Both Sides Make Big Efforts
To Win a Decisive
Battle.
MISREPRESENTATION
WARSAW STILL CONTINUES TO
BE DEATH TRAP FOR BOTH
ARMIES.

In the realm Of military interest
all eyes today are turned toward tho
eastern battle front. Here tremen.
dous efforts Of both sides have not as
yet produced any result worthy TO be
called decisive. The Russian forces
which have been giving ground before
a fierce attack OF the reinforced Aus.
tro;German army in the carpathian
passes, apparently have checked the
onward rush Of the defenders OF Hun.
gary, but in Poland, IN front OF War
saw, the opponents appear still TO be
hammering each others line with a
fierceness which recalls the first Ger
man invasion Of Poland.
In spite Of the desperate nature Of
the fighting In front OF warsaw, Il Is
generally believed in England that
the most critical action is developing
in the Carpathians, where the res
ported Russian reverses will compro-
mise the new campaign opening
against Hungary.
Except for several minor attacks of
the Germans on .Neuport the western
line OF battle evidently has enjoyed
quiet weekend. Air and sea opera.
tions also have been suspended our.
ing the past few days. London not
even being thrilled by rsual Sunday
rumors that Zeppelins were on their
way to the British capital. Also
there has been complete absence Of
naval news.
