LONDON, Mar. 22-Two Russian
successes at the extremittes of a 900
mile front are reported today from
Petrograd and these seem to mark
the only important operations in
either arena OF the war. The sea-
port of Memel on the Baltic in East
Prussia is definitely in the hands of
Russia, but the place is OF little
strategic Importance as it is sur
rounded by swamps which. in
view OF the breakup OF winter, make
any further advance from
this direction. The Mcneil move
ment does however take the invaders
into part of East Prussia hitherto

At the other end OF the line the
Russians are advancing in Buko-
wilma in the direction OF czernowitZ.
They are now due east Of that city
on the line of the river Pruth and
they need only to cross the river
again to be In possession OF the cap
