The Russian advance guards are now
within 100 miles of Budapest, with an un-
fortified country before them, through
three pathways In the Carpathians, at
Dukla Pass. sanok Pass and Uzsok Pass,
the columns detached to advance into
Hungary are pouring out on the plains.
Through two OF the passes are railroads,
which the Russians now control to points
in the foothills on the Hungarian side
of the Southern Galician border.
The force which advanced to Sanok
Tass was opposed by German artillery
sent to cut off it's movement. The Ger
mans were defeated in engagements
south OF the city of Sanok and retreated
to the northwest, abandoning their guns.
The Russian force moved on through
the defle.
In the Uzsok Pass the Russians dis
lodged the Hunveds from three positions
and gained the further side. where they
are now descending to the Hungarian

In Galicia the campaign is quiet. The

the Jasielka River.
Unofficial advlces state that part of
General Ruzsky's forces has already

been in progress there for "a hours. The
