saved the city from the levy.

lion Germans and Austrians, who
are concentrating .on this line to
save the Kaiser's territory, and
1,500,000 Russians.
Belief that the direct Russian ad-:
vanes against Germany is rapidly
progressing is 'partially confatmed
by an announement of the Breslau
Gazette that the military authori-
•ties there have out all: telegraph
