LONDON, Jan. According to
official advices from Vienna the
fighting on the eastern from has de-
creased in violence, the Russians
having ceased to attack with vigor
between the Pripet and the Bessa-
rabian frontier. The only gain Off
cially announced for the Russians
yesterday was at Czartorysk, the
scene of many sanguinary struggles,
where it is said the Austrians were
driven from the cemetery.
Any advance in this region will
threaten Kovel, one of the strongest
Austro-German positions. 1t is be-
lieved that even though no further
gain. should be made Russian forces
have attained position, which will
give the nation degree Of power in
Balkan affairs it has not had since
its armies were driven back from
the Carpathians.
The Teutonic allies still threaten
to expel the French and British from
their Macedonian positions, but no
forward move has been detected thus
far in that direction. Strong Turk
ish forces are said to be concentrat-
ing in the Thracian frontier OF
Greece and It is suggested the Turks
may attempt to make good some OF
the territorial losses they suffered
in the Balkan wars.
The. British public is still con-
cerned chiefly with the domestic cri-
sis Notwithstanding the heavy ma
jorlty for-the compulsion bill on first
reading in the House Of Commons
the press is specializing on the posi-
bility Of a breakup or the political
truce with general election as the
final chapter of the controversy.
