RUSSIA'S LATEST GREAT SUCCESS

LONDON, Nov. 10. Details published in Petrograd of General Ivanoff's latest success on the river Strypa, when the Russians took 8,500 prisoners, as recorded in a communique dated November 7th, show that the Russian advance began on October 30 by bridging the Stryps and Lake Ischkuve, which was carried out during two nights in the face of heavy gunfire. The Russians as they crossed, arranged elaborate telephonic communication with their rear, laying cables by pontoons beneath the waters of the lake. then they guiped a footing on the right bank and built bridgeheads as preparation against eventual withdrawal. Fighting of maximum inten- sity lasted six days, especially in the village of Semikovize, where the enemy artillery fire was most furious. When the Russians begun to retreat many of their numerous prisoners desperately attempted to seize their rifles and produce a panic amongst the Russians, but the prompt application of machine-guna frustrated their coup.
