GERMANS STILL SUCCESSFUL.

DIFFICULTY OF MAINTAINING SUPPLIES. LONDON, May 22. The Morning Post’s Fetrogracl cone* spondent slates that the Germans’ main onset is in the centre of Galicia along a st)=milc front, where lias been concentrated half a million of the flower of the German army, including various crack regiments from France. Every yard is disputed day and night. The momentum of the Macedonian phalanx was irresistible, but it offered a terrible mark for the Russian arilb lery. There has been no such whole* sale sacrifice of life since the battle of the Bzura. The head of the phalanx strongly holds the right bank of the

San; the remainder is stiii on the left bank. The situation remains grave. The Germans continue to liave the best of the struggle, but there is now a feeling that they lack mobility. There is an increasing difficulty in maintaining a full pressure of supplies. Several hua= dred guns were left behind. GERMANS ON THE BALTIC COAST, LONDON, May 21. The Times Petrograd correspondent says that tho enemy is showing increased activity in the north. For conveying war supplies and long-range guns they are constructing a railway along the Baltic coast. The Russians are fighting stubbornly.
