Summary
 OF THE w ar News


 Russia's forces. it is reported unofficially today, have at last reached Cracow,- the Austrian fortress in Northwestern Ga11cia near the boundaries of Russia and Germany. An Italian cores pondent at the front stated that Cracow was now being lombard , ed by Russian siege guns and that one of the suburbs is in flames. The capture of this fortress has been one of the main objectives of Russia's campaign against Austria, on the theory that it's fall, together with that of Prze- mys1 now under siege, would mean Russian ascendency in that part of Austria which lies to the north of the Carpathian noun tains.
 Opinions differ sharply as to the intentions Of Germany con corning operations in the west. It is reported that Germany is about to. embark on a new offensive movement; that the allies are about to assume the offensive; that the German line has been weakened perceptibly; and that a new Ger man army is being rushed into Flanders. In view of these con flicting statements it is inpossiL b1e to discern the probabilities of the near future. Fighting at present apparently is confined to operations in the Argonne.
 Russia's campaign against Fur key likewise has reached a per iod of inactivity. The latest re- port from the Russian army of the Caucasus is to the effect that no movements of importance are under way.
