PETROGRAD, March 1S.-By forced
marches through the snow. Russian
forces have appeared unexpectedly and
delivered surprise attacks at the ex-
treme ends of the 700-mile battle line,
reaching from near the Baltic Sea to
the borders of Roumania.
The war office confirms the report
cabled here from German sources that
an army Of the Car has made a sudden
raid against German positions near
Tilsit, In northern East Prussia. At the
same time It was officially announced
that a Slav force has forced a crossing
Of the Pruth and is advancing against
Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina.
The strength OF the Russian force that
suddenly descended upon the Prussian
frontier from the Kovno district Is un-
known. The war office kept this move
ment a close secret until the text OF an
official statement from Berlin was
cabled here early today from London.
Then this unofficial statement was made
|sby military official.
Our troops have driven In a. German
force In the Kovno district. north OF
Tilsit. They have crossed the Jura, ana
