GERMANS REPULSED
Tcuton Dead Said to Lie in Great
Numbers Officer Claims to Have
Counted One Thousand.

Petrograd, Feb "details Of a
dramatic and desperately contested
fight in the Carpathian mountains,
III which the bayonet charges are de-
scrihed as most ferocious and with
out precedent in history, reached
Petrograd today.
According to these reports re-
peated attacks on the part of Ger
man troops we're finally repulsed by
the Russians, and the German dead
lay in great numbers in front of
the Russian positions. The losses
are described as enormous, and sub
GuestionabIy the fighting was wag-
cd with the utmost ferocity by Ger
mans and Russians alike.
The scene Of the fighting was at
Baligrod. which is thirty miles south
Of Sanok, in Galicia. German troops
were present in very considerable
numbers. 1t is claimed semi official
" by the Russian staff that the Hun
earian forces in the Carpathians
have been augmented by 100000
Germans and that German officers
are now definitely directing the Car
pathian movement.
A Russian officer claims PERSONAL
" to have counted upward of ],
600 German dead before the Russian
nositjons on this hill. He described
this engagement as typical of the
BATTLES which are occurring daily IN
the Carpathian mountains.
