TARNOPOL BATTLE.
WHAT GERMANY PLANNED. ENCIRCLING MOVEMENT. FRONT THIRTY MILES LONG(Received September 11. 1.25 a.m.), Peteograd, September 10. Military critics discussing the Russian victory at Tarnopol point out that the Germans intended an invasion, of Volkynia and Padolia with the immediate object of striking -it the Russians' rear from Rovno to Dubno and Kremenets. The local conditions were favourable for such a blow, there being plenty of good roads and no broad streams or extensive forests to facilitate the Russian defence. The battle of Tarnopol was fought on a front of 30 miles along a stream flowing parallel with th«» railway two miles west of the town of Tarnopol. The Germans made elaborate preparations to break the Russian front with immense accumulations of am- | munition.
