LONDON, Feb. 10.-Under mild
winter conditions the Russian and Aus- tro-German armies are lighting un- otller series oi’ battles for the posses- sion of the Carpathian passes which will decide whether Russian troops will commence another invasion ol’ Hungary or bo compelled to evacuate part of Galicia, as they have done ill Buckowina. Russians have issued two oilicial reports ot' operations ac- cording to which they have thus far had all the better oi’ the lighting. Their right wing has at ally rate succeeded ill crossing the mountains for it has been engaged ill battle near Bartfeld ami Svidlllk which are on the Hilli- garian side ot' the Carpatllialls ami on the edge of the pluills which sweep dowll to lludapest. 'This arnly. too. threatens the rear ot' tho Austro-Ger- mans wllo having entered Lupkow Pass to the East have suffered severe losses ill battle with another Russian force which was waiting for them there.
The hardest lighting. however, has
occurred ell the Galicia side of Tuk- holka Pass where, oil Sunday, the .-\ustro~Gernlalls captured heights in the region ol' Kosiouwka only to bc driven l'ronl them after a lnlyulll-t flght,wllich tilt- ltllssian report do- scribes as being without precedent In history. The battle is said to have
been terrific. up their best the Austriall
The Gt-rtlltuls brought reil\i`ol'cl-.lllcllts to alll tlrnll' and tllclnselvcs
led the attack. Backed by heavy art- illery they assaulted thc llussian pos- itioll on the heights ot Koziouwka lnlt 1| found themselves under tire from Rus- sians on tllo hills alld cnt oft l`rotn the lnaill German colllllltl. They were then attacked by Russian infantry wllo drove them bm-k ul lilo poillt of the bayonet. Attack followed collu- ter-attack until the Russians regained their old positions leaving the steep littered witll__bodies of dead Germans. Fighting here has been as lit-.sperate as that which occurred before the Warsaw lines during the last week atld, so far as can be judged by ofll- cial anti unofficial reports. has been just as unsllccessfltl for thc Gerlllalls. The latter have now llssllnlell the of- l'elll-livc on the Southern border of East Prllslsia ami ts a result another important battle is developing in that region. Of the battle ill thc Northern part. of East Prussia neither official communications speaks. At the other extreme emi of tht- line ill ilukowina the Russians are falling buck before superior Austrian i`orl~t-s but still hold- ing the greater part of that province.
