RUSSIA DOMINATES
 GALIcIAN SITUATION

PETR0GRAD. Feb. 6.-Great mass. es Of Russian troops are being poured into Bukowina to overwhelm the Aus. trian army concentrated on the Hun- garlan-Bokowina frontier. Staff head uarters have been established at Ger owltz. the capital Of Bukowlna. About 250,0OO men have been concentrated in southern Bukowina.
 Early In the war the Russian gener' al staff underestimated the stragehc value of Bukowina and of the Kirlibaba and Borgo passes This error permit ted great flank movement by the Austrian army that carried it to the northern part of Bukowina and for time threatened the rear of the Rus sian forces advancing west through Galicia.
 For month the Russian armies in Galicia were in a serious perdicament. Though well on the way to cracow, they were obliged 10 fall back on the river Sau. They abandoned the pass es through the Carpathians. and con, centrated near Lemburg anticipating an attack from two sides.
 Fortunately severe weather prevent ed the Austrlans from reinforcing the advancing army in Bullowina, and when the situation had become favor. able for operations again, the Rus sians had managed to make their po- sitions secure Then began an advance in Bukowina that has since been un- interrupted. The Russians now hold tho entire Jacobeni district.
