Germans Make Shifts of
Troops in Campaign
Against Russians
TO FREE HUNGARY
FROM THE RUSSIANS
Is the Undoubted Object of the
Change Luu Preparatory to I'm
pending Movement - Russia Trying
to Make Way Easy for Rumania.

PETROGRAD, Jan. -. via London,
80 2. m.-The Russian general staff
has reached the opinion that the Ger
mans are preparing for a movement
west and southwest of Warsaw. staff
officers say this opinion is borne out by
the fact that the Germans have re
moved their sick and wounded from
LODI into Prussia and have changed
their ammunition bases.
Furthermore. information has been
received here of the arrival Of large
bodies of German troops in northern
Hungary and their distribution at
points within striking distance Of the
fortified positions covering the north
ern entrances into Hungary and the
principal passes Of the Carpathian
mountains now held by the Russians
This is taken to Indicate that the
Germans are reinforcing Austrian
troops for a vigorous effort to free
northern Hungary from the danger on
further Russian advances. The present
iull about Warsaw is regarded as
preparatory TO this impending move
ment.
The presence of Russian forces along
the river Dunajec. southeast Of Cra-
COW. not only would facilitate coop
Grafton by Rumania with Russia if she
were disposed to enter the war, but
also would threaten the Germans in
Silesia. The opinion is held by mill
/ tarv officers here that the German staff
! is attaching new Importance TO the
Hungarian situation.
I The appointment of Clarence Burian
rs Austrian foreign minister Is expect
/ ed here to put an end TO the discus
sion Of separate Russian peace with
Austria which is said here to have been
. favored

two shocks less severe. The disturb

PIERCES RUSS FRONT
IN BRILLIANT CHARGE
Sudden Attack in Western Gacia Was Result Of Plans
Laid by Military Chiefs Several Weeks Ago; British
Believe War Will Be Greatly Prolonged as Result Of
Engagement; New Austrian Army Prepared to Re-
sumo Offensive in Campaign Against Serbia

Italy has postponed again her de-
cision concerning participation in the
war. Rome dispatches say that new
offers have been presented on behalf
of Austria in an effort to satify Italy's
territorial demands.
King Victor Emmanuels decision not
to attend the unveiling of the Carl
baldi monument is regarded as indi-
eating that no warlike action will be
taken in the immediate future; for it
was the opinion in Rome that his pres
ence on this occasion would have been
equivalent to a declaration of war on
Austria. Prince Won Buelow, the Ger
man ambassador, is credited with hav
ing averted a crisis by presenting the
new offers.
Information from Vienna, which the
Austrian military authorities are now
willing to have known. shows that the
sudden attack on the Russians in west
ern Galicia was the result of an elabo-
rate plan made by the German and
Austrian military chiefs several weeks
ago. A large army of fresh Austrian
and German troops was concentrated
before Cracow before the attack.
Claims Exaggerated?
Unofficial advices from Russian
sources assert the German claims of
victory are exaggerated, although it is
admitted the movement was an i'm
portant one. The Russian war office
has had little to say concerning this
situation further than to state that
violent lighting has taken place. A

true the Russian front has been

Within Few Weeks Stirs

BY Associated Press

New York, May 4.-Convinced that
Charles Murray. the Az -year-old bov
murdered in the hallway of a lower
East Side tenement last night was
slain by the man who on March IL
killed Leonore Cohn, 5 years old, the
police made energetic efforts to-dsV
to arrest the murderer. Both crimes
were ripper" murders presenting
many similar features.
Several men who were lingering
about the neighborhood of the Muir
ray home were arrested on suspicion
early to-day but most of them were
released when the little sister of thu
murdered boy failed to identify them
as the, man she had seen hurryiny
from the hallway in which the boys
body was found soon afterward.
A negro porter in whose clothing
were found several rusty razor blades
and a revolver and who was lettering
near the Murray tenement, was still
under arrest. The second murder
only a short distance from the scene
OF the killing of the Cohn child caused

below Lochiel. will be taken up Thurs
day morning when Park Expert War
rem H. Manning, City Commissioner
Taylor and Assistant Park Superinten-
dent Hoffert will confer with the rail-
road officials on the question.
The proposed line of the encircling
parkway has been planned to include a
crossing at this point of the Pennsy so
that the proper connection may be
made with the eastern terminus of the
Cameron parkway.
The most feasible way for abridging
the two points is by carrying the road
way under the tracks by way of one of
two culverts that span Spring and Pax
ton creek. This is one OF the principal
problems Mr.. Manning will take up
with city and railroad officials during
his visit here this week.
Before the end of the week the city
oft1cfals will meet with the Philadel-
phta and Reading representatives rela-
tive to the proposed culvert crossing
beneath these tracks near Paxtang.
wi. Will prepare the pans ana
estimates of two types of culvert-one
30-foot and one 60-foot roadway
which will afterward be submitted TO
the Philadelphia and Reading COM
pany.
In addition to arranging for the
conference with the railroad men Mr..
Manning to-day visited City Treasurer
O. NJ. Copelin in company with Messrs.
Taylor and Hoffert and discussed the
possibilities OF securing the Capital
City Realty tract for the city for the
continuance OF the parkway. This is
one of the biggest unconnected links
In the section lying between Reservoir
and Wildwood.
In addition to these matters the ex-
pert met with the Planning Commits
sion and discussed routine matters and
then put in the remainder of the day
inspecting what portions of the park
system, the river front and the new
playground sites at Fifth and Emerald
streets and at Sycamore street, he
could get around to.
