Southmst of Kimpolung, towards the southern end of the fighting line, the Russians were forced back some- what in the region of Negrey.

A despatch from Petrograd says:â€" The beginning of a partial offensive by the Russians in Galicia in the direc- tion of Trembowla is announced by the War Office. A hostile position was carried in this movement. The army of Crown Prince Rup- precht evidently considers the British gain north-east of Ypres the most important made in Tuesday’s battle, for upon this territory he has con- centrated the strongest of his coun- ter-offensive operations in an attempt to regain the lost ground.

The most part of the day was spent by the British and French troops in consolidating positions won in Tues- day’s spectacular drive or in putting down strong German counter-attacks, made in endeavors to wrest from their antagonists their former positions, At two points near Ypres the Get- mans, using great masses of men, were Successful in their counterâ€"at- tacks against the British, compelling the evacuation of Haig’s troops of the village of St. Julien, but this advant- age was offset in the Zillebeke and Yser Canal sectors, where, respective- A despatch from London says:â€" A torrential rainfall and the resultant turning of the battlefieldâ€"already hard of negotiation at many pointsâ€" into a veritable quagmire retarded, but failed to halt, during Wednesday the great allied offensive against the Germans in Flanders.

One division alone, in the course of a single day, succeeded under fire in throwing seventeen bridges on its front. ' A despatch from London sayszâ€"A Reuter despatch from British Headâ€" quarters in France, after describing the victorious advance of the British, says that the Yser was crossed in many places.. ' There is no indication in either the British or French official communica- tions just when their combined push again will be started, but it is possible that at least a day of warm sunshine will 'be necessary to dissipate the quagmire so that the big allied guns may be realigned and to permit the airmen to relocate the positions the foe is holding.

The battlefield is said‘ to be literally strewn with German dead. “The oil shells referred to by cor- respondents at the front are the latest 'new weapon," says an ordnance man in the Evening Standard. “They are ‘the necessary reprisal forced by the 1diabolical inventions of the German oi] idrums or canisters. They are con- structed in the form of shells, the casings of which are so thin that they burst easily after explosion, the small charge within scattering the flaming contents. They are fired from trench mortars. They are an effective reply to the flamenwerfer of the Germans, which are merely tanks carried on soldiers’ backs and worked by a hand pump \"ith fire nozzle attachment.” The newest tanks have heavier guns, says the Standard, and the re- coil often tosses the huge machines literally about. The crews are now trained to avoid tank sickness, and it is necessary to get “tank legs.” ly, the British and French troops ad- vanced their lines.

The withdrawal from Corinth and other occupied points was previously executed. The Italians are similarly preparing to leave Janina and other sections of Piraeus, retaining only a small tri- angle‘ near Avlona, in Albania.
