June 2. -One wis killed, five wounded and dsmages to the extent cf 130.000 was done In a fire in! the Percival bWk In the heart of the wholesale district last night. A collision between fire trucks cost the life of a driver and Injured flye firemen, on retreating, bringing up new forces for one counter nttark after . another. The, Anstro German troops, nevertheless drove them back and pushed forward half way tn the Pnelster rlvsr. Oerman military authorities assort that this victory is of large strategic Im portance. The broad plain north of Ptry does not afford effective, opportunities for defensive operations so that the Rus sians ate expected to retreat to the. Pnelofer llpe at Roadwow. where they probably wilt make a stand In the swamp land. Should they be again forced back, the only other opportunity of making a defense before Lemherg would be In the lake district south of that city. The assertion is msde In Berlin ithat the capture of three, forts near Trsemysl and tho victory at Ptry Indicate the complete expulsion of the Russians from rSalii'ln.
