London, April 3.-The new Russian on
slaught upon the Uzsok pass from TN
Galcian side continues successfully, bu
under difficulties. The results, however
have been substantial, both in the i'm
portance of the positions gained and thu
number of prisoners.
The fighting is almost of unprecedent
ed character, says the official report IRON
Petrograd. In the neighborhood OF VOLTA
Miehova and Lutoviska, in the Galiciar
approaches to the Uzsok pass, the Rus
/ sian troops waded through SHOWS waist
deep, scaled the Beskid scarps, and al
other points advancing through forests
rendered impracticable by barbed wire
acknowledgements drove the Austrans back
step by step. The result of this feat OF
arms is the winning of a most important
series of fortified positions, from which
the Russians may be able to dominate
the principal chain of the Beskids. In
the fighting the Russians report the cap
ture of $500 men, so officers, and some
guns.
Large numbers of Austrians have been
taken prisoners. In the week following
the fall of Przemysl $4,000 were cap
tured in the battles for the passes. 1t is
believed that the Teutonic allies will not
be able much longer to resist the ire
mendous pressure. They have prepared
successive rear guard positions in expec-
tation of a retreat. About 100000 men
win be used in defending these posi-
tions.
In order TO prevent German reinforce
L A., ha
Russians have renewed activity in Cen
trail Poland. The German official re-
ports have had occasion to note the
attempt of the Russians to advance on
the Rawka river, while Vienna reports a
severe attack by the Russians on the Pill
lea river front, which the Austrlans say
they have repulsed.
Petrograd reports advantages on the
west bank of the Niemen in the krasna
region, and says that the siege OF Osso-
WEI has definitely been abandoned.
The fighting in the Carpathians is re-
ported in some detail in the official state
meut isued from Petrograd Thursday
night, as follows;
ION the west Niemen front on March
81, we gained an important success over
the Germans in the krasna region west
of Simno. The enemy began TO beat a
rapid retreat, obstinately pressed by us.
Our offensive continues in the Carpa-
with substantial results, in the
region OF VOLTA Miehoya and l.utoyiska.
On the 30th, our troops, wading through
snow up to their loins, climbing almost
precipces, stubbornly fight
ing their way through forests and barbcd
wire entangements. dislodged the Aus
trians from their trenches and captured
a series of fortified heights on the prin-
cipal chain of the Beskid mountains.
I'm the direction of Lutoyisks, not |
the enemy's violent fire and
the deep snow, we drove the Austrians |
from their fortified positions west OF Ma
siezne, which is southeast of Dverni-
kow.
