THE RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN

RUSSIAN REPORT. LONDON, March 28. Russian official.—On the Western front German attacks past Illux, north west of Postavy, were repulsed. A night attack on Boguchi, northwest of Krevo, occupied part of our trenches, but an immediate counterattack restored the situation. We attacked with gas on the Stokhod river in the region of Boarovnoriopian. On the front south of the river Tchabariocha, we are fighting for the positions lost on March 23. Enemy attacks south of the river Ussa, south-west of Moinesti, occupied part of our positions after a desperate fight. Russian seaplane squadrons raided Verkos, 25 miles north-west of Constantinople, and dropped fifty bombs on the aqueduct which supplies Constantinople with water. Another squadron bombed Tultcha.
