PETROGRAD, Feb. 25.-The first
great battle since the Austrians be-
qan their northward drive to recap
ture Lemberg, is being waged east
and south Of Stanislau along the east
ern carpathians, according to ad-
vices received here today.
Only meagre dispatches have ar
rived from the new Galician battle
ground. These say that for the pres
ent, the conflict around S.tanislau ov-
ershadows the Developments in Po-
land where the Russians are driving
exhausted Germans upon their own
frontier.
Franz Joseph has massed great
army within the angle formed by the
two railroads Of southeast SanisIau.
This Austrian force Is attempting to
press north to the Dniester and force
a crossing at Haiitz, less than seven
ty miles from Lembers itself. Over
a five 21iie battle front extending
from stanislau east to Tysnienica,
several Russian regiments are stub
bornly resisting advance Of the Aus
trians. The enemy is using the Ger
man frontal attack and has suffered
heavy losses.
Dispatches today Indicated the Rus
slams are slowly retiring before su-
perior forces, retreating for strategic
reasons upon the city Of Halitz on
the south bank Of the Dniester. Here
the cars troops have fortified the
ruins of great castle commanding
all approaches to the town, as a sec
ondary defense. IT forced to fall back

sador, regards the situation as hope
less unless Italy's future neutrality
is bought and paid for. Last week..
the Frankfurter Zeitung urged that
Austria make territorial concessions
to Italy to keep the Italians out of the
war The Frankfurter Zeitung has an
importance because of it's government
al relations, unknown to American
journalism It's authoritative position
exceeds that which might be given
the Outlook If Theodore Roosevelt
were reelected president. There can
be no doubt that Berlin is now bring
ing pressure to bear on Vienna to re-
store to Italy a part at lcast of the
Italian districts of the Austrian em-
pire. The fact that the German Ceu-
scr permits sBerlin dispatches to reach
the outside world showing uneasineSs
over the italian situation, is move
to frighten Austria. The German en-
peror's approaching visit to the aged
Austrian ruler, is undoubtedly anoth-
er move in the game.
Not Italy's entrance into the war
on Germany's side, but only a guaran-
tee of her neutrality is requested in
the exchange for territorial conces-
sions This can only mean that
Prince Won Buelow has decisive in
formation that under no circum-
stances will Italy take up arms
against England and France. For the
AustroGermans, the alternative is
ItaIy's neutrality for her enmity. The
approach of spring will soon tell
which it Is to be.

for they insisted, Europe cannot bat

Some officials. however, professed tC
believe stringent action by this gov

claimed to see ray of light in over

England has presented to her al
lies the American request for some
agreement, whereby food can be ship

Germany, too, was reported willing tc

the terms of Americas proposals.
