RUSS FIGHTING
ON FIELDS OF ICE
Cza Launched Offensive With
Coming Of Cold.
ARE ADVANCING II GALIClA
Both Muscovite and Teuton Force:
Use Skis to Battle On ice in SWampy
Regions.

Use Skis to Battle On ice in SWampy
Regions.
Petrograd, Jan. IA phenomenally
severe winter, which within the last
three weeks in Fetrograd, for instance
has resulted in temperature OF thirty
degrees below zero, has, instead OF
retarding military movements, given
openings for attacks in newly-openec
gaps in the German line, from Riga
to Galicia.
Rivers, lakes and swamps, which
hitherto have formed a natural barrier
between the German and Russian
lines, have become solid ice. For the
possession Of these gaps, many OF
which give valuable facilities fol
cavalry fianling movements, fierce
battles are now raging.
So determined has been the Russian
effort to win and utilize these ice
gaps that the Germans have found il
necessary to hurry up all their avail
able reserves. In many instances
they have concentrated over the short
sectors scores of thousands more
troops than hitherto. Military experts
estimate that there are now 100000
Austro-German troops deployed on the
Russian front.
Reinforcements are arriving daily
including numbers of German troops
hastily withdrawn from Serbia, &C
cofding to the acknowled gment Of Ger
tain, captured units.
Thus the inference follows that II
Grs he continues to refuse the Bull
I'D .a5 right Of entry into Greek
te Fitory, the Austro-Germans are moi
lhesy to possess the requisite back
ing in favor of pressing vigorous Of
fensive against Salonika.
One of the interesting features OF
this ice gap fighting is the extensive
use of skis by both the Russians anG
Germans. This is especially true OF
the swampy Tchartorysk valley, il
the Styr region, which through the
rapid December thaw became a greai
lake. Then wave of severe frost
transformed the level into a sheet OF
thick ice, completely altering the
strategic possibilities of the region.
Here the other day Russian caval
ry detachment, lurking in a fringe o,
f1rwood, dashed out, chased and cap
tured a party of Austrians mounted
on skis. Among the prisoners were
Baron Wolfhoven and several Other
prominent Viennese sportsmen.
Austrian snipers. on the outposts
along the southern frontier, are now
equipped with white linen cloaks an
trousers, rendering it difficult to see
them against the snow.
The Germans are paying increased
attention to the Ukskull region, in the
northern sector, where an intense ar
tillery action has been proceeding fol
several days. The frost has been less
severe during the last two days, bu
it Is still holding along the front.
In strenuous battle on 130-mile
stretch on the southern front, between
the Dniester and the Rumanian from
tier, the Russians have gained. From
the south of the Stripa they made {
sudden advance along a thirty-three
mile front, holding and entrenchins
the ground gained. They also advanc
ed near OlypA IN the Styr region ant
crossed two lines of German trenches
which they cleared and occupied.
