Austrian Right in Bukowina
Trapped in Flanking Attempt

Pctrograd. March 6. Rcoccupation
by the Russians of Stanislau is regard
ed here as justifying their claim that
the rapid advance of the Austro-Gcr-
man right flank in East Galcia was
hazardous SO long as their left flank
III Galicia was successfully held back
by the Russian forces. The right
Austro-German flank advanced impetu-
ously. apparently without regard to the
inability of the left wing to cooperate
in the contemplated oncircling move
ments. The right flank in consequence
is now in danger of having the table
turned and being surrounded by Rus
sian forces.
The Russians now look for the re-
trement of the Austrians from Ger
nowitz and all of Bukowina, where the
Austrian positions will have become
untenahle if the Russians are able to
continue the successful movement
initiated at Stanislau.
Russian staff officers say that since
the failure of the Austro- Germans in
the Stanislau region their attacks have
weakened. not only in that vicinity. but
in Western Galicia. between the rivers
Ondava and San. Their attacks here,
in the opinion of the Russian staff,
are a device to draw the Russian
troops westward from HalicZ and the
River Dniester
Germans on Defensive.
Having abandoned the offensive along
the northern front. the Germans now
are seeking merely to fortify the Rus
sian territory taken in the advance
from East Prussia and establish a de-
fensive line. This line roughly paral-
lels the border. extending from SimnO
to Sercc. Augustowo, along the Bobr
River and on to Mlawa.
The Russians apparently have been
able, however. TO interfere seriously
with this plan by the advance of the
10th Army, which the Germans as
serted was virtually destroyed as a re
suit of the German victory in East
Prussia. The successes of the l0th
Army IN the Lomza district threaten to
compel the withdrawal of the Germans
from Grodno or imperil maintenance
Of their communication between these
