The Furious Conflict In East.

London. - The Russian offensive
operations appear to extend along their
whole front-an indication that they
have been able to bring very stronger
reinforcements into the field.
They have successfully checked the
German advance in North Poland
where the Germans are reported to be
In retreat, and the recspture Of
Przasnysz, after severe fighting, has
given them an excellent pivotal point
from which to carry on their further
operations

fer TO the capture OF a large number
Of Germans as a new phase Of the war.
and credit II to lack Of officers among
the German armies and the large num-
Der OF young unframed men who have
been drafted into them.
The Russians claim to have captured
SIS officers and 5,4OO men.
The Russian offensive extends TO
what is now known as the Bzura-
Rawka front, where they successfully
opposed Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's attempt to advance on Warsaw
IN December and January.
In Western ealcla.
There has also been heavy fighting
IN Western Galicia and in the Car
pathians, but without bringing any
notable c'ange in the situation. In
Eastern Galicia the Russians report
another repulse for the Austriaus, who
have again lost a number Of prisoners.
WitN Russia II would seem to be a
case OF keeping up the supply OF am
munition. which tie opening Of the
Dardanelles would greatly assist.
The aftamrt to force the straits by
the allied feet IS indeed Of momentous.
importance to the Allies.
The o0eni'g Of the straits would re-
lease the Russian grain which the
Allies want and would give to Russia
war material which she herself cannot
produce, while 1t would be certain to
have a marked effect on the future
policy Of the Balkan States.
