RUSSIANS RESUME
THEIR OFFENSIVE
Sharp Increase in Activity
in the Carpathians Is In
dicated - Some Success
Has Been Gained by the
Allies in Attempt to Force
Dardanelles

Military operations of critical impor-
tance are now underway simultaneous
" in three distinct fields of action. In
Flanders the Germans once more are
engaged with the British, Belgians and
French in struggle for the mastery
of the territory near the User canal
where several months ago there occurred
what was perhaps the most terrific strug-
gle OF the war thus far. In the Car
pathians the Russians are again assum-
ing the offensive in another of their re-
peated efforts to push over the mountain
barrier into Hungary. At the Darda
nelles the allies have succeeded in land
ing troops on both sides of the straits,
inaugurating combined land and sea
attempt at the conquest of Constantine
pie.
The situation at the Dardanelles is
still obscure although it is apparent that
the French and British have made head
way Win idHuiiiS oPeidtiohS' ihe ar
is war Office has announced the capture
of Kun Kaleh on the Asiatic side The
Turkish government, although reporting
the repulse OF the landing forces, does
not claim in every instance that the
Turks we're able to drive back the al
lies.
Italy is debating the question wheth
or to intervene in the war. The Italian
ambassador to France, one of those sum-
moned home to consult with the gov
ernment, has had long conference with
the king of Rome.
The Russian and Austrian official
statements indicate that the fighting in
the Carpathians is becoming more in
tense and the activity is extending along
the greater portion of the battle line.
A British correspondent in northern
France telegraphs that the Germans have
been definitely checked, although the bat
tle still continues with violence near
