London. Jan. 1.-The Rome CORE
spondent of "The Daily Mali sends a
telegram received there from Budapest
which saws that the Russians are in
vading Hungary from four points.
Refugees are focking into Buda-
pest" the dispatch adds. There is a
panic throughout Hungary as result
of the rapid retreat of the Austrian
army before this new Russian advance.
AN public meetings have been pro-
hibited in Budapest"
Petrograd, Jan. 1.-The second Ger
man attempt to grasp at Warsaw now
has been definitely repealed. All the
terrific onslaughts of all the armies the
invaders could bring into Central Po-
land 20 burst through the Russian de-
fence have been broken down.
Ii is believed that Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg has recognized that the
task is beyond his strength, for It was
established to-day that the ninth Ger
man army, under General Won Macken-
sen. which for six weeks has been the
heart and nerve Of all the furious fight
ing around LODI and Lowicz and the
swaying lines Of contact where the kus-
SLAMS held and sent them back, now has
moved considerably southwark. TINS
followed the action Of Wednesday
south Of Tomaszow, when the Russian
right wing reached out toward the re-
treating army below the Pilira.
Everything now points TO Won Hin
denburg's transferring his energy TO
supplying fresh strength to this area.
He has even prevailed upon the Aus
trians to make some stand in the Car
pathian passes. The Russian com,
bined armies Of the south are now well
supplied and in victorious spirits Tor
solid advance
Germans Make Partial Efforts.
On the Polish front the Germans,
though checked in their impetuous dash
upon Warsaw, continue here and there
partial efforts to force a wedge through
the Russian lines. Their particular OBJ
jective now is along the Pilica River.
In the fighting around Bolimow, on
the River Rawka, so disastrous 10 the
advantage of the Germans, they took
considerable extent of wooded country
southeast of the town. They attempted
TO creep through the Russian defences,
but were met south of 'cross-country
road between Bolimow and Modnevlce,
village seven miles east of Bolimow.
The Germans attacked both night and
day, but all assaults were beaten off.
A few miles south of these attacks,
according to unofficial dispatches which
supplement the official announcement,
and a little north of Rawa, the German
advance was met by bayonet attack,
and here also the enemy was destroyed.
The third attack was at the village OF
Jesergetz. one mile north Of the
Pilca River and seven miles west Of
Novomj asto. The Russians at this
point allowed the Germans, advancing,
as usual in dense columns, to approach
within 800 PAGES before giving any
signs of life. At that distance they
poured in a sudden hail of rife and
Maxim fire, which speedily dispersed
the German column, with immense
losses. In several places the German
attacks were partly met by hand gren-
AIDES, which were found very success
full.
German Column Defeated.
The fighting at Inowlodz, on the
Pilica River, reported in one Of the
latest bulletins, appears to have ter
minated IN the defeat of the German
columns, for they now have attempted
to find another direction for their at
tacks. The neighborhood of lnowlodz
is almost entirely vast forest, in the
midst of which is Spala, an imperial
hunting palace. Here crowned heads
occasionally and lesser persons rarely
have mad the opportunity of shooting
the last remaining specimens in Europe
OF the gigantic wild cattle-the aurochs
which are strictly preserved on the
estate.
The Germans had no success in the
fighting about lnowlodz, and now at
tempted TO march in a southeasterly
direction, concentrating at Tomaszow
and advancing toward Opoczno. The
Russians met them near the village Of
Kamans, seven miles from OpocZno,
and drove them off.
The Austrians likewise made
couple of attacks, both Of which were
repulsed with loss. The unofficial re-
ports show that they were the troops
who assumed the offensive south of
Malogostcha and at the village of
Zakrzew, a couple Of miles south of
DnicZow.
All these attacks seem TO have been
merely attempts TO discover whether
any points had been left insecure or
