BERLIN, Via The Hague and Lon
don, Oct. 17.-Preparations are un-
der way for a gigantic battle in tho
eastern arena OF the war, where
Austrian and German armies have
taken positions along the river Wis
tula and the river San and are ready
for oyentualities. The retaking OF
Prsemysl, as announced from Aus
trian sources, has permitted enforld-
ing Of the power of the Austrians
from the direction OF Lembcrg and
their advance in the southern Car
rathian mountains is menacing the
extreme left wing of the Prusstans.
Desperate fighting is going ON along
the center of the two armies on the
banks of the Vistula.
This action had been in a measure
delayed owing TO the bad conditions
OF the road in Southern Poland and
the presence of sections of swampy
land. Tho Russian army is east OF
the Vistula. This facti S regarded
in Berlin as making its advance
and the general management of the
compaign a difficult matter and at
the same time unfavorable. The
Russian attacks on Austrian ana
German, unless they succeed in cross
ing the Vistula, which would be a
difficult undertaking at tho present
time will not be an easy matter.
