RUSSIANS CLAIMING GAINS

Abandonment Of Siege Of ossowlec
Held a Confession That the Ger.
mans Offensive In Poland Has Been
Given up--Russians Cross Into
Hungary, but at a Great Loss Of
LIfe-Operations Elsewhere.
London, April 2.-Developments in
the eastern war zone within the last
forty-eight hours have been of the Ut
most Importance to the allies. The
German offensive in north Poland
seems to have been abandoned, at
least temporarily, except for the in.
significant operations Of the forces un-
der the nominal command of Prince
Joachim, north Of the Niemen. They
are still pursuing the remnants of
commands which made the raids into
Memel.
The siege Of Ossowiec has been
abandoned, and according to military
observers this is confession that

nysz to the East Prusian border; the
nature of the German drive down tie
Omulew valley; the signal defeat on
Lake Dusia last Sunday, all combined
tc put the besieging batteries in dan
ger of being cut off. When these
forces withdrew it was an indication
that the Germans had no more army
corps to hurl to their relief.
Meanwhile the battle Of tle Carpa-
thians is developing to the satisfac-
ton of the allies. There is no doubt
that the Germans are sending heavy
reinforcements to the sorely pressed
Austrians, but the two forces have not
yet come together.
Dispatches say the Russians are
over the Hungarian line at UZok pass,
but at an enormous expense in lives.
All reports agree that both sides in
the battle of the Carpathians are
fighting with an utter disregard Of
life, and the toll will be very heavy.
In addition, the Russian forces
guarding Warsaw from the south have
suddenly turned on the German
forces. The Russians in force are said
to be pressing the Germans under
General Won Mackenzen very hard,
attacking tirelessly with one division
after another night and day. A. sue
cessful outcome of this movement will
place the Germans in a dangerous
position.
