berg, the Galician. capital.
Persistent German attacks at first

a Russian regiment near the centre
the line voluntarily left its trench
and retired, forcing the other units on
the line to fall back. This movement,
Petrograd says, gave the Germans op-
portunity for developing their move-
ment. Some Russian troops are re-
ported to have refused to obey their
commanders under the influence of
the extremists who brought about the
recent disorders in the Russian capi-
tal. Prince Leopold led the Austr
