WOu d VCIy AIipoA eoAAt ouNSN"o III ''A'@ Carpathians. On Sunday her troops fought their way over the ridge at point due south of Balagrod, and they now are driving the Austrians down the Hungarian slope of the range.
 Although this achievement has been accompanied by no great cap lures of guns or prisoners, in other respects it is very noteworthy. In the mere extent of ground won, t probably exceeds anything achieved since the great Carpathian battle began many weeks ago.
 The greatest gain of the Russians is that they now have passed through the toughest, widest, woodiest part of the soft spot in the Carpathian barrier and little more than a days march separates them from the great Hungarian plains. Then nothing but open country lies between them and Budapest.
 Undoubtedly, they are on the eve Of very interesting events, for there l have been many indications that Aus ! tria was determined to stake her ex- i istence on the last cast of the die in l the Carpathlans.
 She has concentrated here prac- /! tically her entire arfny, "A corps, and also has the support of six German corps. Moreover. there are reasons 1 to believe that the Germans have l been induced to withdraw some of their troops from the East Prussian 1 front and send them to the assistance i of the harassed dual monarchy.
