DENIES AUSTRIANS
ON RUSSIAN SOIL
LONDON. .Tilin' 24. fTlio war office
asserts that there is no truth in the
reports that the Russians have been
driven out of Galicia and are now en
gaging tlic Austni-Germaii armies on
Russian soil. T.ate dis|tatches Indicate
that tlie Russians still retain a foot
hold along the Dneister although the
bulk of the Austrian armies arc along
or near the frontier. Heavy fighting
was reported north of Lemberg even
before tlie fall of tlip city and this is
also reportedf to continue. It is
believed that the grand duke Nicholas
may have had considerable difficulty
in withdrawing his men to the new
lines along the Hug river.
Owing to the hulk of the .Austrian
concentration being along the northern
and southeastern frontiers it is believ
ed that the Russians are still holding
considerable ground in central Oalicia.
The Russian reports indicate that the
Austrians withdrew the greater part of
the troops along the Dneister in order
to bring their heaviest weight on the
Russian lines at i.emberg.
