GERMANS FALLING BACK.
HIE STRUGGLE IN GALICIA.
ADVANCE OF RUSSIANS.
ENEMY'S STRENGTH IN EAST.
(Eeceived September 13. 1 a.m.)
London, September 12.
A message from Geneva says the Russians' offensive on the Sereth has reached the Lemberg-Dubno Railway, where the Austro-Germans are vainly resisting the Russian advance.
Beuter's Petrograd correspondent lays there are two and a-half million iustro-Germans on the Russian front. Twenty-eight German corps are in the Baltic and Lithuania, 20 Austro-German corps in the Pripet region, and 12 German and 30 Austrian corps in Galicia, including 11 Austrian and nine German cavalry divisions.
The Germans are feverishly restoring Kovno. Two forts are being constructed on the eastern side of the town, and continuous lines of concreted trenches are being built between the inner and outer forts. Guns of the heaviest calibre' are being mounted.
