LINE AFTER LINE OF TRENCHES CAPTURED.
PROGRESS OF THE RUSSIANS IN BUKOVINA. GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN THE SUPPLY OF MUNITIONS. (Received January 11, 1-2A5 a.m.) . London, January 10. The London Times' correspondent at the Russian headquarters states that last New Year the whole Eussian Army was reduced to one shot per gun daily. The present contrast is a matter for heartiest congratulation. Early in October, thirteen German and two Austrian divisions assembled on the Servian frontier. A fortnight ago these divisions began to reappear. There are now 245 battalions between Kovel and Lemberg, under the Archduke Joseph Ferdinand, and 250 battalions and 75 squadrons under General Mackensen, in addition to divisions returning from the Danube. The Germans expect the severest blow from the Russian left flank, and are endeavouring to counter it by striking at the Russian centre. A slight frost ha* hardened the soil, without preventing entrenching. The Russians are capturing line after line of the enemy's trenches.
