ON THE EASTERN FRONT.
ATTEMPT TO SECURE RUSSIAN RAILWAY FAILS.
LONDON, July 9.
The front on which the buttlù to the south of Lublin is now pro- coeding, says a Petrograd telegram, is practically identical with that from which the Austrian invasion was driven back at the commencement of the war. It begins at Josifow, on the Vistula, 35 miles due south from the fortress of Ivangorod, passes six miles north of Krasnik, bonds south- ward along the valley of the Bug to the Headquarters on the Zolota lipa, or the Golden Lima Tres River. Sixteen miles of this front, between Josefow, and Urzendova constitute an admirable Russian defensive posi tion in broken, wooded, mountainous country. The Russians now have the advantage of the railways, and are fighting with their backs to tho -Ivangorod-Brestilitovsk fortified line, while their adversaries are in a rail- wayless country. Their rear is now a roadless desert. The immediate object of the invaders was to seize the Cholm-Lublin-Ivangorod Railway. It was the Centre outmarching the. Wing in anxiety to reach the railways that formed a deep salient which was badly mauled by the Russian counterattacks,
