new CERMAN GUN Will
FIRE ACROSS CHANNEL

Berlin, Jan. 26.-Remarkable fig
ures regarding new German naval
gun are given by German artillery
expert, writing in the Artilleristiche
Monats Hefte.
In discussing an assertion by the
London Times that the German navy
possesses a gun which carries three
miles further than the best British
weapon the writer admits that Krupps
are manufacturing gun whose pro-
jectile weighs 92O Kilograms (about a
TOM and which develops muzzle
velocity of $40 meters (3,7OO feet) a
second.
The expert reckons from these fig
ures that the gun is 80 per cent more
muzzle force than the British navy's
best weapon and has a range of
about twenty eight miles, while the
channel width at Dover is only TWEEN
ty-two miles.
He says the figures given if cor
rect, will permit the Germans event
ually to command the English coast
from Calais for a distance of about
six miles inland with the new gun.

AUSTR|ANS THREATEN
RUSSIAN STRONGHOLD

Rome, Jan. 26.-Austria's army, aug
mented by heavy reinforcements, not
only has broken the Russian offensive
aimed at Hungary, but is threatening
the cars hold on Bukowina.
Official dispatches received from
Vienna report the capture of several
trenches held by the Russians in the
Carpathians. These constitute the out
works by which the Russians held
passes leading into Pennsylvania and
Hungary. North of Watra Dornda, in
Southern Bukowina, Austrian artillery
forced the evacuation of several lines
of trenches.
It is reported here that large bodies
OF German troops are passing into
Eastern Hungary to block the threat
ened Russian invasion.
The Austrians are reported to be

OFFENSIVE MOVE BEGUN

Austro- German Forces Initiate Plan

trian Solicitations on Defensive In
Poland.
Petrograd, Jan. 26.-There has been
pronounced activity along the entire
Austrian front of 800 miles during the
last few days. This is regarded here
as marking the initiation of the plan
for an Austro-German offensive move
ment, which is believed to have been
adopted recently with the object OF
clearing the Russian invaders from
Bukowina, Eastern Galicia and North
ern Hungary.
In Galicia, between the Rivers Wis.
lula and Jasiolka, approximately thir-
ty miles east of the Dunajoe, General
Brojevitz, commander of the Fourth
Austrian army, has undertaken a for.
ward movement in the direction of
Przemysl.
Whether this is an attempt to re.
lieve Przemysl, which has been under
siege for several months, or to force
the Russians to withdraw from Buko-
wilma is not yet clear.
Simultaneous attacks are recorded
on, the Russian positions in Bukowina,
in the vicinity of Kimpulung and in
the South Polish provinces of Radon
and Kielce, along the line from Inow-
LODI to Konskie and thence to Sob
kow, where heavy artillery engage
ments have occurred
Still on Defensive in North.
Northward there appears to have
been little change. Northwest of War
saw, from Radzanowo to Dobrzyn on
the Vistula, the Germans are still on
the defensive. On the left bank OF
the Vistula, west of Warsaw and along
the RoWka, the Germans are stub
bornly attempting to advance. Be-
tween Borgimow and Gumin, twenty
five miles west of Warsaw, desperate
hand-to-hand fighting is reported.
The village of Borgimow has chang
ed hands several times as the armies
surged back and forth. At last reports
it was not occupied by either side, as
neither OF the opposing forces is able
to hold it.
No less stubborn is the action on
the line between Granow and Kur-
danov, southeast of Sochaczew. In
this vicinity the Germans are said to
have moved forward in the open, over
fields strewn with the dead, many OF
whom had died by freezing. The
progress here was slight. Neither
the Germans nor the Russians were
able to gain more than few yards.
