RUSSIAN ONSLAUGHT SEEN
AS GREAT STRATEGIC MOVE
Attempt to Break Teutonic Backbone
in the Balkans Is Predicted
On 3OO-MjIe Front.

London-Russia's campaign in Bess-
arabia continues to be the most i'm
portant visible war activity. From the
Pripet to the Rumanian frontier, over
front of at least 300 miles, huge
Russian force with great appearance
of confidence is hurting sledge-ham-
mer blows at the opposing force which
according to all accounts totals at
least one and a half million men.
The Russians have captured the
heights northwest of Czernowitz, Blu
kowina, according to a dispatch to Ru-
ter's Telegram Company from Pc
trograd. Eight hundred and seventy
prisoners fell into their hands.
Petrograd still claims considerable
successes in the early stages of the
campaign and dispatches emphasize
the excellent equipment, supplies and
munitions that Russia laid up for this
purpose during a period of compare
tive passivity
