I 1 ^ Austro-Germans Take Lemberg --French Advance In West. i. London, June 22:?French gains t \ in the west and the battle for Lemr berg stand out as the distinctive struggles at the present stage of the European war. Many unconfirmed . I reports have reached London that Lemberg already has fallen to the Austro-Germans, and Petrograd disi patches indicate that the evacuation j of the Galician capital may be look3 ed for at any time. In the Vosges the Germans have t retired to the east bank of the Fecht, I according to their own admission, but they assert that all French attacks have been repulsed, j The fighting around Arras continues desperate and sanguinary, the Germans counter-attacking to offset ^ the recent French gains. A wireless dispatch from Berlin says: ' "Neutral ports declare that the k battle raging near Arras may decide the fate of northern France. i The -French are strong but the Germans are continuously receiving rej inforcements. The losses on both sides are fearful." _ The House of Commons today " adopted a measure designed to check supplies reaching Germany through | neutral States. The bill, when it j becomes a statute. ^ may have a . i marked effect on American exports.
