The great Russian offensive has developed most favourably. After striking
hard last week at the enemy's centre in Galicia, north and south of Brzezany, General Brussiloff has delivered a still more vigorous blow at his right flank between the Dniester and the Carpathians. This movement began on Friday week with an advance on a broad front west of Stanislau, where the Russians stopped in August last. Last Sunday the Russians burst through the enemy lines at Jamnica, taking seven thousand prisoners and forty-eight guns. The Cossacks hustled the retreating enemy so vigorously that he could not make a stand. On Tuesday the Russians captured Halle., and on Wednesday they were in Kalusz. A glance at the map shows that they can now outflank the Brzezeny lines from the south and compel their evacuation. General Korniloff, who now repeats the successes gained by General Lechitsky in this sector last year, is the son of a Siberian peasant, and one of the most popular men in the Russian Army.
