LONDON. April lO.-There has been considerable extension of the battle fields both in the Carpathians and in the Woevre district in France, where fighting of extreme violence contin- ues day and night, without. however, ny definite decision being reached. The Russians have made themselves masters of the principal chain of mountains from the Dukla to Uzsok Pass and have begun an attack on the German forces which hold the hills from the latter pass eastward to Beskid Pass. The French army in Woeyre Is hammeriug at two sides Of the German wedge driven into the French lines as far as St Mihiel early in the war. which thus far have re- mained firm and simultaneously has attacked the German front. which passes close to the Lorraine border be- tween Nancy and Chateau Salines.

Now this German army has been given another task that of try ing to prevent the Russians from straightenins out their line which is necessary before the invasion of Hun. gary can be undertaken.
 It is apparent that the army sue, ceeded in at least checking the Rus sian advance as the Austrian official reports claim a victory for the Ger mans in this section, while the Rus sians admit they have been unable tC capture hill Ma 992, which lies about midway between Uzsok and BesAc Passes.

Carpathians battles, as the Russianl still have serious obstacles to over come. as the further they advance through the mountains, the more dii ucult will be the task of keeping thei army supplied.
