London, July 9.-The Russians on the eastern front are going from suc cess to success, and for tho time that theater of war ls overshadowing tho western front from the spectacular viewpoint. Not only has Gen. Letchitzky, lu t lie south, occupied tho railroad junction nt Delatyn, west of Kolo mea, thus cutting off Gen. von Both mer from his supply base, but Gen. Brusslioff, In the north, is making surprising advances on both sides of the Kovel railway toward tho Stok hod river. German possession of Baranovichi and Kovel arc absolutely ossentlal If Germany ls to retain her hold over the Invaded parts of Poland and Li thuania, but it ls considered likely i iiat it is only a matter of a few days before the Russians will be tn pos session of Kovel, which would com pel Von Llnslngen's retirement from the Lutsk salient. Great Anxiety in Germany. Gorman official and unofficial dis patches reflect anxiety over the Rus sian advance as being greater than over the Anglo-French offensive, which the German military critics contend will not interfere with the operations against Verdun. Major Morant and other German critics express surprise at the extent and persistence of the Russian offen sive and the endless resources of am munition. lt is reported from Rome that at a recent council of German and Aus trian marshals, Von Hindenburg de clared that it would bo impossible to attempt a new offensive on n large scale without reinforcements of at least a quarter of a million men.

London, July 9.-Tho war office statoment to-day, tho end of tho week's offensive movements, says: "It being a week ago to-day since tho British offensive developed, thc occasion is opportune to review tho progress made. Wo have pushed in tho German salient between Albert and tho Somme to an extreme doptb at the point of our greatest advance of about three miles.

"Wo have taken upward of 6,000 prisoners, 21 guns, 51 machine guns, a largo number of automatic rifles, trench mortars, mino worfers, search lights and other military booty. "Tho enemy ls known to have suf fered terriblo losses. For example, tho third division of the Prussian guard, brought up as reinforcements, have been so depleted that tho rem nants of tho corps have bcon with drawn as no longer war worthy for the time. Prisoners say that the mo rale of these guards is badly shaken, this applying equally to the ofllcers. "The heavy rains of tho past two days have much impeded the opera tions. Nevei theless, our troops have been fighting incessantly and lu many spots have made substantial gains. Tho spirit of the men is wonderful. They fully realize they now are play ing the part of the top dog. As proof of their dash, lt may be mentioned that lu their advances there are practically no stragglors, so eager are all to got their goal. This, under tho heavy conditions of trench warfare, with No Man's Land often like a quagmire, is truly wondorful. There is every reason to he satisfied alike kV 1th the progress and prospects."
