GKRMAN8 BRGIKr BVOORHHFl'Ii OF FKNHIVK IN EA8T PR188IA. RUSSIAN LINE BOLDING Petrugrad Reporta ActirUjr of Ger man Trops in Kaat I’rnMia Wher« They Have Gathered in Consider' able Force—f’ilrpatlilan Battles Con^inne. A strong German movement has begun in East Prussia Vhere large German forces have been concentrat ed. Contemporandoufiiy. th* Russians are retiring from the Mpiurlan lake districTto their frontier. Petrograd reports Thursday: . “It has been deflntteiy. established that ^h^ Germans are qdncentratlng very great, forces in East Prussia. These forces have Started an offeasive, which they are developing, especially in the direction of VVilkowyszkt (north of Aughstowo) and Lyck. The presence is reported of units compos ed of ne\*r recruits from central Ger many." Berlin reports: "On the East Prus sian frontier engagements were con tinued wljh results which wece alto gether satisfactory to us, although deep snow hindered the movement of our troops. The results of these en gagements can not yet be seen. Petrograd reports: In the opinion military experts here Russia has finally established superiority as a fighting power over Germany and the turning point of the war on the Rus sian side has now been reached. While the German soldiers and minor commands continue to fight with a courage and determination that are almost ^perhuman, it Is evi dent to those who\are In position to know all that must be known before a trustworthy opinion , can be formed that the German plans have gone to pieces. The bottom has fallen out, of the campaign against Russia, and ail that the Germans are now seeking to ac complish is to cover the failure pf their strategic plan, or possibly the absence of any adequate plan, by frantic rushes at frightful cost in er«yrg direction. J The steady forward movement of the Russians In East Prussia, their great advance over the lower Vistula, their advance along the lower Vis tula on the left bank, he defeat of the German divisions in the Carpa thians. all occurring simultaneously, are an indication unmistakable to the soldier’s eye. It is believed here that political necessities broke up the pnity of the German plans for this war; but po litical necessities are factors in every war and are only found inimical to the strategy of the losing side. The really great strategist makes allies of these political factors, which are al ways present In every war Russia's successes are In no small degree due to this fact. Orank Duke Nicholas from the out set of the war based his strategy scheme upon Importance In every sense of Galicia. Whether advancing or retreating, marching or fighting, the Grand Duke has never lost his grip on that strategic scheme. It is now being put into execution In the Carpathians. The Germans sent thither three army corps to sttken the Austro-Hun garian main attack, but the Germans, if they bore the brunt of the fighting likewise suffered the worst defeat. In the battle north of the Tukholka Pass the Russians were distinctly in ferior on numbers to the Germans. Unquestionably Russia has many more men under arms than Germany, but she can not dodge them abobt from front to front as the German commanders do. In the fighting line the Russians have no superiority in numbers and in many memorable bat tles they have been largely in the minority. The Grand Duke's numbers are mostly standing ready for use when the proper moment' comes. In the actual fighting no more men are em ployed than is necessary to effect the purpose of the moment, and those men are not wantonly wasted, but the Russians, unprovided with a close network of strategic railways special ly designed in every way for military purposes, must have numbers to hold all points of their 700-mile front. The Germans have hammered at every link in that chain and broken none. It has cost them three-quar ters of a million men to learn that the Russians are fighting men of the best stamp. From ttie dimensions of the battles in the Carpathians and their rapid sequence it is believed that the deci sive moment of the southern cam paign is very near. This view is strengthened by the hurried redistri bution of the German forces in Hun- guary, which number about 300,000. They are attempting the task of capturing the initiative in some se lected openings toward the north, while the Austrians maintain a pas sive defense in huge numbers in the better known passes, especially those westward of the region where the fighting has been heaviest. llie German offensive has already been crippled by their appalling losses in men both along the Rawka and Bzura last week and in the fierce struggle for the heights commanding the Tukholka Pass, which opens into the Stryl Valley In Eastern Galicia. Both these failures following in 1m mediate succession leave them with the bitter consciousness that an ab solute want of men Is ruining their cotnpalgn. Berlin reports: Important develop ments In the East are generally ex pected at an early date. Rumora have been repeatedly circulated from ttme to time la--tb« last few weeks that the hoar of x big-victory was at hand, without, however, materlal!