AUSTRO- GERMANS
AND GEAR IN RACE IN
SOUTHERN WAR ZONE
Russian Penetration of Hun
gary May Foil Second
Teuton Invasion of Servia,
Expert Says.
By j. W. T. MASON

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Russias pene-
traition into Pennsylvania along the main
roads to Budapest is announced by Petro-
grad today, simultaneously with reports
from Bucharest that large forces of Ger
mans are moving through Hungary for a
second In vasion of Servia. 1t seems,
therefore, that a race is in progress of
development between the Austro-Germans
and the Russians as to who shall first
develop a serious offensive in the south
eastern war zone.
The Russian emergence from Bukowina
through the Kirlibaba Pass gives the
Slavs a base of operations about 26O miles
due east of Budapest. This Is long
distance to go at the present rate of
progress of the contending armies. The
Germans apparently have counted on the
Russians being so seriously hampered
that it will be possible to develop sec
ond Servian campaign while at the same
time preventing Hungarian territory being
overrun.
II the Slav advance Is greatly DELAYED
the Germans will be entitled by rules OF
strategy to attempt the recapture OF
Belgrade: but quick movement of the
Russians into the Hungarian plain will
foil the second Servian campaign as il
uid the nrSt.
There is a double problem now facing
the Austrian and German borders. Hun
gary must be kept satisfied with the
measures for its defense and Rumania
must be indirectly menaced so that II will
not enter the war on the side OF the Allies
The Russian advance through Transylva-
mia threatens Hungary and at the same
time is an enticement TO RumanIa. The
Rumanians want Transylvania as their
share OF the war loot but II they lag
behind until the Slavs capture the pro-
vince its eventual Incorporation in the
Rumanian kingdom will be remote
While Russia's present offensive is
arousing Rumania's ambitions a German
campaign In Servia would tend TO hold
the Rumanians back, for fear the Allies
may not win the war in the East n Ru-
mania were to side with Russia and II
eventually the -Austro-German forces
were to dominate the situation, the Ru.
manian statesmen know they would be
sacrificed in peace negotiations.
IT, however, Russia can move with suf-
ficient vigor toward Budapest to break iip
Austro-German designs on seryia, abAn-
donment of the second SerVian campaign
ana denomination OF Russia's ability TO
dominate TransylVania and march on
Budapest might bring Rumania quickly
into the war as the slays' ally. Il is i'm
probable that the German troops in Hun
gary will be as helpless as this Itogram
requires them TO be, Until further devel-
opments are known, therefore, the situa-
tion must contain many conflicting posi-.
bilities.

were taker prisoners.
The fighting in the Argonne region is
also declared to have been of the most
deadly character. The Germans sheIled

day. The infantry then charged, captur-

If some one had told them such an

a means of saving training camp bills.
Managers Howl.
The magnates thought by adopting
the rule they had accomplished need
ed reform. But the managers didn't.
They howled. Most of the managers
said that March 1 wasn't early enough
to begin training. Furthermore, some
one argued that ii the American and
National league club didn't go into
training until after March / it would
give the Feds chance to grab lot
Of early publicity by sending their
teams south during February.
Then the magnates took tumble to
the line that rules is rules; don't let
rules stand in your way too much"
There is nothing in the wording of
the new rule, as we interpret it, that
bars a manager from sending his bat
terry men to some place south of Ma
son and Dixon line two weeks or so
before March /, just SO long as he
doesn't send the men to the regular
camp. Because there is no rule against
this, it Is fairly safe wager that some
Of the pitchers and catchers will be
working out in the south quite some
time before March 1.
