RUSSIANS RENEW
GREAT OFFENSIVE
WITH 5 ATTACKS
Austrians Assert They Re-
pulsed Them, in Bessarabia

ADVANCE IN MONTENEGRO
Germans Declares British Offer
to Submit Baralong Case to
Neutrals Is Unsatisfactory

The eastern field of war again re-
sumes prominence with the resump-
ton of the offensive by the Russians
in Bessarabia.
There had been a cessation of ac-
tivity in that part of the fighting front
for several days. Vienna now reports
however, that the Austrian lines have
been subjected again to determined
attacks but that the Russian attempts
to break through were repulsed, al
though the attacking forces in great
numbers advanced five times to the
assault, the Austrian artillery prov
ing deadly in stopping the Russian
offensive.
1t is claimed by the Austrian war
office that since the inauguration OF
the winter operations in Eastern
Galicia and Bessarabia more than s.
600 Russians, including 80 officers
have been taken prisoners. The Rus
slams also have claimed numerous
captures, and have declared that
notable gains of grounds have been
made during the operations north OF
Czernowitz along the rivers Stripa and
Styr. The Austrians refuse to con.
cede the Russian claims and declare
their lines have held firm at all
stages.
Press Campaign
The Austrians, who at present are
the most actively engaged of any OF
the belligerents. are pressing their
campaign against Montenegro and
announce further advances into the
interior of the little kingdom in fol-
lowing up their successes on the
southwestern frontier, which included
the storming OF Mount Lovcen and tho
capture of Cettinje. The Monte
negrins are in retreat and are suffer-
ing losses in men and guns, according
to Vienna.
Germany, in replying to Great
Britain in the Baralong case, reiter-
ates the charges made against tho
British auxiliary cruiser officers ac-
cused in affidavits of Americans on the
steamer Nicosian of having refused
quarters to members of a German
submarines crew.
Germany Dissatisfied

unacceptable the British offer to sub
nit the Baralong case to a tribunal

fed cases of alleged outrages commit
