotawLipa river, broke
down under a wittering fire from the Russian batteries.
The Rumanians^* strengthened by Russian reinforce
ments and British artillerymen are taking the offensive in
the Moldavian mogrtains.
Two strong eneiy columns have attacked the right wing
of the Italian arm in Macedonia. These efforts, Paris re
ports, were repulsd. On this front, as well as on the'Au-
Ltro-Italian front, fte artilleries have been busy.
With the Russian holding their gains in Galicia against
Austro-German attacks, the indications of stronger activity
in the other war thsters are multiplying. X r
On the western front the British have advanced and the
I French .artillery is active from north of the Aisne to the
Meuse: the artillery activity has increased on the entire Au-
stro-Italian front: tfcre has been greater local activity in Rou-
n ania. and on the lacedonian front the Germans have taken
the offensive on a nail sector.
