RUSSIAN STAFF HAS
No FEAR OF AUSTIJASS

Petrograd, Feb, IA (yia London, 8
y. m.)-liussian staff officers assert
today that Notwithstanding the re-
occupation Of the crown land of Bu-
kowna by Austro-German armies It
does not constitute menace to the
Russian flank or to the Russian po-
sition about the town of Lembcrg.
This Is due to the fact, the Russians
maintain, TO the north and south are
mountain ranges which render that
section OF the country isolated and
because the Russian positions in the
Beskid range on the south preclude
the probability of a successful attack.
IN The mountain posses, where
much fighting at close range Is TAX
ing place, the Germans have produced
new fighting machines in the shape
OF bomb-throWers and fre-spouters.
The former contrivance consists Of a
small apparatus capable of being ear
ried By LNO men. 1t throws a thirty
pound bomb for u distance of 200
or 800 yards into the lines of their
opponents. II is used when artillery
is not available. The cOntriyance
consists of tube through which
"A stream Of burning oil is forced
for distance of eight yards
and which covers with flame every
thing il touches. This apparatus is
reported to be employed against bay
onet charges, favorite mode of Rus
sian fighting.
on the left bank Of the Vistula riv-
er there Is evidence that the Germans
are re-grouping their forces and they
evidently are preparing a new attack
in that region.

Summary of Var
NetUs of Yesterday

The latest official statements dis
close few details OF the progress of
the battles IN the eastern war zone,
presumably for the reason that the
Russians. who have been retiring
from East Prussia, have not yet
made ready to meet the advance OF
the reinforced German army
In Poland the opposing forces are
in alignment to the south Of Warsaw,
while the Austro-German troops are
making advances in Bukowina and
have captured important positions,
not only there, but In the Carpathians
in the neighborhood of Dukla pass.
In the western arena activity has
been Increased along the entire front,
particularly on the part Of the ar
tillery. More than 100000 Germans
are being assembled aud formidable
entrenchments are being prepared
along the Rhine, according to persons
who have been expelled by the Ger
mans from Alsace-Lorraine. In addi-
ton, all the VILLAGES in that territory
are being made ready for a siege

Warns Military Chiefs.


Military chiefs are warned to reject
"al promises Of political assistance
emanating from foreigners.
While high officials were reticent as
to the future course of the United
States government, it is evident that
the treatment of foreigners in Mex
leo. the food famine in Mexico CITY
and the plight of the diplomatic
CORPS there have given the admins
tration much concern.
Although eight censors are on duty
at Vera Cruz to prevent dispatches
unfayorable to the Carranza cause
from being sent abroad, 1t has been
learned authoritatively that tor some
time barely courteous relations nave
been maintained between Carranza
and the consuls of Spain and Great
Britain at Vera Cruz. These consuls
often have found it difficult TO see
Carranza. frequently being forced to
wait for hours in his reception room
only to be told to call again Both the
Spanish ana British cOnsuls incurred
the displeasure Of Carranza because Of
their persistence in calling to his at
| tentlon what they considered unjust
aggression on foreign property
Many Spaniards Executed.
