LONDON, March EVEN II no
decisive battle develops from the
present Russian offensive on the
eastern front, the allies today are
advancing the claim that the Austro-
German plans for their spring cam
paign in the east have been measur-
ably interferred with.
!. A few weeks ago Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg was sweeping vic
toriously through northern Poland,
while in the south the Austrians
were pressing forward both in Cali
cia and in Bukowina. Today these
roles appear to be reversed. Rus.
sian troops are attacking along the
German line from the Nieman to the
Vistula, and although the Germans
are clinging tenaciously to their po-
sitions before Ossowetz and at othe.
points north of the Vistula, their
thrust toward Warsaw has been
brought to standstill. and they are
being slowly forced back to their
own frontier.
Other news dispatches reaching London
set forth that in the south the Austrians
and the Hungarians continue to fling
themselves with great bravery even
greater loss against the Russian lines
These onslaughts have nor yet abated;
the Russian general stoff declares they
have brought no gains The Gsrnsan oon-

SuItan's Flight Reported
In the meantime the allied fleets are
slowly battering their way up the Oar
danelles without so far as is known a
single serious loss among the ships. The
sultan Of Turkey according to a report
from Athens already has fled. This how
ever has not been confirmed and reports
from Turkish sources notably an inter
view with Enver Pasha, deprecated the
seriousness OF the bombardment Of the
Dardaneiles and insists that the real de.
lenses Of the straits have not been ar
fected.
