ADVANCE ON THE UPPER SERETH CONTINUES SUCCESSFUL LOCAL ACTIONS FOUGHT IN THE CARPATHIANS (By Telegraph—Press Aion--Copyright), Australian-New Zealand Cable Association. London, August 14. A llussian communique states: "We drove back an attack by the enemy oh the west bank of tlio Stochod. Our advanco on the Upper Sereth continues. The enemy lias retired westward. Fierce'.artillery fire from behind fortified positions is checking our advanco. "Wo arrived before the Zlota Lipa, and continued the pursuit, reaching tho north bank of tho Dniester before Mariampol. We repelled local attacks everywhere in. the Carpathians." . I (Rcc. August Id, 5.55 p.m.) \ Petrograd, August ]4. Official—The Russians liavo forded tho.. Lukh tributary, on the Sereth, and expelled the enemy from a series of trenches. Wo have .crossed the Zlota Lipa. at several points. Our offensive north-west of the Dniester continues. We captured the village (f Tustobaby in the face of a terrific fire from wellprepared trenches. , , ......

THE PLIGHT OF BOTHMER'S ARMY WILL IT BE ANOTHER SEDAN? ' (Eeutcr's Telegram.) (Rec. August 15, 7 p.m.) Petrograd, August 15. Now that General Bothmer, after stubbornly holding his winter lines for J ten weeks, has been compelled to fall back under the menace to his flanks, interest centres in his chances of avoiding disaster. In some .quarters it is considered that another Sedan is possible, but there is no sign of that. Hie retreat has been delayed, but lias been apparently orderly so far. Bothmer is a clever general, and is not likely to hold on over-long in view of the steady progress of tho Russians on his wings. One'of General Pflanzer's farces is retiring north-west from Stanislau, in an endeavour to cover Bothmer, who lias the Tarnopol-Lemberg railway behind him, ; and also good roads. .Moreover, threo parallel rivers protect his southern flank. Mucli will depend on the enomy's ability to hold Halicz, and so euable Bothmer's centre to make good its retreat. The Russians are converging on Halicz from three directions. It now appears that tho allusion in tlie German communique of August 11, as to tlie TCgrouping of the troops in order to meet tbe Russians' altered dispositions, was a method of preparing Germany for the news of Bothmer's retreat, but the German communiques havo not yet mentioned that the retreat has been in full swing for a couplo of days.
