London, July 7—What Petrogra<
haraetorues as the mightiest strug
.e of the preseut war is now goln^
n iu southern Polaud and that part
f Galicia close to the border, north
ist of Lemberg. Russia aeknowledg
s that the Germanic forces are her
superior in artillery, but at the same
me she claims to have stopped the
Ivanc.e under Mackensen, so that tht
-.ighty force which wrought such
avoc with her troops in Galicia has
>st its momentum. The Germans
.st night claimed to have broken the
ussinn line near Basnik, driving one
section east and the other toward
ue city of Lubin, in Poland, so that
'here is little to halt them now or
ganized between their present position
nd Warsaw. The Russians say that
-eir line is intact, and that the Ger
■ans have been compelled to fall back
om their line of inarch between the
ieprz and Bug riverms, which mark
i the right wing of the German foc
s. This the Russians state was ef
eeted by simultaneous attacks on
Mli front and flank of the advnne
g armies. The military authorities
ere rather credit this last claim of
ie Russians as this is the first time
.'.ring the fighting in the eastern
.eater that the Germanic flank has
on exposed to cavalry attacks. With
e exception of the Bug river itself,
e country in this region contains
■thing that will interfere with the

i is understood that the Russian
ivalry has been massing north of
