The good news comes from Tarnopol, in Galicia. Here a
combined German and Austrian force was heavily defeated, and it would probably have been utterly routed had the weight of Russian artillery-fire been equal to that of the enemy. As it was, the Russians took more than ten thousand prisoners, including over two hundred officers, thirty guns, and many machine guns. Further south, in the Trembovl district, the Russians have taken about three thousand prisoners and some guns. Between the Dniester and the Lower Sereth over a thousand Austrians with quick-firing guns were also captured. On the whole, we may now fairly say that the Russians have held the enemy sufficiently to make a large German triumph amt of the question this year. Napoleon reached Moscow by the middle of September. The Germans are decidedly too late for anything on the grand scale.
