RUSSIAN SUCCESSES RENDER CZERNOWITZ UNTENABLE
RAILWAY EFFECTUALLY BOMBED BY AIRMEN. PRISONERS AND MACHINE-GUNS TAKEN. (Received 1 p.m.) PETRQGRAD, January 6. Advices show that Czernowitz was made untenable owing to the Russian successes. Austria admits that a portion of Czernowitz has been evacuated. Russian airmen were daily bombing the town, and their successes deprived the enemy of the Czernowitz-Zaleszczyki railway, running northward from Czernowitz to the River Dniester. North-east of Czernowitz fighting continues, and over one thousand prisoners and four machine-guns were taken. A Russian communique states that the Russians seized further positions in Bukowina, north-eastwards of Ozernowitz. The enemy suffered heavy losses.
