Brusque War Notes Describe Russian Center Shifts and German Losses
A Petrograd report outlines Allied notes urging Britain to modify the blockade and declaring equal pressure on Germany. It details Grand Duke Nicholas shifting his center three times on the Stry front, with Austro German forces exhausted and Russians pressing gains near Stry and Lemberg while defending crossings on the Dniester. The Blücher offensive near Mikolajow shows German efforts failing as Russians repulse Zidaczow and push back across the Dniester, with 40,000 prisoners taken and 120 machine guns and 24 cannon captured in a 38 mile front amid growing German demoralization.
