GERMANS' SUPPLIES DEPLETED

The battle of the San is developing in cur favour. We crossed the Lubaczowka and occupied the village of Monasterz. inflicting heavy*losses.

On the front Zaderawacz —Bolechow —Jaworow we repulsed several attacks, and then assumed the offensive, taking seven thousand prisoners and thirty

quick-firers

The enemy began a disorderly re-

treat.

During the fighting betw.een the Gallitze and the Dunajetz the enemy used 1500 guns before the assault, discharging 700,000 projectiles in four hours, which it is estimated would require a thousand waggonis.

On another position one of our commands received ten thousand bombs.

The Germans have exhausted the supply at Cracow and other fortresses and the infantry are now ohviously lacking a supply of artillery.
