BRODY, U.S.A. NOTION
WON BY CZAR'S FORCES
LONDON, July 28. — Brody, a great railroad junction in Galicia, fifty-eight miles northeast of Lemherg, which it was expected the Austrian troops would retain at all costs, has been captured by the czar's forces in a new and unexpected stroke administered by the Russians. The taking of this important town, it is believed, may lead to the capture of Lemherg itself. News of the fall of Brody is coincident with reports that the Somme battle is continuing successfully for British forces under Sir Douglas Haig.

The Russians, according to a report from Petrograd, also have broken the whole Austro-German front west of Lutsk. In this success they are reported to have captured two generals, prisoners and forty-six guns.

The fall of Brody is a serious threat to Lemherg, and the rapid and successful advance of General Sakharoff's forces menace the whole Austro-German line of communication from the north to the south.
