ON ZLOTA LIPA RIVER
Following is the Austrian official war statement given out from Vienna on July 6:
In Eastern Galicia the Teutonic allied troops under General von Linsingen, after two weeks of successful battles, have reached the Zlota Lipa River, the western bank of which has been cleared of the enemy. In the sectors of Kamionka Strumilowa and Krasno battles against the Russian rearguards are continuing.
Near Krylow (on the Bug River), in Southern Russian Poland, near the Galician border, the enemy has evacuated the western bank of the Bug and burned the village of Krylow.
Fighting is proceeding on both banks of the Upper Wieprz.
The Teutonic allied troops drove the enemy from positions north of the small River Por and advanced to Faras and Plonka.
The western army, commanded by Archduke Joseph Ferdinand, after several days' battle, broke through the Russian front on both sides of Krasnik and drove the Russians back with heavy losses in a northerly direction. We captured twenty-nine officers and 8,000 men and took six caissons and six machine guns.
West of the Vistula River the situation is unchanged.
The Petrograd correspondent of The London Times telegraphed on July 6:
No apprehension is entertained as to the fate of Warsaw, for the city bids fair to be protected. Even if the Germans should reach Ivangorod, this would not necessarily involve the surrender of Warsaw.
