GERMANS ON RUSSIAN SOIL

REPULSED WITH ENORMOUS LOSSES

HEAVY FIGHTING BY RUSSIAN ' REAR-GUARD NARROW ESCAPE OF THE GOEBEN ATTACKED BY RUSSIAN SUBMARINE TURKS ABANDON EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN ' MR: ASfiUITH CALLS ON THE ■ - . NATION ■

The war news to-day is if anything scantier than yesterday. The reports from the Eastern theatre show that the Russian rearguard positions'covering the retirement from the Dniester were heavily attacked by reinforced bodies of the enemy, -who was repulsed with enormous losses. The enemy on another front is definitely on Russian soil, in the Lublin region. The rearrangement of the Russian forces, we are told, has now been completed, and, it is silted, any further advance by the enemy will be strongly resisted. A comparative calm prevails on the Western front, while the news from the Austro-Italian front tells nothing of the major operations, save of a reverse to the Austrians in the Carnia region. The Montenegrins are reported to have invaded Bosnia-, and they have also occupied Scutari. 'There is a report from the Dardanelles—emanating from' Constantinople—that the i Goeben has narrowly escaped destruction by a Russian submarine in the Bosphorus. The Turks are said to have withdrawn the remnants of their armies in the Egyptian campaign to their purpose having been "brilliantly achieved!" Mr.. Asquith, the British Prime Minister, has delivered a powerful appeal to the nation in an eloquent attho Guildhall.
