Stone laid great stress on the hard

counter and the weight Of response

tie and the firemen at stoke hole.
He said there was no attempt on the

London Nov. 30-Russia's forces, it is reported,
unocally have at least reached Cracow, the Austri
fortress in northwestern Galicia, the boun-
daries of Russia and Germany. The Italian CORE
spondent at the front says Cracow is being lombard
ed by heavy Russian guns, and that of the su-
burbs are in flames
objectives of Russias campaign against Austria,
the theory that its fall together with that of Przeys
now under sege, would mean Russian ascendancy in
that part of Austria which lies the north of the Car
pathian mountains.
Other than this report there is little information
concerning the situation in the east
The main question, in the opinion of London is
whether the German army which struck at the Rus
sian CENTER will be able extrcate itself and fall back
to the border without disaster
The Russian army, operating from Lodz, is strik-
ing heavy blow at the forces, but It is
probable that time must elapse before this phase
OF the campaign in the east be brought to close.
Opinions differ sharply to the intentions of
Germany concerning operations in the west 1t is
ported that Germany will embark on new offensive
movement and that the allies about assume the
offensive, that the German lines have weakened per
ceptibly and that new German army is being rushed
into Flanders
In view of these conflicting statements it is i'm
possible to discern the probabilities of the future
Fighting at present is apparently confined OF Ar
gonne. Russa's campaign against Turkey has like
wise reached period of inactivity.
The latest report from the Russian army of Cau-
cassus is to the effect that movements of import
ance are under way.
