This feat means the definite piercing of the Auelro-German Auelro-German lines on a broad front, and not merely a local penetration, which was accomplished by the first Russian victory west of Tarnopol. The activity of the Russian armies has now spread from Tarnopol to the Carpathians Car-pathians and they are steadily pushing forward on a continuous front of more than 100 miles. , Lemberg is now open to attack from Halicz. It is also likely that the Austrian Aus-trian line, which has long been based on the Gnila Lipa river, will be forced to retire, and as the Russian movement develops de-velops in the direction of Lemberg It is sure to have an effect on t he situation in the Kovel-Vladimlr-Voiynsk region. |
