RUSSIANS ATTEMPTINGTO
BREAK THROUGH GERMAN
LINE IN EAST PRUSSIA
Cars Forces Answer Now Ausro-German Offensive in
Hungary; Turks Bring Up Reinforcements in Trans
Caucasian Region; Furious Assaults Of Germans in
West Have Effected No Important Result

Russia has answered the new Austro-
German offensive movement in Hun
gary and Bukowina with a sudden re-
sumption of the attack on the Ger
mans in their own territory. The Rus
sian army in East Prussia is again
attempting to penetrate the German
lines and an official report from Petro-
grad to-day indicates that heavy fight
ing is in progress. In two sections of
the front, it is stated, the Germans
were defeated and driven back. For
several months there has been little
change in East Prussia, the Russians
having been halted after penetrating
nearly thirty miles beyond the Ger
man border.
To the south the new Austro-Ger-
man plan of campaign is developing
rapidly. The Austrian army staff an
nounces that the Russians who in
vaded Northern Hungary have been
defeated and forced to retreat. Petro-
grad military experts expect that the
main attack will be delivered on the
extreme Russian right wing, in West
ern Bukowina, a supposition which Is
supported by the concentration of Aus
trlan and German troops in Hungary.
Turks Reinforced
simultaneously with the stiffening of
the Austro- German attack the Turks
have brought up reinforcements in the
Transcaucasian region and are again
on the offensive. Russian and Turk
lsh reports are contradictory. but 1t is
| apparent that severe fighting is in
| progress.
In the West there is less activity.
! The furious German assaults of the
| last few days seem to have effected no
important results.
Russian claims of victory in East
Prussia are disputed in the official
German communication of to-day
which states that the attacks of the
| Russian invaders were defeated with
heavy losses to them. In Central Po-
land, it is said, the Germans took the
offensive and captured Russian
trenches.

Irwin S. Cobb, journalist, author and
gar correspondent, painted a vivid
word picture of the European war be-
fore an audience of 1000 in the Chest
nut street auditorium last evening. &.
Scenes and incidents in front of the
forts at Liege and Namur; in quiet,
peaceful villages in Belgium and
France yet untouched by the war; in
crowded, improvised, unsanitary field
hospitals within the sound of the
booming guns; of armies on the
march, soldiers in the trenches and at
play-all were described by Mr.. Cobb
in much the same style which has
characterized his writings.
Contrary to the expectation of many,
Mr.. Cobb-the gifted Mr.. Cobb of the
pen-proved to be a forceful, impress
sive speaker. His versatility was
shown by his complete ease on the
lecture platform and by the manner
in which he evoked round after round
of applause by his apparently mex
haustable store of anecdotes.
Descriptions are Realistic
Mr.. Cobb described a new kind OF
war, and there were few in his audi
ence who left the hall without shud-
dering at the horror of some of the
scenes he described. Himself a son of
a soldier, Mr.. Cobb declared he al
ways associated war with proudly
marching men, flying standards, clank-
ing steel and gallant charges against
a shouting, visible enemy. A few
months with the lighting millions in
Europe, however, cured him of all
these visions, he declared.
The new kind of war. asserted Mr..
