RUSSIANS BLOW BRE ACH .- u“, ..... Special despatches from Petrof‘gl'fld express the belief that the Russian successes against the Austrians are far more important than appears from the official announcements. The Daily Telegraph’s correspon-‘ dent ventures the assertion on the am thoriby of a prominent Russian expert’ that. “all five Austrian armies are oni the eve of a general retreat, and thatl Lamberg. is in great strategic danger." L On the same authority it is aSSerted bhat “a strategic breach 100 miles wide has been blown in the Austrian front, involving the armies of General Count von Bothmer and General von Boehm~ErmoHi, and part of that. Of Archduke Joseph Ferdinand. passing in intensity any previous ef- forts on either side on the east front. The retreat of many Austrian trench detachments was completely cut off by a curtain of shrapnel through which it was impossible for any liv-1 ing thing to pass, and the Austrians were thfis compelled to surrender en masse. According to other despatches. the Russian success is largely due to the unprecedented use of artillery, sur- losses at 200,000. The Volhynian fortress of Lutsk, 30 miles from the Galicianfrontier, fell into Russian hands last Tuesday, the first important capture by the Czar‘s forces since the great Spring drive on the 250-mile front from the Pripet to the Roum-anian border be- gan. ‘L All Five of the Teuton The losses ETIrhe fall of Lutsk was announced by the Russian War Office on Thursday night. New Invasion From North. The capture of Lutsk threatens the Austrians with a new invasion of Ga- licia from the north. Vienna de- apatches express the fear that the abandonment of Dubno. the apex of the Volhynian fortress triangle, will become automatically necessary, and the fall of that stronghold would com- pel the Austro-Hungarians to retire within the Galician border. The Russians, according to Petro- grad. scored another notable success in the last 24 hours. Pushing forward A dospatch from London says: There was much satisfaction express- ed at the Admiralty on Thursday over the publication of the admission by the German Naval Department of the loss of the battle cruiser Luizow of 26,000 tons and the armored cruiser Rostock of 4,900 tons. British reports of the naval battle of? Skagerrack had accounted for these German ships among others, which the Berlin state- ments had steadfastly omitted. The official admission that the loss of these vessels was withheld “for mili- tary reasons" impugns the veracity of the German claim as to the results of the battle generally, in the opinion TEUTDNS ABMET WERE SEA LOSS A despatch from London says A despatch from London says: “The victory won by the Russians is with- out a parallel in military history," says a Petrograd despatch tu Reu- ter's Telegram Company. “The Bus: sians now occupy the whole triangu- lar fortified positions of Kolki, Lutsk and Olyka. “Military writers dwell on the great strategic importance of this triâ€" angle, which includes some of the best Austrian communication lines, and connects the centre between Poliessie, Volhynia and Poland and the roads to Gaiicia and Bukowina. "The Russians fought their way to Lutsk. a distance of twenty-five miles, in three days, through forests and in three days, through forests and marsh lands and over battered de- fences, the invincibility of which the Austro-Germans had been boasting throughout the winter and spring.

The Volhynia fortress of Dubno has been captured by the Russians, and the Governor of the great forbress of Lemberg has been ordered by the Austro-Hungarian authorities to pre- pare to leave the city. The Austrians, on Vienna’s admis- sion, have been driven across the Strypa; the Russians have crossed the Styr above Lutsk, and in a strong development along the Dneister have taken Buozacz and another army of prisoners has been captured. Buczacz is a most important railway town on the lower Strypa, and is regarded as the strategical gateway to Bukowina. of abtaches of the Admiralty. Fur- ther admissions confirming the Britâ€" ish reports are looked for. In an effort to dam the Russian flood, 45,000 Austrians have been withdrawn from the Italian front. It is said that the evacuation of Czer- nowitz has been ordered, and that there is a panicky feeling in Vienna, which is crowded with fleeing Gali- cians.

Hardly less important is the Russian success in Galicia, where the Austrian positons between Trybuchovce and Jaslovitz, south of Buczacz, have been forced and the Austrians driven beyond the Strypa. In Bukowina again the Austrians were driven back south of Okna, and the head of the railway leading to Czerno- vitz is in Russian hands. CHAS. E. HUGHES CHOSEN. The Late Lord Kitchener entering Sb.

BlG WAR VOTE Two Socialists Oppose New Credit of $3,000,000,000 A despatch from Berlin says :â€" The Budget was passed by the Reich- stag onWedne-sday, the only opposi- tion being the Socialist votes. There was almost complete unanimity in providing the new'war credit of $3,- 000,000.000, only two Socialists cast» ing their ballots against it. Dr. Heif- ferich, Minister of Finance, told the Reichstag that the war expenditures from January to May. 1916, were ap- proximately $500,000,000 a month. This, he declared, was extraordinarly small in View of the enormous quan~ tity of munitions that has been pro~ vided to carry out the Verdun offen- sxve.

Ample funds to carry on the operations until then are on hand from the last loan in February, when more than $2,500,000,000 was obtained. A dcspatch from Ottawa says: The Postofl‘ice Department has received information that gifts sent from Can~ ada to soldiers. from Canada serving in British regiments stationed in Great Britain, and to naval reservists and others from Canada serving in the navy, are exempt from customs duty, provided they are addressed in care of the Canadian War Contingent Association, Army Postofl‘ice, London England. Arrangements have been made for this association to act as a central authority for the distribution of such parcels from Canada, and free customs entry is restricted to such parcels as are sent through the asso- iciation. Germany Claims She Will Occupy Town on Date Arranged. A despatch from Berlin says: The German General Stafl’ figured that Verdun would fall in five months. German military experts now ex- press the view that all expectations \‘vill be even surpassed. In quarters, where facts, not feelings, acts, not assertions. chunt, it is confidently pre. dicted that Verdun will be in the hands of the Germans in the first week of July.

The disaster has now been located at two miles from shore, between Marwick Head and the Brough of Bil-say, on the north-west coast of the Island of Pomona, the largest of the Orkney group.
