BOTHMER CONTINUES
DESPERATE RESISTENCE
international News Service.
PETKOGKAD, Aug. 18.—Dispatches
to grand headquarters today report a'
continuation of the desperate often- |
sive of the Bothmer forces in Galicia. 1
Tile report declares, however, that the
Teuton resistance is being gradually
broken dotvn at a number of points
along the north Dneister front and
the collapse of the offensive is mo
mentarily expected.
The Russian forces are holding well
and the furious Austro-German drives
have resulted in no gains of import
ance along the entire line. It is the
belief of the general staff that the ef
fort of Von Bothmer is in the nature
of a desperate attempt to prevent the
Russians from closing in on Gemberg
front the south and if found unavail
ing will result in the immediate evac
uation of a large section of the central
Galician territory including Lemberg
itself. The Teutons have gathered
their heaviest forces along the Dneis
ter and their greatest efforts are de
voted to this section.
