BATTLE NEAR WARSAW
is STILL UNDECIDED

The Austrian government an
nounced today that the attacks OF
the Russians in the Carpa&hians had
broken down and thai they had SUI
fered heavy losses. In certain sec
tons Of the front the Austrians are
on the offensive, and the capture OF
1000 more Russians is reported. A.
statement from Petrogrzd yesterday
contained the admission that the
Russians had retreated in the region
Of one Of the mountain passes.

Vienna statement says, the situation
r unchanged. Petrograd dispatches
agree that battle Of almost unex
ampIed fury is in progress along the
Warsaw front, with the issue yet to
be determined.
Desultory fighting IS IN progress in
the ArgonRe and Alsace, but else,
where in the western war zone
activity is diminishing. The German
attack in Flanders. although leading
to several days of brisk lighting. has
not developed into an important en-
gagement. and apparently the on
slaught has been abandoned. ~

the German commander, is contir-
uing his costly lunges to break
through TO the Polish capital. At
the same time the Russians, furfher
10 the north. have pressed forward
and after crossing the Bzura river
they are seriously threatening the
Germans with an ouff1anlxinw move
ment.
Thus another great battle for War
saw is on, involving perhaps
greater loss of life than any other
conflict in the war. The issue Is stu
undecided. but the Russians claim
thai the initiative has passed to
them, although further furious Ger
man attacks are expected.
The Russian counter blow on the
massed assaults Of General Won
Hindenburgs men is. to British OBJ
servers, the most interesting deye.-
cpment of the struggle in the East.
It overshadows for the moment ths
operations Of Russians in East Prus
sia, and is taken in some quarters
to indicate that they have ceased

and determined on an effort TO expel
the invaders.
Dispatches from Cairo in6iczts
that the Turks who attacked the
Suez canal were merely the advance
contingent of three columns which
are struggling across the desert. The
main bodies of the invading arm
should soon be heard from.
