BUK0WINA RUSSIAN
DEFEAT IS SERIOUS
Aim is to Prevent Soldiers of Gear
From Crossing Carpathians-
Their Retreat is Cut Off.
sLAvs MUST FIGHT STRONG ODDS
May Fly Across Border, Cast Off Arms
and Remain Neutral for Remainder
of War Doubtful.
(By J. w. T. MasOn)

New York, Feb. 11.-One of the
most serious defeats of the war is
in the process of being inflicted on
the Russians in BukOwina. The
Austro-German movements are being
developed to this end. One is MAX
ing it's way through the southern tip
Of Bukowina and the other is max
ing it's way into Galicia, about 40
miles beyond Bukowina's northern
boundary.
Cut Off Retreat.
A stretch of 200 miles of the south
eastern Carpathian mountains di-
vides the two movements, but there
are strong Austro-German forces
guarding all the mountain passes, so
that the Russians cannot break
through there. The Carpathians
form the western boundary of Buko-
wilma. On the eastern and southern
sides is Roumania. If the present
Teutonic strategy succeeds, the Rus
slams will be prevented from crossing
the Carapthians and the Austro-G Ger
man army now moving through
southern Galicia will cut off the Rus
sian retreat in the north.
The Slavs there must face the al
tentative of fighting against strong
odds in Bukowina or flying across the
Roumanian border and laying down
their arms in neutral territory for
the rest of the war.
Make Entrance Remote.
The effect of the Slav catastrophe,
such as this on the Roumanian public
opinion, undoubtedly would make
even more remote Roumania's en-
trance into the war. This is the
double objective at which German
leadership is driving-to drive the
Russian Bukowina troops into Rou-
mania and while there informing
them, at the same time overaweing
the bellicose attitude of the Rouma-

plan the Slavs must prevent the de-
velopment of The present drive
through southern Galicia. There is
still time for the Russians to back
out of Bukowina into Galicia, before
the Germans close the door, But it

fAssociated Press by Federal Wireless
VIENNA, Austria. Dec. 16.-The re-
lily OF the Austro- Hungarian govern
ment to the American note demanding
q prompt disayowal Of the action OF
the Austrian submarine commander
who sunk the Italian liner Ancona, a
pledge that he would receive punish.
Inent for his wanton slaughter Of de-
fenseless passengers, and an agree
ment to indemnify the relatives Of the
American citizens among the Ancona
dead, was yesterday handed TO Ambas-
sador Penfield by Baron Won Burian,
the minister OF foreign affairs.
The Austrian reply does not meet
any OF the American demands, being
simply an expression of the readiness
OF the Austro- Hungarian government
20 exchange opinions with Washing
tom regarding the alleged illegality OF
the torpedoing OF the Ancona and q
willingness on the part OF AustTo-Hun-
gary 20 consider whatever legal max
inns Washington may desire TO present
tc show that the commander of the
Austrian submarine did violate any OF
the rules OF warfare or obligations OF
international law.
The Austrian reply is brief. the text
being only some 500 words.
Admiralty, Backs up Officer.
Prior to the handing Of the reply
20 the American ambassador, the gov
eminent made public statement from
the Austrian admiralty, which strong
ly upheld the action Of the submarine
Commander and as strongly deprecat-
ed the idea that the government
should bow TO the demand of the Unit
ed States that his action should be
6isavowed and that he should be pun
ished.

mends the submarine commander for

stroying the Ancona and saving his
own ship from capture or destruction

OF American lives 10 10 be regretted.
Feeling Against America.
The general feeling amongst the
residents here is that Austria should
refuse to accede to the American de-
mands. A prominent citizen, whose
words and sentiments reflect the gen.
eral attitude in Vienna, told the cor
respondent Of The Associated Press
yesterday that the prolongation of the
war is due to the part taken In 1t on
behalf Of the Allies by the United
States, which has been supplying the
Allies with submarines. men, muni-
lions Of war and supplies.
The American note concerning the
Ancona, he said, had been couched in
insulting terms and contained de-
mands that would be humiliating for
Austria to accept. while the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador had been har-
ried and the diplomats in both the
Austrian and German embassies had
been baited by the American govern
ment and press.
