Show BREAKING OF THE TEUTONIC FRONT PETROGRAD, July 11. In the capture cap-ture of Halicz the Russian revolutionary revolution-ary army, so discredited during the last few months, has reached in a single niovo the objective fought for so stubbornly but without success by General Brussiloff's triumphant forces of last summer in a long and arduous campaign. This feat means the definite defi-nite piercing of the Austro-German lines on a broad front, and not merely a local penetration, which was accomplished accom-plished by the first Russian victory west of Tarnopol. The activity of tho Russian armies has now spread from Tarnopol to the Carpathians, and5 thoy are steadily pushing forward on a continuous front more than 100 miles long. Lemberg Is now open to attack from Halicz. It is also likely that tho Austrian Aus-trian line, which has long been based on the Gnila Lipa river, will be forced to retire and as the Russian movement developes in tho direction of Lemberg it is sure to have an affect on the siU uation in the Kovel-Vladimir-Volynsk region. |
