BEAR THAT WALKS LIKE MAN WINNING
German Forces in the East Have Little Success Again st the Russians--Terrible Galacia Fight.
REAR OF GERMANS IS THREATENED BY RUSSIA
Duma Speaker Says Aim of Russian People to Gain Possession ofConstantinople And Bosphorus.

LONDON. Feb. lO-Under midwin- ter conditions the Russians and Aus tro-Kerman armies are fighting an- other series of battles for the pos session of Carpathian passes. which will decide whether the Russian troops commence another invasion of Hungary or will be compelled Co eyac- uate that part of Kalicia as they have done Bukowina.
 Two Russian officials claim they have thus far had an the better Of the fighting The Russian right wing at any rate. succeeded in crossing the mountains. for it has been engag- ed in battle near Bartfeld and Svid- mix. which are on the Hungarian side of tho Carpathians. on the edge of the plains which sweep down to Bud apest. This army, too threatens the rear Of the Austro-Germans. who. having entered Lupkow Pass to the east. have suffered severe losses in battle with another Russian force which is awaiting them there. The hardest fought fighting, however has taken place on the Galician side of Tukholka Pass. where Sunday the Austro-Germans captured the heights in the region of kozouwka only Co be driven from them after a bayonet fight Russian reports described it ffs tory" The battle is said by cores pondeuts to have been terrific.
 The Allies are reported to be mak- ing slow progress along the coast of Belgium. The capture of Great Dune obtained considerable advantage as from it almost the entire east as far as Ostend can be controlled by artin- cry.
 In the battle at Kosiowka the Ger mans brought up the best reinforce ments to aid the Austrian army and themselves led the attack Backed by heavy artillery they assaulted the Russian position on the heights. but found themselves under terrible fire from the Russians on parallel hills and were cut off from the main Ger man column They then attacked the Russian infantry. who drove them back at the point of the bayonet The attack followed 9 counterattack un- til the Russians regained the old po- sitions leaving the slopes. according 10 their report, filtered with the bod tes of dead Germans"
 The fighting here seems to have been as desperate and as sanguinary as that before the Warsaw lines dur ing last week. SO far as can be judged by official and unofficial reports. and to have been just as unsuccessful for the Germans The latter now have resumed the offensive on the south ern border of east Prussia. and as a result another important battle is de- veloping in that region. Of the bat tle in the northern part of east Prus- sia neither official speaks
 At the extreme end of the line, in Bu- kowina, the Russians are falling back before the superior Austrian forces but still hold the greater part of that province From Rome comes the re- jort that the Russians reached Wloc. laweck, on the lower Vistula, 30 miles southeast of Thorn If this is correct it suggests that the Russians, who were reported at Sierpec. made a move which may enable them to in. terfere with the transfer of troops from Poland to east Prussia as Wloc llawek is on the railway from Lowic7 GO Thorn.
 There is little or no fighting in Flanders, France or Alsace, although the artillery and airmen continue act i've It is believed the Germans are preparing for another attack on the British line near Iabassee, which il successful, will open the doof to the French coast, from which the Ger mans hope to threaten England
 Speeches in the Russian Duma, ir which the possession of Constantine pie is spoken of ss the ambition ot the Russian people caused little ol no discussion here.
