The Germans in eastern Prussia

successes the Germans have hereto

be stopped at any cost, even if it re-
suits in the loss of all the advantage

Russian military authorities here
point out that Austria has already
been so severely hit by recent vic
tories by the Cars legions that in
ternal troubles have become a most
serious problem and may soon force
the dual monarchy to sue for peace
to save itself from complete dismem-
berment. Russian forces have reached
the important strategic city of
Cracow and it's fall is imminent, if
it has not already occurred. This
would remove the last formidable
barrier to a successful march upon
Vienna.
