Petrogracf, July 21

The new Russian blow in Volhynia opens tip possibilities of action in the Vladimir-Volynsky and' Lemberg regions. The enemy are no longer able to counter Kaladin either north or south. Nearly all the Austrian armies are now broken up, and the Germans are xmable to send assistance.

Pflanzer's forces are retiring beyond the Carpathians into Transylvania. Meanwhile the Austrian population, panic-stricken, are hurriedly removing valuables from Lemberg.

Correspondents at the front pay a tribute to the desperate bravery of some of the Germans, who voluntarily fettered themselves to machine guns, three being fettered to each gun, including an officer. The Russians found some still working their guns standing in pools of their own blood.
