LONDON, Jan. S.-Fierce fighting on
n twenty-mile front along the bend Of
the River Styr is reported in dispa tches
from both Petrograd and Vienna today.
The Russians are assailing the Aus
trian lines fifty miles east Of the i'm
portant railway town of Kovel, objec-
tive OF the offensive in Volhynia. Petro-
grad reported today that, after captur-
ing the town of Czartorysk the Slavs
pressed on and captured a range of hills
west of the town. They are now assail-
ing the main heights barring the ad-
vance on Kovel.
Kovel Threatened.
The fighting in this region has tenn
porarily detracted attention from the
struggle northeast Of Czernowitz and
along the Tarnopol- -Trembowla line,
where nearly a million men with several
thousand guns are reported to be en-
gagged.
This Is true mainly because the possi-
biNt1es of an important military success
are greater in the offensive east Of Ko-
vel than at any other point in the strug-
gle.
Capture of Kcvel by the Russians
would cut the railway supplying the
Austro-Germans in the fortresses OF
Luzk and Dubno, and threaten the en-
Nelcpmcnt of the Germans around
Pink.
Attacks Are Ferocious.

tured.
No early decisive successes for the
new SIav offensive is expected here, the
strength of the Austro-Germsn defens as
being well known. 1t Is considered
likely, however, that a continuation Of
lhe heavy Russian attacks will delay
the beginning Of an Austro- Bulgarian
German invasion of Greece by prevent
ing the transfer Of troops from the Rus
Sian front.
Some idea OF the determined nature
OK the Russian blow on the Bessara-
bian front is conveyed by Petrograd
dispatches. which state that the Rus
slams for fifty hours concentrated 400
Hltns on the Austrians' positions at
Czernowitz as preparation for an
infantry attack. The Russian commu-
nications do not vet say Czernowitz
has fallen. but dispatches from Ger
man sources admit their position there
is critical.
All Of the Russian operations thus
far revealed are being pressed along
the railway lines, which simplify the
problems of tho winter supply Of food,
ammunition, and fuel.

Remarkable Results.
OF this relationship between these two
companies much of a remarkable char
acter has been produced. In defense OF
this relationship, the two companies
nave simply taken the position that il
exists by reason of a contract, which
though radically altered to the sole
benefit Of the railway company, Is a
binding one, and not subject to review
by the Public Service Commission.

TO say that however much against the
general public welfare a contract may
be, 1t is not subject to change. And
there nave been many court cases where
decisions have been passed on the prin.
ciple that no contract is a binding or
Vaiiu one which operates against the
public interest.
