PETROGRAD, Dec. 2S.-News of
another crushing defeat administered
to the Austrians is now daily ex-

and unofficial reports indicating that
the Russians have taken upwards of
10000 prisoners during recent fight
ing indications today are that the
Austrians are on the verge Of COM
plete defeat at every point.
Decided advantages nave been
gained by the Russians in the Nida
and Donajec valleys. It is believed
here that in the Carpathians. the
Austrians have again been driven
back into the passes and that another
Russian invasion of Hungary may
soon be expected. The Austrians are
declared to have been driven from
Jaslo, fifty miles west of the besieged
fortress of Przemysl, and are report

Car Nicholas is now at the front
at the headquarters of Grand Duke
Nicholas. Heavy fighting is still in
progress along the Pilica river, south
west of Warsaw, but the Russian
line is declared TO be holding there
against violent assaults of the Ger
mans After suffering tremendous
losses in assaults along the Bzura
and Rawko rivers, the Germans con-
tinued today to confine their activ-
ity largely to a bombardment of the
Russian positions. The main attack
upon Warsaw from the west has been
completely checked, it is claimed
here.
It is admitted that the situation in
Northern Poland is again becoming
threatening. The army of General
Francois is believed TO have been
heavily reinforced by troops drawn
from the west and it is officially ad-
mitted that Mlawa has again been oc-
cupied by the Germans. This ad-
vance Of the enemy from the south
ern portion of the East Prussian
frontier is being pressed with ex-
IRENE vigor.
Both armies have now turned
largely to sledges for transportation
work. The Germans are bringing up
heavy guns along the Bzura front on
motor sledges.
