Russians Attempt Offensive
Move to Counteract the
Failure in South
SUDDENLY RESUME
ATTACK IN E. PRUSSIA
Meanwhile, Austro-German
Offensive Is Developing
in Hungary

Russia has answered the new Austro'
German offensive movement on Hungaria
and Bukowina with the sudden resump-
tion of attack on the Germans upon their
own territory. The Russian army in east
Prussia is again attempting to penetrate
the German lines, and the official report
from Petrograd to-day indicates that
heavy fighting is in progress. In two
sections of the front, it is stated, the
Germans were defeated and driven back.
For several months there has been little
change in east Prussia, the Russians hav-
ing been halted after penetrating nearly
80 miles beyond the German border.
To the south the new Austro-German
plan of campaign is developing rapidly.
The Austrian army staff announces that
the Russians who invaded northern Hun
gary have been defeated and forced to
retreat. Petrograd military experts ex-
pected the main attack would be deliv-
cred on the extreme Russian right wing
in western Bukowina. The supposition
is supported by the concentration of Aus
trian and German troops in Hungary.
simultaneously with the stifening Of
the Austro- German attack, the Turks
have brought up reinforcements in the
Caucasus region and again are on
the offensive. The Russian andshe Turk
ish reports are contradictory, but it is
apparent that severe fighting is in prog
ress.
In the west there is less activity. The
furious German assaults of the last few
days seem to have effected no important
results.
The Turks who are supposed to be ad-
vancing into Egypt are marooned some
where on the desert sands and have not
been heard from since the announcement
three days ago of their presence eastward
of Kantura, and no further clashes with |
British outposts are reported.
message from Vienna via Venice
says there is a growing popular demand
in Austria that the government follow
the example of Germany and take over
all the grain and -four in the market.
