_VIENNA, June 9, (via London.)--The Austrian War Office issued the
following official communication tonight:_
South of the Dniester the Russians have again lost ground. After many
victorious engagements the [Teutonic] allies yesterday reached, to the
north of Kolomea, the Kulacz-Kowcekorzow line and occupied the heights
of Otynia. In the evening they occupied Stanislau, and made a further
advance toward Halicz. The day's captures amounted to 5,570 prisoners.
No important events have occurred on the remainder of the front in
Poland and Galicia.
GERMAN SETBACK IN THE NORTH.
_BERLIN, (via London,) June 10.--An official announcement from Army
Headquarters today states that the German forces which invaded the
Baltic provinces of Russia have retreated. Following is the text of
the statement:_
To the southeast of Shavli the Russians offered strong resistance
yesterday to our advance. Minor progress was made. The booty taken by
us in the last two days in this district amounts to 2,250 prisoners
and two machine guns.
The enemy brought forward reinforcements from a northeasterly
direction in opposition to our encircling movement on the east of the
Dubysa. On account of this menace our wing was withdrawn toward the
line of Beisagola-Zoginie without being interfered with by the enemy.
South of the Niemen River we took 3,200 Russian prisoners, while in
pursuit of the enemy since June 6. We also captured two flags, twelve
machine guns, and many field kitchens and carts.
In the southeastern theatre the situation to the east of Przemysl
remains unchanged.
Fresh Russian forces advanced from the region of Mikolaiow and
Rohatyn, to the south and the southeast of Lemberg, respectively.
Their attack was repulsed by parts of the army under General Linsingen
on the line of Lityma, northeast of Drohobac, and Zurawna, in the
Dniester section.
East of Stanislau and at Kaledniz battles and pursuit continue.
NORTH OF SHAVLI.
_BERLIN, June 13, (via London.)--The following report of the
operations on the Russian front was issued by the War Office today:_
In the eastern theatre our attack northwest of Shavli made good
progress. Kuzie was taken by storm. Enemy counter-attacks failed.
Eight officers and 3,350 men and eight machine guns were captured.
Southeast of the Mariampol-Kovno Road battles against Russian
reinforcements arriving from the south have commenced.
North of Przasnysz another 150 prisoners were made.
Our invasion into the enemy lines south of Bolimow was followed in the
night by Russian counter-attacks, all of which were unsuccessful. The
gained positions are firmly in our hands. Our booty in this sector has
been increased to 1,600 prisoners, eight cannon, two of which are of
heavy calibre, and nine machine guns.
