IMPORTANT ISSUE
DEPENDS ON BATTLE
If Austrians Win, 1t Means
That Their Territory Is
Freed from Invasion,
Probably for the. Remain
der of the War

The Austrian government announced
to-day that the attacks OF the Russians
in the carpathians had been broken down
and that they had suffered, heavy losses
Tn certain sections of the front the Aus
TRANS are on the offensive and have cap
tured 4,ooo more Russians, it is reported
The statement from Petrograd yesterday
contained an admission that the Rus-
slams retreated in the region OF one OF
the mountain passes.
Particular significance is attached oy
military strategists to the outcome OF
the campaign in the Carpathians on the
Ground that probably it will decide the
mastery of this region for the remainder
of the war. Should Austria gain definite
victory her territory would be freed from
invasion.
In Poland and west Galicia, the Vienna
statements says the situation is un-
changed.
Petrograd dispatches agree that bat
lie of almost unexampled fury is in prog
ress along the Warsaw front, with the
issue yet TO be determined.
Desultory fighting is in progress in Ar
gonne and Alsace, but elsewhere in the
western zone the activity is diminishing.
The German attack in Flanders, although
leading to several days brisk fighting,
has not developed into an important en-
gagement, and apparently the onslaught
has been abandoned.
