Interest in the Rumanian situation continues to overshadow over-shadow minor episodes on the Russian Rus-sian western front, particularly since the approach of winter already has precluded the possibility -of further operations on a large scale in this theatre. There has been, however, a noticeably notice-ably growing tendency on the part of the Germans to begin a more or less serious offensive at various points in Galicia, the most important of which is the one undertaken south of Brze-zany Brze-zany where the Russian positions along the Narayuvka river have offered of-fered exceptional advantages for a flanking attack upon. Hallcz from the north and at tho same time constituting constitut-ing a direct menace to Lemberg. The Germans aimed thrusts all along tho line from Brzezany to Halicz but concentrating most heavily in the region of Michishou wood, began a determined attack on the night of October Oc-tober 29, which carried the Russian positions. Russian critics, although manifestly surprised at the German ability to launch an offensive of large forces at this point, do not consider the hostile advance over a six-mile front of more than local importance, and state that its only significance is in relation to the Transylvanian operation being an obvious attempt to create a diversion and prevent further Russian co-operation on the Transylvania front, where General von Falkenhayn, after being temporarily checked, is. making a new effort to advance. |
