northern France, official reports from
the eastern theatre of the war Indicate
that the fighting at various points, par

ported very large. The Russians again
have occupied Czernowitza and the

The Russians appear to have accom-
plished the difficult feat of throwing an
army through the Carpathians south
west of Lemberg. Fighting in these
mountains has been most ferociOus,
being carried on under extraordinary
difficulties increased by sereve cold,
the bitter winds and snowstorms Re-
ports received here say that the Rus
slams have won important successes
over the Austrians during uninterrupt-

success as the Russians are reported to
have attained 1t is declared Austria
is not in position to defend Galicia, the
army which crossed the mountains
having found a restricted population

the recapture of the village of Ghelu-

shires was fraught with mometous
consequences to the allies.
OF the Indian troops Field Marshal
French says at this point:
"Since their arrival in this country
and their occupation of the line allotted
to them l have been much impressed
by the initiative and resource displayed
by the Indian troops. Some of the ruses
they have employed to deceive the
enemy have been attended with the best
results and have doubtless kept the
superior forces in front of them at
bay"
General French goes on to say that
the whole line continued to be heavily
pressed.
Three Bavarian and one German
corps, In addition to other troops, he
says, were directed against this north
