FOE LEAVE CZERNOWITZ Capital of Bukowina Again Un- der Russian Control. Great Slav Advance of Past Ten Days Has Resulted in Great Gains in Volhynia and Captures of Prison- . ers mount AlreadyOver 10S - A to , 000 Officers and Men—Germans Attack in the North. PETROGRAD, Sone 13,—Heavy fighting is in progress over virtually the entire eastern front from the Gulf of Riga to Bukowina, a distance of between 600 and 700 miles. From Riga to the Jasiolda River, north- west of the Pripet marsh region, the Germans have taken the offensive against the Russians, probably in an effort to divert the attention of the Russians, who are in the second week of their drive against the Austro- Hungerians and Germans from the Pripet marshes southward to Buko- wine. A telegram received from Bucha- rest, Roumania, says the Austrian army has evacuated Czernowitz and moved to a line four miles to the west. As the Russian troops drew near Czernowitz numerous explosions indicated that the Austrians were destroying the fortifications before evacuating the city. Two entire Austrian divisions with their gen- erals and other officers and batteries were captured. Unchecked in their drive against the Austrians, the Russians are sweeping forward in Volhynia and Galicia. In the latter sector, after capturing Buczacz, the important railway town on the west bank of the lower Stripa, regarded as the strategical gateway to Bukowina, and smashing the enemy lines along the Stripa and Dniester, General Brusiloff's troops are moving on the Gnita Lipa, 12 miles west of the Zlota Lipa at Potok, and are seri- ously threatening Lemberg. At sev- eral points the Austrians' defence has crumpled completely and their retreat has become almost a rout. The town and fortress of Dubno, 25 miles from the Galician frohtier, fell into the hands of the Russians Sunday. With at the Czar's forces are again in the possession of the Volhynian fortress triangle, consist- ing of Lutsk, Dubno, and Rovno. Dubno, which bad been in the hands of the Austrians since Septem- ber 7 last, lies on the Rovno-Brody- Lemberg railway, and is about 82 miles from the Galician capital. Simultaneously with the drive in Volhynia the exertme left wing of the Russian southern army forced the Austro -Hungarians to withdraw their whole line in- north-east Buko- wine, and advanced to within only 16 miles of its capital, Czernowitz. The Austrian War Office admits the with- drawal of the lines in north-eastern Bukowina. The Petrograd official stories of the fighting, as contained in the com- munications of Saturday and Sunday make interesting reading. "Our offensive in Volhynia, Galicia and Bukowina obtained fresh suc- cesses yesterday. The enemy armies continue to suffer enormous losses in prisoners alone," say the War Office reports. `Troops under General Brushoff, fighting with enemy rear guards, have crossed the River Styr above and below Lutsk. The forces which crossed the river are pursuing the. enemy, who is endeavoring to hold his position in the rear. "In Galicia north-east of Tarnopol, in the regions of Gliadki and Tse- broff, heavy fighting is proceeding for the possession of heights which have changed hands several times. "The piercing of the enemy front in the region of the Stripa has re- sulted in our occupation of a forti- fied position on the east bank of the river. At dawn to -day our troops entered Buczacz, and, developing the offensive along the Dniester River, carried the village of Scianka. In the village of Potok Zlota we seized a Iarge artillery park and large quan- tities of shells, "The fierce attacks of our troops are throwing into our hands thou Sands upon thousands of prisoners and booty of all kinds, the exact esti- mation of which is as yet impos- sible. During Friday's fighting we cap- tured 97 officers, 5,500 men, and 11 guns, snaking the total up to the present 1,240 o1leers, about 71,000 leen, 94 guns, 167 machine guns, 53 bomb mortars, and a large quantity of other war material. "During Saturday's fighting we took as prisoners one general, 409 officers, and 35,100 soldiers. We also captured 30 guns, 13 machine guns, and five bonib throwers.
