RUSSIANS HALT TEUTON DRIVE

Berlin Admits Retreat in North—Fogs Hamper French on the Western Zone. London, June 11. —Reports from Berlin and Petrograd Indicate that the hard pressed Russians have at last administered a serious check to the German arms in the Baltic provinces and are for the most part holding their own against the Teuton advance upon Lemberg and in Bukowina. The German official statement admits that the Teutons have been forced to withdraw in Courland and Kovno to the Beisagola-Zoginie line, while General von Linsingen has been checked to the south and southeast of Lemberg. At the same time Berlin claims slight gains and repulses of the French in the western theater.
