Czar's Forces on the Often sive Along Almost En-
 tire Front
AGAIN CROSS INTO
 BUKOWINA DISTRICT
Anglo-French Armies Active on ths Western Front. But Little Progress Has Been
 Reported

London. March 5.--(9:45 p. m.) Except in the central Beskid pass of the Carpathians. where fierce Aus trian attacks have moderated some what. the Russians are on the offen- sivc along the whole length of their extremely long line from the Baltic sea to the Roumanian border. Ap- parently they have definitely disposed of the German and Austrian attempts to outflanl their two extreme wings and are moving slowly westward.
 After retiring to tho Dneister river the Russians have again crossed into BuSo- wina and unofrieially are reported to be back in Cznernowitz They already had captured Sadagora few miles north east of the capital. Farther to the west they again are in possession of Stanislau and have crossed tho Lukwa river. a forward step. which. in the opinion Of military experts. probably will compel the Austrians to evacuate B,ikowina.
 In the BeslSid. Tukholka and Uzsok passes the Austro-Germans hold strong positions, whence they are continually attacking the Russians, while tn tho western passes, especially the DplSa, the Russians are on the Hungarian slopes. where the fighting has degenerated into trench warfare. The Russians are send ing endorsements to this southern line.
 Russians Advance
 In northern Poland the Russians arc advancing westward from the Niemen river and the Germans arc fighting in 2 rear-guard action. Only at one point is the German attack being seriously pressed against the fortress of ossowetz.
 To the south, according to a Berlin dis patch, the Germans have evacuated Mysz- yniec, on the East Prussian border, north west of Lomza. while farther vest near Mlawa, they are believed actually to have crossed the border after a defeat at PrzasnysM The Isnssians also show re-. vived activity in central Poland and have attacked the Germans east of Flock and near skierniewiee, southwest of Warsaw
 Tn the west the Anglo-French armies are doing most of the attacking but ap-t parently without making any further progress, although they claim to have repulsed German attacks which were de- lievered in an effort to regain lost ground
 The sinking of the German submarine u-S, as officially announced today makes the fourth submarine sunk by British ships since tho beginning of the war, the others being the U-i5. the U-1s and one rammed by the destroyer Badger off the n n destroyer also sank one and the captains of two British mrchantmen claim the prizes offered for the first merchant cap tain to account for a hostile submarine.
 There was no news tonight of naval operations in the Dardanelles.

 The submarine us was built in 1908. She had speed of 13 knots on the sur face and eight knots submerged. Her maximum radius of operations was 1200 miles. The vessel carried three torpedo tubes. Her complement was 12 men.

Shells Cause No Worry

In the outskirts of a village where Ger man shells fall at intervals there were seen Infantry attachments practicing at hand grenade attacks, and in the defense or trenches. Nobody worries about the danger from German shells while they rent the air with their own explosions of bombs thrown at close range.
