Russians Reform Behind Gnila Lipa as Linsingen Drive Opens
London reports the Russian center in Galicia rapidly reforming behind the Gnila Lipa before Gen. von Linsingen’s Dniester drive. The retreat stems from Russian losses in Lemberg, strengthening Austro German lines and solidifying control of the Galician capital. Western front fighting is fruitless except near Arras to the sea. Italian advance is slow. Austrian troops may shift from Galicia to help halt it. Gallipoli bombardments pound the Turkish right wing with no decisive result.
