WEDGE DRIVEN BETWEEN

ENEMY FORCES

FURTHER HASTY RETIREMENT

UNAVOIDABLE

(Received July 13, 1.10 p.m.) PETROGRAD, July 12. The dash of the Russian ' Eighth Army westward drives a wedge be'"^een Leopold of Bavaria to the north and the Archduke Joseph in the south. It is now clear that General Korniloff's was the Russian main attack, and,the operations of the Seventh and Eleventh Armies were only auxiliary. The enemy front on the river Narajowka has been turned from the south, $nd the enemy is bound to - retire hastily across the Gnila Lipa, of which the lower reaches are already in Russian hands. %

Cavalry and Cossacks are tirelessly driving the enemy from one river to another.
