LONDON, Jan. STEADY prog

in their great offensive movement on
the frontier of Bukowina southern
Calicia). 1t is officially reported in
Petrograd that the Austro- Hungar-
ian troops holding the line northeast
Of Czernowitz are falling back be-
fore the assaults of the cars troops.
Fighting is going on in bitter cold
weather amidst the snow-filled val
leys Of the mountains east Of the
river Pruth.
Gen. IvanOff, who was put into
command Of the big group of Rus
sian armies when Car Nicholas took
command in the eastern theater OF
war is directing the operations on
the Galician front.
1t is reported that the German
war office, alarmed at the violence
of the Russian attacks, has ordered
large attachments of German troops
and masses of artillery to Bukowina
to prevent another Russian drive
toward Hungary such as took place
last winter.
However, before the Russians
could gain a position which would
menace the Austro- German lines of
communication into the Balkans,
they would have to cross the Car
pathians in the face of insuperable
difficulties.
Vienna processes the belief that
Russia has concentrated a majority
of her first line troops on the Ga
lician front and military experts
now look for another German drive
on the Dvinsk front, to offset the
pressure against the Teutons further
south.

military experts, the renewed Rus
sian offensive on the Bessarabian
front is the opening effort to ac-
complish another big drive through
Galicia, to outfiank the German
forces in the north and to compel
the abandonment Of the campaign
against Riga and Dvinsk. This
ambitious scheme, plainly visible
even to those having only a rudi-
mentary knowledge of military
strategy" they declare to be doomed
to failure, though the Russians are
said to have concentrated more than
100000 men of the first line for the
drive. All the artillery that could
be spared from other sections Of the
front has also been gathered to sup
port the intended Russian advance.
