been slowly forcing. its way through ' the Anglo-French "
armies towards Paris, has made further progress, accord?
.lng to the German official report issued today, and has
now driven the allies back behind Oonde.‘ “

the neat stop of the allied armies.
This nevus was a great disappointment here where
earlier official reports from Paris to the effect that the
Germans had suffered a check near Verdun led to the
hope that the ad\ ance had at last been stopped.
In Lorraine and the Vo‘sges region, where the Ger~
man- forces were weakened to strengthen their right flank,
the French appear to be holding their own, if not mak-
“ing an advance.
The allies take some consolation from the fact that
-thc Russian defeat of the Austrians around Lemberg',
which town has fallen into the hands of the Russians,
With its immense stock of war material and provisians,
apparently is compibte. \Tlic possession of Lemberg gives
the Russians a base‘from which they can work and
from; which they can attack in the rear of the Austrian
army which has been invading Russian territory.
“ In a battle lasting almost a fortnight lhe Austrians
have suffered terrible kisses, 12,000 having fallen- iu one
place alone, while the Russian general claims to have
taken thousands of prisoners and 200 guns. The Aus-
trian retreat, it appears from official advices, has been
turned into a rout
