Brody, the largest Galician city northwest of Lemberg, and one of the chief objectives of the Russian drive, which aims at a new invasion of the Crown land and the capture of its capital, fell into the hands of the Russians on Friday. The fall of the city was announced by the War omce in a brief sentence supplementary to the regular official report, which told of the pursuit after the Austro-Hun- garians “in the direction of Brody.” Evidently with a view to prepar- ing the public for the loss of this important city, the Vienna War Office after admitting that the Russians had penetrated the Lrsznioff-Brody road, added: “We are still fighting on the southern edge of Brody.” Invade Northeastern Galicla Brody lies three and three-quarter miles from the Galician frontier. The city had been in Austrian hands since September 1, 1915, when it was cap- tured in Field Marshal von Macken- sen’s great drive, which carried his troops more than thirty miles west- ward beyond Brody. Simultaneously with the success at Brody, which makes the long-expected new Russian invasion of northeastern Galicia an accomplished fact, the Rus- sian army operating farther north, to the west of the Volhynian fortress of Lutsk, broke through the Whole first line of the Teutons, driving the de- fenders into a precipitate flight and taking 9,05; prisoners, including 50 officers, an1:;:1g Whom are two Generals and two regimental commanders, ac- cording to the Petrograd statement. Heavy Foe Losses A despatch to the Reuter Telegraph Company from Petrograd says: “Gen- eral von Linsingen’s recent losses on the Styr and Lipa Rivers are com- puted at least at 50,000 men out of the three corps engaged. The Rus- sians are on the point of entering the northeast corner of Galicia, Gen- eral Boehm-Ermolli and General Count von Bothmer being outfianked both on the nortl: and south. Farther south tussian troops have fought their way to within four miles of the summit of the Carpathians; This advance in. dicates an invasion of Hungary through Jablonitza Pass is near.

The British troops are continuing to gain important ground against the most desperate resistance yet faced in any theatre. With their full weight. of guns and with. thous- ands of trained reinforcements the Germans are contesting every inch of tho blood-soaked territory. Hold A3! of Delvme Wood The Germans have been completely driven from the Dolv‘llle Wood, just north of Longueval, a forest fortress behind the German third line of de- fence. The British won the last inch of und in this vital position by t attack. The wood was held .by the famous Brandenburt Corps, which has distinguished itself on every field from Warsaw to Verdun. and it was against these trained veterans that “ itc‘ueners Army of Clerks” scored its victory. Hungary.” Drove Enerriy From Delville Wood and Hold All of Longueval Village Under cove-r of an artillery fire so terrific that the German General Stan makes special comment upon it in their official report, the British con- tinued their onward swing, attacking the Teutons at Longueval, the forti- fied village which has seen some of the heaviest fighting of the war. With the Germans already driven In from most of their Oltlylng posi- tions the British troops attacked the main defence works of the village. carrying several of the strongest. Sir Douglas Haig Gives Strong Assur- ances of Confidence The following despatch was sent sent on l tzesday from British Head- quarters at the front by Frederick Palmer: “The third year of the war will be the allies’ year.
