PETROGRAD, April u, via Lon
don.-There are still no indications
that the Germans have sent further
reinforcements to the Austrians II
the Carpathians, Notwithstanding the
fact that the German forces alons
the Niemen river, in the north near
the East Prussian frontier. appear to
be weakening. For this reason Rus
sian staff officers believe that German
troops from the north are being re-
moved to some other part OF the
front.
No signs are evident of renewed
activity on either side of the Nis-
tula. The conclusion accordingly is
drawn that the German troops viii
begin a new offensive movement
from some other gu. rter. This al
tack is expected by the Russian stan
from the direction of Cracow.
According to semi official informa
tion, observations made by the Rus
SLAMS have convinced them that t.,
Germans have no intention of de-
veloping operations at the present
time along the Warsaw or Eas,
Prussian fronts with a view to re-
heving pressure on the Austr1alls
The only alternative would be drive
from Cracow and the appearance CT
a strong German force in this yicia5
ity would cause no surprise here.
Thus for the only aid extended e
the Austrians in the Carpathians ap-
pears to be that given by Bayarian
frontier guards who were removed -
