 From Russian sources it is reported that the invasion on Hungary has been begun A despatch from Lem berg, Galicia says that the Russians are advancing successfully along wide front between Bartfeld and a Uzsok, descending the southern slope a of the Carpathians and pressing back ' the Austrians. In the Dul1la region also the Russians are said to have routed the Austrians, forcing them to abandon stores and transports in their retreat. / @ --.. The Meuse- Moselle region is still the scene of the principal contest in the west. Although the French attacks have been made with increasing vigor, Berlin reports that virtually nothing has been accomplished by these tac- !, tics. An official review of these oper ations contains the statement that the Germans have regained all the posi- tions lost earlier in the fighting, with few unimportant exceptions and that the French have sustained ex- tremely heavy losses.
 Naval Engagement Reported.
 London heard rumors today of an- other naval engagements off the Eng fish coast. 1t is said heavy firing was under way off Scarborough, one of the coast towns attacked by the Ger mans squadron in it's raid several months ago. a

April H., < via Petrograd April 12 noop, and Lon don, 1920 D. m.-The Russian armies, according to dependable information reaching Lemberg, have made success full advances along the entire front from Bartfeld to Uzsok, the greatest gain being in the direction of Gum memo.
 At this point the Russians descend ed the southern slope of the Carpath- ians, forcing the Austrians back with heavy losses to the line between Mezolaborcz and Smoinil1. At the same time the Russians advanced along the line between Dukla and Svednik, where the Austrians, unable 10 make serious defense, abandoned their stores and transport in their re- treat
 The most determined opposition on this whole line of battle was on the part of the Hungarians, whose fight ing qualities are being highly com plimented by Russian officers.
 No Further disbursements.
 Petrograd. April 12, 12:30 D. m., via London, 1:45 D. m.-There are still no indications that the Germans have sent further endorsements to the Austrians in the Carpathians, not withstanding the fact that the Ger man forces along the Niemen river, in the north near the East Prussian frontier appear to be weakening For 3 this reason, Russian staff officers be- lieve that German troops from the north are being removed to some other part of the front.
 No signs are evident of renewed &C., tivity on either side of the Vistula. The conclusion, accordingly, is drawn that the German troops will begin I flew offensive movement from some ether quarter. This attack is ex- pected by the Russian staff from the direction of Cracow.
