In the earlier stages of the war had
nearly caused a separatist uprising
among the Czcchs and Bohemians who
have borne the brunt of the defensive
operations on Hungarian soil for the
last two months while the Austrian
regulars have been engaged first In
Servia and then in southern Poland.
No more impcr tant news Of the opera
lions against the Austro-German forces
than this could he conceived. The success
Of the Russian offensive In Poland and "a
consequent pressure against CraCOw and
tho East prussian fortresses has de-
pended all along upon maintenance or
the Russian superiority over the AUS
trians. Ofilclal circles here and in Petro-
grad have all along declared that the
Russians q uld not achieve their pur-
pose by overcoming the Germans alone
but they must push the Austru-liun-
garans 80 hard that informal dissension
In the dual monarchy would inevitably
result with nm echo I'm Berlin that would
cause the greatest worrimcnt among the
Eaiser's leaders.
As long as the Austriaus were able TO
held their own or to assume the offensive
against the Russiars tho conclusion has
been that the Cars trU. ps were failing
In their purposes. Now with second
invasion e Hungary under way aud with
the Servians pressing hard against the
right Hank Of the main Austrian armies
the situation OF the Austrian armies sent
tn aid the Germans along the Pilitzn and
to relieve przemsyl and Cracow becomes
most hazardous.
II is regarded a. automatic here that
the Austrians to preserve any semh1nce
Of internal amity must draw back all
their forces To- defend their own territory.
