t other points on the Kovel front engagements likewise took place,
though the violence of the combat had somewhat abated.

West of Kolki, southwest of Sokal, and near Viczny, German forces
conquered Russian positions. West and southwest of Lutsk various local
engagements occurred. Here the Russians on June 30, 1916, lost fifteen
officers, 1,365 men; since June 16th, twenty-six officers, 3,165 men.

The next objective of General Lechitsky's army was Stanislau, about
thirty miles farther northwest than Kolomea, on the Czernovitz-Lemberg
railway. On July 1, 1916, in the region west of Kolomea, the army of
General Lechitsky, after intense fighting, took by storm some strong
Austrian positions and captured some 2,000 men.

Further north, German and Austro-Hungarian troops of General von
Bothmer's army stormed the hill of Vorobijowka, a height southwest of
Tarnopol, which had been occupied by the Russians, and took seven
officers and 891 men. Seven machine guns and two mine throwers were
captured.

On the Volhynia front the German troops continued to deliver desperate
attacks against some sectors between the Styr and Stokhod and south
of the Stokhod.

In the afternoon German artillery produced gusts of fire in the region
of Koptchie, Ghelenovka and Zabary, southwest of Sokal. An energetic
attack then followed, but was repulsed. Southwest of Kiselin Russian
fire stopped an offensive. At the village of Seniawa and in the same
region near the village of Seublino there was a warm engagement. A
series of fresh German attacks southwest of Kiselin-Zubilno-Kochey was
repulsed. The German columns were put to flight with heavy losses. The
fugitives were killed in large numbers, but, reenforced by reserves,
the attacks were promptly renewed, without, however, meeting with much
success.

South of the village of Zaturze, near the village of Koscheff, Russian
forces stopped an Austrian offensive by a counteroffensive. Austrian
attempts to cross the River Shara southwest of Lipsk and south of
Baranovitchy were likewise repulsed.

On July 2, 1916, Russian torpedo boats bombarded the Courland coast
east of Raggazem without result. They were attacked effectively by
German coastal batteries and by aeroplanes.

At many points along the front of Field Marshal von Hindenburg the
Russians increased their fire, and repeatedly undertook advances.
These led to fighting within the German lines near Niki, north of
Smorgon. The Russians were ej
