KOVEL FRONT
HEAVY CAPTURE'S OF GERMANS'.
A FICTION .DISSIPATED
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.)
(Rec. July .17. 1.15 p.m.) LONDON, July 16.
(Mr Washburn, from the Kovel front, states that more 'than half the 42.000 captures here are 'Germans, dissipating tho fiction of German invincibility against the Hussians. Although the Germans are constantly adding guns and machine guns they are finding a difficulty in filling the human blanks, while the Russian depots are jammed with reserves, a.nd there are plenty of rifles, excluding 300.000 captured during the offensive. The weather is intensely hot. Many of the captures are due to exhaustion. It is impossible that such intense fighting can continue for long without breaking the German line.
