BIG DRAFTS FROM THE WEST.
Received 10-45 p.m., June 27. PETROGRAD, Jiune 27,
The Russians on the Kovel front advanced 48 miles' in ten days, until rapidly increasing enemy formations compelled them to slow down. They were forced to defend themselves against attacks by superior numbers, including the Tenth Prussian Corps (from Rheims), the Fifth Bavarian Corps (from Arras), and other from Laon and Verdun.
Prisoners state that the Kaiser said he intended to send seven German corps to Kovel if necessary to re-ttake Luck.
