From The Czar's Armies on River Front
London dispatch notes that Russian forces along the Dniester are completely whipped and hampered by a munitions shortage. Heavy fighting north of Lemberg precedes the fall of the city as Grand Duke Nicholas withdraws to a new line. Critics admit offensive power has waned for some time, with years needed to wear down Austro German aggression. Naval news reports the Roxburgh in the North Sea diverted by torpedo damage and resumed steam. Posters call for 10 Sier George's munition workers.
