Germans Claim Western Galicia Victory Denied by Russians
Reports from Petrograd say Austro German claims of a great Galicia win are contradicted. Russians regroup after a Dunajec offensive and recapture most lost ground. Berlin telegraphs call the Galicia victory more significant than Mazurian lakes, with large prisoner totals and shattered Russian units. A British steamer was torpedoed off Scilly, with two dead firemen, as German submarine activity continues. In other notes a German warship shelled the Lagaker lighthouse near the Bothnia gulf. Italy’s minimum demands have been sent to Berlin.
