DESCRIBE BATTLE
WITHOUT PRECEDENT.
Austro-Germans Drove the
Russians From Heights in
Region of Kojiouwka,
Only to Be Forced Back
in Bayonet Fight The
Germans Assume Often
siye on Southern Border OF
East Prussia.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Feb. 10.--The Russians and
Austro- German armies are fighting
another series of battles for posses
sion of the snow covered Carpathian
passes to decide whether the Russians
shall begin another invasion of Hun
gary, or evacuate part of Buckowina.
The Russians have issued two off,
cial reports OF their operations, claim
ing the better of the fighting. Their
right wing has crossed the mountains
and been in battle near Bartfeld and
Svidik, on the Hungarian side of the
Carpathians and at the edge of the
plains which sweep down to Budapest.
This army also threatens the rear
OF the Austro-Germans The latter
already has suffered severe losses in
battle with another Russian force in
the region OF Lupkow pass.
The hardest fighting has occurred
on the Gaiician side OF the Tukholka
pass. The Austro- Germans Sunday
captured the heights in the region Of
Kozlouwla, only to be driven back In
q bayonet fight. which the Russian re-
port describes as being without a
precedent in history
Correspondents say this battle was
y
terrific. The Germans brought up the
best of their achievements to aid tho
Austrians and themselves led the at
tack. Backed by heavy artillery they
assaulted the Russian positions on
Koziouwka heights, but found them
selves under an enfilading fire from
the Russians on the parallel hills and
were cut off from the main German
column. The Russian infantry then
attacked, driving them back at the
point of the bayonet.
The attack was followed by coun-
ter attack until the Russians had re-
gained their old positions, leaving the
slopes, according to their report, cit
tered with bodies of dead Germans"
The fighting here seems to have
been as desperate and sanguinary as
that before the Warsaw lines during
the last week; and so far as can be
judged by Official and unofficial re-
ports has been just as unsuccessful
for the Germans.
The Germans now have assumed the
offensive on the southern border OF
East Prussia. Another important bat
tie is developing in that region.
There has been little or no fightine
in Flanders, France or Alsace. al
though the artillery and airnen con-
tinue active.

Washington, Feb. 0.--Repubiicans
and Democratic insurgents, opposing
the government ship purchase bill
with the aid OF Senators Norris and
Kenyon, Progressive Republicans, whn
have supported the measure, forced
the senate to adjourn early tonight,
after the longest continuous session IN
its history. Debate had lasted fifty
four hours and eleven minutes.
Senator O'Gorman moved adjourn
ment after Norris, deploring the fill
buster said he believed the opponents
OF the measure could filibuster it to
death. Q,Gorman's motion was carried,
forty-eight to forty-six- This made
more uncertain than ever the fate of
the bill. Many members of both
houses OF congress conceded tonight
that an extra session seemed inevi-
table. There were some, however, who
still hoped there might be time to dis
pose OF the appropriation bills and the
ship measure in some form before
March fourth.
Though disappointed over the loss of
support from the Progressive Repub-
leans the administration leaders IN
the senate would not admit tonight
that the cause was lost Anticipating
a break In the senate. President Will
son conferred throughout the day
with the house leaders on plans to
get the bill before the house. Such a.
course may be taken, although the
senate Renubiican leaders insist then
tight will continue until the end OF
the session regardless OF what the adj
ministration forces may accomplish
IN the house.
The Democratic leaders plan to press
Senator Fletcher.s motion to recon-
init the bin tomorrow with instruc-
tions for its amendment to satisfy the
Republican progressives. 1t Is consid-
cred probable. however, that the mo-
tion will be defeated, and that Senator
Clarke's motion TO recommit the bill
to the commerce committee without
instructions will prevail.
The Insurgent Democrats led by
Senator Hardwick. sought a compro-
mise with their colleagues today
whereby the party would be united
in renewed effort to pass the BILL
The plan suggested was that the DEM
ocrats hold conference after the re-
commitment Of the bill. Some Of the
Insurgent Democrats then propose that
the bill be amended to provide that
the government ship enterprise should
terminate at a stated period after the
close of the European war and that
the purchase of interned ships of bel
ligerents bee prohibited.
II the Democrats united on such a
proposal H. would ALLEVIATE from the
bin the Progressive Republicans. who
favor government ownership, but 1t is
hoped might stop the filibuster.
