DESPERATE ENCOUNTERS, ON" THE
BASTERN FRONT.
À coasmunique amatos that de desperate fighting during September has peculiarly demonstrated the unempled courage and devotion to duty of the Burians who have performed deeds bordering on the extremes of human capaci ty. The most notable of the Ranian successes recently include the capture of the village Siesaitsi on the Lower Bakhod zivor.“
The desperation of the fighting is imaginable when ever the baming Louses were disputed to the last man. When the end came, there were only two Austrian survitors who were captured.
The Russians suppressed an Austrian battalion on the Chare river, bay cuted the majority and took 366 prisoners and compelled the reminder of the 'flate to recross the river..
* A fierce batila is proceeding on the Galician frontier. The Austriana, inforced, compelled the Russians to evacuate the town of Novo Oleksinetz on the Styr but the Russians returned, electively using the fibyoset and drove out the Austrians taking over a thousand prisoners besides killing a greit many.” Thê Austriana are now reattacking the town.
