and some machine guns
which fell into the hands of the Germans. Other German detachments
successfully repeated their attacks on the east bank of the Stokhod
River.

German aeroplanes bombarded Lutsk and the railway station at Kivertsk,
northeast of Lutsk.

To the north of the Sarny-Kovel railway the Russians gained a footing
in their opponents' positions on the west bank of the Stokhod. A
surprise attack, made by strong German forces late in the evening,
drove them back again to the opposite bank.

In the region of the lower Lipa, German guns opened a violent fire
against the Russian trenches and inflicted heavy losses.

The town of Polonetchki, northeast of Baranovitchy, was attacked by
German aeroplanes, which threw many bombs and caused considerable
damage.

West of the Strypa the Austro-German forces launched a series of
furious counterattacks, as a result of which the Russians claimed to
have captured over 3,000 prisoners.

West and northwest of Buczacz the Russians made two attacks on a broad

On July 14, 1916, the Germans under cover of a violent fire,
approached the barbed-wire entanglements of the Russians on the
grounds in the region of the River Servitch, a tributary of the
Niemen. They were repulsed by Russian artillery fire.

The same day the Germans opened a violent artillery fire against
Russian lines eastward of Gorodichtche (Baranovitchy sector), after
they assumed the offensive in the region of the village of Skrobowa,

continuation of the bombardment, the Germans took the offensive in

repulsed by Russian fire.

After having taken breath the Germans made a fresh attack in the
region of the same village, but the Russian troops repulsed the
Germans with machine-gun and rifle fire. The Russians then made a
counterattack which resulted in the capture of more ground.

Repeated German attempts to advance toward the sector southwest of the
village of Skrobowa were also repulsed by Russian fire.

On the front of the Russian position southeast of Riga the Germans
took the offensive against the Russian sectors near Frantz, northeast
