The Days
War NeuUs

Reports from Russian sources
during the last two days OF an
imposing victory In the war with
Austria and Germany are at vari-
ance with an official statement
today from Berlin. While the
German military authorities
stated previously that the ad-
vance toward Warsaw had been
checked by the arrival Of Russian
reinforcements, there was no in
dication IN today's statement that
any decisive results had been at
tanned by either of the opposing
forces.
Military activity in the west is
centered in the line from the Bel
gian town OF Ypres across the bor-
der to LaBassee in France. This
latest phase of the war is believed
to mark another German effort to
push forward to the English
channel, and II is said that the
battle is blazing forth with all the
fury and desperation OF the for
mer German attacks. The Ger
mans have brought up reinforce
ments and new heavy guns, and IL
is expected in London that the
next few days will be marked by
some of the most deadly encoun-
ters of the war.
Definite news as to the out
come of the crucial struggle In
the east still is lacking. Private
dispatches from Petrograd state
that the Russians have made an
important forward movement on
the Czentochowa Cracow line,
which roughly parallels the bor-
der of Silesia and extends from
Poland to Austrian territory near
the fortress of Cracow.
The latest official statement
from Petrograd says that the Rus
slams are still on the offensive on
the main battle-ground between
the Vistula and Warta rivers, and
that heavy losses have been in
flicted on the retreating enemy.
Austria and Germany, however
state that the battle still is In
progress and that issue had not
been decided.
