It arrived too late, how ever, for comment in the evening editions. The Russian success naturally has caused gratification and relief and now military experts expect that there will be a repetition In Galicia of what occurred before Warsaw last winter when the Ger mans Buffered enormous losses In their efforts to break the Russian front on the Bzura and Rawka rivers. As on that occasion Russian reinforcements arrived In time to force hack a portion of Gen eral Linsingcn's army which had crossed the Dniester river, near Zurawna, before It could be strengthened and entrenched. Teuton ItrpnrK 5llent. The German and the Austrian reports make no mention of the fighting; In this region, but from an account Issued In Petrograd the Austro-Germans must have suffered very heavy reverses to have lost seventeen guns and 7,000 prisoners. In fact military men express the be lief that very few of those who crossed the river could have draped. The Russians also claim that further up the Dniester, directly south of Lem berg, they have pressed their opponents back and have taken another 1,000 pris oners while near Mosciska to the east of Pi-zeinysl they say the Germans suffered very severely when they attacked the Russian position. In eastern Galicia and In Hukowlna the Russians continue to fall back to the Dniester under the Aus trian pressure.
