RUSSIANS CONFIDENT OF STAYING ENEMY'S ONSLAUGHT
FOUR HUNDRED MILES BATTLE-FRONT IN NORTH. AUSTRIANS LOSE 70,000 IN LUBLIN REVERSE. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, July 19. The Russians are confident of their ability to hold the Germans in the Prasnysz region and also on the Narew, Lublin, and Chelm lines. Should the enemy make a fifth attempt to force the Vistula and capture Warsaw, it is believed that it will be no more successful than the previous four attempts. The Austrian losses south of Lublin are now estimated at nearly 70,000 and they were largely responsible for bringing General von Mackensen's offensive to a standstill. The Germans' new northern offensive covers a front of four hundred miles, and heavy fighting is progressing practically over the whole distance. The German troops include 50.000 raw levies rushed up from the interior of Germany.
