HALICZ BATTLE.
ENEMY’S DESPERATE STAND. ISSUJ STILL UaJyiV-'iED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. PETROGRAD, t’eptomber 19. The poverty of information in the Russian communiques indicates the importance of the desperate Rattle in tho Hnliez region (Galicia). The Russians have since Saturday been engaged in a general attack upon the Austro-German trenches. Several villages, hills, and woods have, been taken and retaken again and • again before the Germans fell back.
The fiercest fighting was on the banks of the Narajowka. The Germans, instead of awaiting the Russian infantry, threw troops against the Russian lines, but tho attack ended in a retreat, and the Kus «ans pursued until the enemy’s first lino was captured and consolidated.
