aggerated reports Of Russian sue.
cesses In the battle In northern Poland.
where the German Emperor has
Joined Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
to offer his advice and encourage his
troops, the latest available official re-
ports from Russian headquarters state
that the advantage in the fighting still
lies with the Russian arm.
It Ia also officially said that enor-
nous losses have been inflicted on the
Germans, but no mention is made Of
the capture of German divisions,
which has been so freely claimed by
the Petrograd correspondents Of Lon
don and Paris papers.
Opposed to this is the German Off
ciai report which says that the Rus
sian attacks have been repulsed and
that the German counter attacks have
been successful.
A Rotterdam correspondent reports
that the allies are taking the offensive

the German line is weakening.

success on the Austrian side of the
Carpathians and against the Turks in
the Caucasus, although in both re-

vailed.
In the battle before Cracow, the
Russians claim success. During the
last week they took 10000 Austrian
and German prisoners In this region.
This victory is taken in Petrograd to
mean that Cracow will not bar the
Russian advance in Silesia from the
south, but that, with the Austrian
army beaten, it will be necessary only
to mask the fortress. "a
In the western arena, the Germans,
although making an occasional infan-
try attack. seem at present content to
bombsrd the allied positions, but with
somewhat lighter guns than they have
been using.
This may mean either that they are
sending troops and artillery to the
east to use against the Russians, or
that they are preparing new attack
against the allies,
There has been minor attack near
Arras. but not in strong enough force
to suggest that the Germans have de-
cided to try to get to the coast by d.
rect route from the east.
It was announced by the official
press bureau in Berlin that word has
been received from Sofia, Bulgaria,
that the Servian cabinet of Premier
NJ p Pachitch has been overthrown.
Referring to the situation in the
east. the press bureau says: ~ &
