Amid the active
Austrian Front,
One Danish
Correspondent
Reported to Belingske Tidende;
The Daily news of
Copenhagen.
In early
September Grodno fell,
In the East of
the Galicia line -
To where Russians
retreated,
Altering the
Russian positions.
Regrouping and
reaffirming
Their strongpoints',
Russian
Forces situated
their stand,
To east bank of
River Sereth.
Maybe for such an
eventuality,
Preparations had
already
Been readied at
fortifications -
Reinforced at
certain cities.
Close to
Trembovia, a high
Mountainous
presence,
Saw Russian
positions dug
Deep - believed
hard to take.
While near
Tarnapol - a city
Of 35,000 - a
line of Russian
Entrenchments, curved
about
A lake, with
shellproof forts.
