RUSSIANS ATTACKING AT SEVERAL POINTS.
REPULSE OF SEVERAL GERMAN ATTEMPTS. Australian and N.Z. Cable. (Received 11.20 p.m.) LONDON, March 28, A Russian communique states: 'I'German attacks at Illuxt, a few miles north-west of Dvinsk, and Posfcavy, 50 miles south of Dvinsk, were repulsed. A night attack at Boguchi, north-west of Krevo, occupied part of our trenches, but an immediate counter-attack restored the situation. We attacked with gas on the Stochod River, east of Kovel, near Baranovitch, about the centre of the line, and south of the River Shara, a tributary of the Niemen. Here we are fighting for positions lost on March 23. Enemy attacks south of the River Ussa, south-west of Moinesti, occupied part of our positions after a desperate fight."
