ON THE EASTERN FRONT.

THE FALL OF BRESTLITOYSK.

LONDON, Aug. 971 The Germans, says an Amsterdam telegram, adwis that the Russian retreated from Brestlitorsk in good order. The Russian rearguard made a bold defence though badly outnumbered.

There have been great scenes of joy in Berlin. The President announced the success in the Reichstag and was greeted with storms of applause from all sides.

A HOLLOW VICTORY.

LONDON, Aug. 27.

Despite German jubilation it appears that the capture of Brestlitovak is merely another hollow victory. The late of the fortress was preatically sealed when the Russians failed to hold the line Bobr-Nuroff-Bug against the vast namerical and material superiority of the enemy. The Russians had time to remere all guns and munitions, and therefore it is probable that the Germans found only an empty shell. The Russians are preparing farther positions further to the rear, but oven there will be evacuated, if necessary, to prevent the Germans from delivering the smashing blow which they have been vainly atriving to deliver for months past at the cost of an enormous waste of men and materials.

ORDERLY RUSSIAN RETREIT.

11

LONDON, August 97. To-night's Berlin communique, says a telegram from Amsterdam, indicates! fresh activity on the part of General von Hindenburg in the Baltic proriaces" south-ward of Mitau, and says that the Russians have evacuated Olita. The total absence, however, of any claim to booty either here or at Brestlitovsk shows bow orderly and well-executed is the Russian retreat.

RUSSIANS INFLICT HEAVY LOSSES..

LONDON, Aug. 28

An official Fetrograd communique reports stubborn fighting in Courland. The Russians are preasing the Germans to the north of the Dvinsk Poseureo Railway. There is no change at Vilna.
