Eastern Battle Line Long.
The big battle line between the com
bined Austro-German armies and the
legions of Russia extends from the
Galician frontier, near Tarnow, north
to the East Prussian border Another
Russian force is besieging Przemysl,
in Galicia, and stillanother is invad-
ing Hungary. On the East Prussian
frontier the fighting appears to have
come to standstill for the present.
The Russians have driven the Ger
mans back, after their advance to the
Niemen river, found, on getting to the
German border, that re-enforcements
had been brought from Koenigsberg
and their further progress was arrest
ed. The Germans, in fact, claim to
have defeated the Russians near Su-
walki, and to have taken 200 prison
ers and nine machine guns.
Fighting on a larger scale soon will
be resumed. and it will then be de-
cided whether the Germans are to In
wade Russia in this region or the Rus
SLAMS are to overrun Prussia.
Austrians Advancing.
In Southwestern Poland the Austro-
German armies have advanced along
both banks Of the Vistula river, with
the object of compelling the Russians
to evacuate part Of Gaiicia, and, ac-
cording to their reports, have defeat
ed them, capturing 4,S00 prisoners.
The Russians reply that they al
lowed the enemy to advance as far as
the Opatow-Sandomir front in order to
force them to abandon their strongly
intrenched position near Kielce and
accept battle in the open country.
Since this battle nothing has come
through concerning the movements of
the two armies.
The advance OF the Russians into
Hungary has aroused intense feeling
in Rumania, with respect to Transyl-
yania, and a section Of that country
is advocating that Rumania join the
Allies, SO that with the end of the war,
should victory rest with the Allies,
Rumania may fall heir to that part
of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
