SITUATION IN
 CARPATHIANS
-.

PETROGRAD, April 2O.-The Car pathian conflict in which more than 100000 men and 5000 guns are en- gagged, is drawing into its decisive stage. according to dispatches from Warsaw
 The Russians are advancing over 5O.mile front from the Topla river to Uzsok pass. but the fighting is in pro- gross over 6 battle line 100 miles in length Operations in Poland have been relegated to secondary import ance as both Russians and Germans have withdrawn all available men from the Polish arena
 Having taken Smolnik the Russians are now in position to attack the rear of the Austrian army struggling against the reinforced Russian col umns at the Uzsok pass.
 An extended movement has been commenced by the Russians to cut on tho eastern wing of the Austrian army under Gen. Boerovitch by troops that poured through Dukla, Lupkow and Roster passes Fighting in the Car pathians is being carried on under tremendous difficulties. The spell of favorable weather has given way to snow and cold fogs, which render ar- ullery operations extremely difficult.
 The Russians, however are contin- ually increasing their pressure. They have the advantage of more troops than the enemy; consequently the Au. strians are on the verge of exhaua tion from fighting day and night.
 The success of the Russians in the Beskid ranges has caused another Au- strian retirement in that region, and Russian aerial scouts report much ac- tiyity at Commence, indicating the Austrians are preparing to move their base from that place. Once the west ern foothills of the Beskid range are crossed, the Russians will pour their forces into the plains of Hungary.
 On the border of Bessarabia and Blu kowina the Austrians are fighting in hope of compelling the Russians 10 weaken their armies in the carpath- ians by sending endorsements. but all reports from that region state that the Russians are more than holding their own.
