International News Service.
l’ETROGRAD, Oct. t.—A victorious
advance of the Russian forces in Gal
icia is announced officially.
The center of the Russian line un
der General St. Cherbamcheff is re
ported as having crossed the Lipa riv
er, a tributary of the Pneister, about
forty miles southeast of Romberg. The
important railway center of Rrzezany
is threatened in an enveloping move
ment. The outskirts of the city, ac
cording to Ihe. announcement, were in
flames and a heavy bombardment was

The capture of Rrzezany, ii is de
clared, will allow the .renter to advance

cessful defence of Rrzezany by the
Austrians the envelopment of Remherg
lias been greatly retarded.

GREAT BATTLE DOBRUDJA FRONT
CLIMAX OF BALKAN CAMPAIGN
international News Service.
LONDON, Oct. 4.—One of the great
est battles of the war both as in
length of front and as to the numbers
of men engaged is announced as now
in progress on the Dobnulja. front.
The battle line extends from Tur
tukai south of the Danube to the
Black sea. offensive operations were
begun by the Roumanians and Rus
sians along the whole extent of the
front. They arc being aided near the
sea by the Russian Black sea Heel ,
which continually shells the Bulgar
ian positions within reach of the naval
guns.
That the battle has begun and is
raging furiously is all that is non
known of the colossal struggle. In the
estimation of military experts this
battle which has been in preparation
for some time is the climax of the
Balkan campaign.
If tlm Russians and Roumanians
succeed in crushing tin' central pow
ers on liiis front, that result together
with the Roumanian invasion of Bul
garia at a point to the westward of
the present contest will go far toward
severing Austria from Turkey which
will throw the central allies into lie
greatest confusion.
RERUN Oct. 4. The allied Rus
sian and Roumanian attacks along
the whole Dohrudja front here failed
to gain the slightest advantage.
Considering his immense losses and
his lack of success the enemy may
he said to have met an overwhelming
reverse. Tin- lighting is still in two -
gress.
