RUSSIANS OCCUPY VALUABLE STRATEGIC POSITION. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. PiEIS. July 14. The Russian correspondent of the Paris Journal, M. Xaudau, states that stirring details are to hand from the Chartorysk-Rafalovka front., south of the Pripet. When the Austro-Germans were hemmed in on three sides they decided to retreat. There remained only one loophole for escape, a narrow passage, 11 miles in extent, into -which they rushed.
