decisive stages. The invasion OF
Hungary with a possible early end
ing of the European war may hinge
in the result. Enthusiastic reports
of Russian successes have reached
here from correspondents at the
front The war Office while optimis-
tic, does not share the belief that the
battle has been won. Important vic
tories have been scored by the Slavs
but the gigantic clash for the Uszok
pass la yet to begin.
Nearly half a million Austro-Ger-
mans 1t is now estimated, are en-
camped along the Carpathian battle
front. either north of the mountains
at the passes themselves. or defend
ing the railroad at Mezo Laboro,
south OF the Lupkow gap. Behind
them are endless chains of trenches
and fortified possessions that must
be forced before the great bodies of
Russian troops pass down the
heights and into Hungary.
