Petrograd.-While the Russians.
now masters of the Carpathian passes
for a distance of 120 miles west of
the Uzsok, are pouring down the
southern slopes to the Hungarian
plains by railways and along the roads
and banks of rivers, the Austro-Ger-
man armies on the Galician side of
the mountain range east of the Uzsok
entrance, according to indications in
unofficial dispatches and the opinion
OF military experts, are preparing for
a general retiring movement.
The further southwark advance of
the Russians, which seems practically
assured since their capture of one of
the principal remaining obstacles in
their path on the Uzsok-Bartfeld front,
Hill 909, will seriously endanger the
Austrians north of the Carpathians all
the way through Eastern Galicia and
Bukowina. Army officers insist that a
retreat will be the only means of saw
ing the Austrian force from being cut
off from their base.
1He onward e OF the Cars
troops is also a direct menace to Buda-
pest, the immediate objective of their
forward movement across the fat
land of Northern Hungary.
The Austrians are still holding by a
desperate resistance the position
known as Hill 992, which has been the
scene of much hard fighting. The off
cial report admits the failure of the
Russians to capture this place. The
battle for the Uzsok Pass continues
with undiminished violence, while the
rear of the Austro-G German armies in
this section is daily more seriously
threatened by the Russian advance
further to the east.
The battle, which has just been sue
cessfully conducted by the Russians
lasted eighty days, and was, from all
accounts, one of the ~fiercest of the
war. The most determined opposi-
ton on the whole line of battle was
on the part of the Hungarians, whose
fighting qualities are also being high
ly complimented by Russian officers.

ent OF THE Daily News" reported that
great masses of German reinforce

army. The Bavarians, who were too
late to prevent the Russians from oc.
cupying the entire ridge Of the mid
die Carpathians from Mesolaborcz to
Usok Pass, have joined General Lit
fingers army, which is now composed
OF seven German corps, supported by
an Austrian army corps from Transyl-
vania.
The Austro-German forces operat-
ing in the Carpathians are semi-ofi-
cially estimated at thirty army corps,
seven of which are German. These
are probably divided into five armies,
which are commanded by German
generals, under the personal direction
OF Emperor William, who is in Selisia.
The front line is composed almost
entirely of Germans. They have
chosen for their objective what is
called the Rostok direction; hat is,
the region about Uzsok.
