RUSSIANS CONTINUE TO DRIVE TEUTONS. SLAV ARMIES TAKE: MANY ADDITIONAL PRISONERS IVIIILE: HURLINt. AUSTRIAN'S BACK. Having capture-i Czemowuz. the Russians are well on their wax from that city and fnvn various poinis along the river Fruth, driving the Austrian? before them towaid the Serreth river and the x'arpalhian mountain passes. They have cap* J ? -'R'Ti'+irinol nrisnners and lurea nittii) auumvimi k? ? more guns, machine guns, ammunition and foodstuffs have fallen into their hands. Heavy fighting still is in progress to the north, with the Russians generally on the offensive, but with the Austro-Hungarians and the Germans tenaciously battling against their further advance. In the region south of the Pripet marshes, to the west of Kolki, and along the Stokhod river,where the Kovel-Kovno railway crosses the stream, the Russian attacks ha\e been partly repulsed by GenVon Linsingen's forces according to Berlin, while northwest of Lutzk the battle is going in favor -' /- ??nr,0 oi mc uci iiioiu. Petrograd admits the penetration of the Russian lines by the Austrians west of Lutzk, near the town of Lokatchi, but says that later the Russians retrieved this setback. The announcement would indicate that the drive in Volhynia has brought the Russians to within 20 miles of Vladimir-Volynsk, the head of the railway running north through Ko el. Along the Galician border near Radziviloff the Russians announce the capture of 1,800 prisoners. Berlin reports the situation of the Teutonic allies in Northern Galicia near Buzacza as unchanged. On the front in France only one infantry action took place Monday. This was between the Avre and the , Oise, where the Germans attempted to approach the French lines, but were repulsed with hand grenades. Only bombardments, violent in the s region northeast of Verdun and against the British positions near Neuville St Vaast, but intermittent elsewhere, have taken place along the remainder of the line in France and Belgium. Numerous battles in the air, in which six German machines, among them two Fokkers, were brought down by the British, are recorded in the British official communication. The British themselves lost two aircraft. A severe battle between the Austrians and the'Italians is in progress on the Setti Comuni plateau, to the west of Asiago. On the various other sectors southeast of Trent numerous Austrian attacks have been repulsed. The Italians report some progress for their troops northeast of Asiago and the capture of 100 Austrians and two machine guns. Three Italian steamers and five Italian sailing ships have been sunk. At least one of the vessels, the steamer Leprovedita, is reported to have been sent to the bottom by Austrian submarines. Tobacco Farmers.
