The Germans and Austrians have at
tempted an enveloping maneuvre on a
large scale in the CArpathians, with the
object of turning both fianks OF the whole
Russian army operating in this region,
according to dispatches received here.
This explains the fierce action which
has been going on around Koziuvka for
several days, and also the repeated at
tacks on the Russian positions on the
secondary heights south OF the BeskId
ridge in the neignborhood Of the village
of Oroshpatak.
For the Austrians II is most important
to keep the Russians from the Uszok
Pass railway. which runs down into
Hungary This not only is the chief line
of communication for the Austrians en-
deavoring to hold the pass, but 1t also
serves to transport troops to any point
where they may be wanted in a hurry.
