BIG ARMIES CLASH
BEFORE CRACOW
Decisive Battle is Now Being
Fought in Austria.
INVADERS SLOWED DOWa
Germans Are Contesting Every lnch
of Ground With Invaders In Eas.

Germans Are contesting Every Inch
of Ground With Invaders In Eas.
Prussia.
The Russian advance into German
territory is not going ahead with the
same dash and speed that marked tie
earlier days OF tie invasion.
The Germans have at last reached
territory with which they are famll'
lar and are turning, giving battle
fiercely and contesting every inch oil
ground.
Great earthworks have been thrown
up by the kaiser's troops in Prussia
and along the Thorn-Cracow line,
and they are preparing to offer STUB
born resistance to further encroacA-
ments by the cars forces.
1t is certain, however, that the most
decisive battle of the eastern cam
paign has begun near Cracow, the
gateway to Silesia." At this point the
Austro-Germans have concentrated a.
powerful army, which has to its ad-
vantage the Notifications of CracoW.
These Notifications have been greatly
strengthened since the invasion OIL
Poland began and now are among the
most formidable in the world. The
cars army, which seeks an entrance
into Silesia, must first pass CracoW,
and it is probable that this objective
can be attained only by great sacrf
fees.
The Army Messenger, the official
government publication, announces
that the Germans met severe re-
veres in hard fighting near Ka!iscz,
a Russian town a few miles from the
border of Posen province. 1t says taat
the Germans were forced to retreat,
leaving thousands of men on the
field and abandoning twelve hoWlt'
zers, believed to DC these intended TO-
use before Warsaw.
The Russian general staff issued an
announcement telling of new con-
conquests in East Prussia, but, con-
trary to previous announcements,
this one admits that the Russian al
vance guard has penetrated to points
only fifteen miles within the Prussian
border.
The Russian armies opposing the
combined Austre- German forces are
now On the offensive at five different
points, extending from the Baltic to
southern Galicia.
The attention of the military critics
was concentrated on the Lyck-Soldau
front. The capture of johannesburg,
south of Lake Spirding, indicates that
the invasion of East Prussia in this
division has developed from Coz
sack raid into a big campaign that has
for its aim the surrounding Of the en-
tire German left wing, which suffered
severely in it's invasion of the gov
eminent of Suwalki.

his readiness to resign as soon as the

ional president free from the ln1u'

as a slap at the convention for elect

The first big battle is expected to
take place at Quertaro, where General
Pablo Gonzales is said to have 10000
Carranza troops and many guns.
Twenty thousand revolutionary troops
are south and east of Aguas Calien'
tes, while $4,000 more have been
gathered in Aguas Calientes for the
march on Mexico City, which has been
expected since General Carranza re-
fused TO accept the first mandates OF
