Russians Grapple With Austrians Across Eastern Front
Across the eastern front from the Gulf of Riga to Bukowina heavy fighting and renewed offensives shift between German and Russian forces. The Russian drive against Austria and Germany continues into its second week, with prisoner losses surpassing 114000 and limited ground gained for Austrians and Germans in Galicia. In France Verdun remains under heavy bombardment with repulsed attacks and claims of French losses. Italian forces push the Austrians back in the Trentino area with gains in the Arsa valley and Pasubio sector as counterattacks are repelled near Scurelle.
