Austria and Germany Becoming
sians were holding' in strength.
While' naturally the Russians, like
the other belligerents, do not relish
giving lip any ground gained, they
declare that this is oon3pensated by
the fact that their aggressiveness
has compelled the Austro -Germans
to postpone .the expedition which
they were preparing -with the object
Of crushing Serbia. Russia hopes
that Roumania, with her financial
position guaranteed by the recent
London loan of $25,000,000, will
soon send her army into the field'
and form the missing -link between
Russia and Serbia.
A particularly violent conrifer
ok place at AtIpe ke, two milts
north of Soehaszew. In 30 ininutes
of the fighting at the start the Ger-
mans lost 500 killed in taking a Rus-
sian trench, from which bhey were
driven later by a bayonet charge,
The recent encounters have been
favorable to the Russians, accord-
ing toihe official report of the gen-
eral staff at Petrograd.
A Russian officer who had charge
of a battery of machine guns at At'
Lanka, in an interview sent from
Petrograd, says that his detach
ment took their assigned positions
and lay waiting for the Germans,
whose trenches; were 2,000 yards
away on a slight elevation. At day-
break the enemy's cavalry appear-
ed, and rode to within 600 yaiircls of
the Russian positions, where they
halted, At that moment the ma-
chine guns broke into fire, and most
of the German horsemen were
killed,
Half an hour later at least three
regiments of German infantry ap-
peared over the hill and . started
building entrenchments. Before
they had hardly begun, the Rus-
sians were out of their trenches and
at them. Three volleys from the
, Russian foot soldiers preceded a
' charge, which drove the Germans
back. It was in this %ffaar that the
Kaiser's troops ;suffered the loss of
500 men. Later the Germane tried
a flanking movement, bat were kept
off,

A despatch from London says:
The Daily Telegraph has the fol-
lowing from Harwich : A report is
current here'that another success
has attended the vigilance . of the
British patrol ships in the North
Sea. The story is that two destroy-
ers when near the German coast on
Sunday sighted the periscope. of a
submarine. It was apparently the
intention of the latter to attack one
of the British ships, and aecording-
ly the commander of the. other des-
troyer boldly charged the submar-
ine. The members of the crew of
this destroyer believe that the sub-
mersible craft was rammed, as they
state that oil was afterwards seen
on .the -surface of the sea.

was the sole survivor of a gallant
machine gun section, which fought
to the last and inflicted immense
losses on the enemy. The second is.
of the 39th Gakdiwalis, and won dis-
tinction when part of the British
trenches were occupied by the Ger-
mans. Traverse after traverse of
the ruptured trendhs was stormed,
