scope. 1t is thus expected that the
next three months will be especially
memorable In this war.
Military writer's are OF the opinion that
the reported French successes between
the Meuse and the MoselIe-an important
region stretching between the rival fort
resses Of Verdun and Metz-have given a
promising opening for the spring cam
paign. They regard II as the signal for
the general Offensive movement which
has been awaiting the arrival OF ADEQUATE
accumulations Of men. equipment and
supplies.
Russians Advance I'm Mountains.
The Russian offensive in the Carpa-
thians continues TO meet a strenuous de-
fense on the part of the combined Ten-
tonic armies, and although II appears TO
be slowly winning its way forward toward
the plains of Hungary. It has encountered
enormous difficulties. The Austrians have
been preparing their defensive positions
throughout the period which has inter-
vened since the Russians first raided this
same territory.
To riieve the pressure on the Russians
Is an additional reason for the activity of
their allies In the west. The report that
Emperor William personally Is directing
the operations In the Carpathians is
doubted. as is also the rumor from Col
ogne that Field Marshal Won Hindenhurg
has asked for reinforcements to the ex-
tent OF 100000 men to undertake another
campaign against Warsaw. It Is thought
to be far more likely that he will attempt
to divert the attention OF the Russians
by thrust from the direction OF Cracow.
