SITUATION IN EAST
IS YET IN DOUBT
Petrograd Reports Tend to
Deny German Assertion
That the Russian Advance
Has Been Held Up in the
Carpathians and Declares
75-Mile Front Is Held

The abandonment by the German gen
eral staff of plans for a general often
sive in France is inferred in Rome from
information received there. 1t is said
that this decision is indicated by the Of
fetal communications to the Italian cab
met, as well as by statement of Ger
man in official circles, and that the hope
of penetration further into French terri
tory has been put aside.
A despatch from Geneva gives the inn
preston that the Austrians and Ger
mans have decided to concentrate their
energies in the eastern campaign. 1t is
said that a council OF war presided over
BY Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, deter
mined to transfer the Austrian heavy ar
tllery now before Nerdun to Poland and
to send back to Craeow in western Galicia
the Hungarian cavalry now on the west
crn front.
The situation in the east is still to be
cleared mp. The confident assertions from
Berlin last week that the Russian ad-
vance in the Carpathian region has been
halted il offset by the claim of the Pet
rograd war Office that the principal chain
in the mountains, comprising 75-mile
section of the front. is now in the pos
session OF the Russians and that 10000
Austrians have been captured in the past
few weeks. IL is said in petrograd that
the movement toward the interior OF
Hungary viii be resumed after the troops
have been rested and reinforced.
The Austrian war office. however, main
tans that the Austro-German forces are
gaining further victories.

premier of Spain. has made public a