*- tag lato fact. There la reason to believe that the are bow la sufficient {free to attempt a decisive stroke at a ohosen point. Major Moraht, the military critic of the Tageblatt, who is virtually the only Berlin critic to venture an in dependent verdict en the military situation, speaks of “an impending decisive battle'* in the east. He ex pects that an.attempt will be made to break the Russian lines and cross the Vistula, and discusses the po* sible length of time Warsaw will bold out after that, although it Is not clear that the German commanders lay de cisive weight on the immediate pos session of the city and fortress. In case of success, Che Austrian military representative is quite confident that Przemysl will soon bfe relieved for a second time. It is known that the German fofces in East Prussia and north of tlie 7 Vls- tula, which' for months have been content to remain on a strategic de fensive , have been considerably strengthened, and that a fairly gen eral engagement Is now In progress. Field Marshall von Hlndenberg 1 re ports that this engagement Is "pro gressing normally," a phrase strong ly reminiscent of the bulletin which appeared Just before the announce ment of a general Russian defeat on December 17. Petrograd reports: The Austro- Geyman army, amounting probably to 400,000 men, is moving eastward of Nadvornay, in a broken country, to wards the Bukowina frontier, pre sumably with the object of attempt ing to envelop the Russian left wing The retirement of the Russian col umn from Kimpolung followed upon the Austrian occupation of Kirllbaba, which made the position at Jakoben untenable. This covers the only prac ticable access to the Kimpolung Pass The operktions there must evidently wait on decisive results In the East ern Carpathians. The Germans, who gradually had been concentrating in East Prussia with fresh troops, began a series of energetic reconnoissances, and on February 7 they opened offensive operations on both wings of their front In East Prussia. In the vicinity of Dasdehnen, to the east of TJIsit, we drove back a German attack and succeeded in almost completely anni hilating one of Wie German battalions opposed to us. Following this en counter our cavalry moved forward in the direction of Sierpo, traveling ^ver the road to Rypin. Judging from the corpses aban doned by the Germans in front of our positions, they would appear to have tens of thousands of men in the six dost In dead and wounded several days’ fighting in front of Uorjimow, Ootimine. and Wola (Szydlowiecka). InMhe Carpathians the fighting continues In the vicinity of Rartfleld and Svfdhlk. The enemy here under took active operations, but they did not continue, and they retired leaving prisoners in our hands. In the vicin ity of Mount Loupkow we continued our pursuit of the enemy, and in one day we captured sixty-nine officers. &.00 men and eighteen machine guoe German columns. Raving made their way over the Tukhplka Pans, delivered during the day orFebrhary 7 no fewer than twenty-two violent attacks upon certain heights In the region of Koilouwka. occupied by ns The Germans came forward to this attack several ranks deep, presenting* a full front line. Uunder our violent cross-fire the Germans here twice took possession of a certain height, but they were dislodged by counter-attacks deliver ed by our infantry. This success was preceded by long and violent hand-to- hand fighting with the bayonet, which is without precodeat in his tory All the side of this hill was covefed by German corpses. In front of one of our battalions more than 1,000 German dead were counted. London reports: "In Poland and the Carpathians the battle* which have been under way for weeks are progressing but various official re ports lack details. “The AustHans still claim advances In the Carpathian mountains and re port Russian repulses. In the West, particularly in the Argonne and the Vosges, there have been German attacks on the allied lines, and Nleuport and the district along the Yser has been heavily bom barded." LIST OF NOMINATIONS IN THE PEOPLE’S BIG CONTEST w + m "■ , Read This List Carefully—Then .Help Your Favorite to Win the Free Trip to San i - Francisco and-Return TO SEND NOTES. Government Intends to Communicate Willi England and Germany. Drafts of notes to Great Britain and Germany—one relative to the use of jthe American flag by the Brit ish liner Lusitania and the other con cerning the attitude of the German navy toward neutral vessels in the newly prescribed sea zones of war— were given personal consideration by President Wilson Tuesday, after con ferences with Secretary Bryan and- cabinet members. It is understood that no protest against any violation of international law is to be directed to either coun try. The administration view of the Lusitania’s hoisting of the American flag is that it is a customary war ruse. But at the same time representations pointing out that neutral commerce might suffer through continued prac tice of the stratagem were deemed advisable. As for the German proclamation that it may be difficult to determine the character of a vessel in the war zones because of misuse of neutral flags, the United States intends to ask for more Information as to meth ods by which the iprder will be car ried out. It ylH point out that it expects every effort to be made to verify Ihe nature of ships flying neutral ags. assuming that due respect for the safety of Americans will be given.

Republicans and Democratic insur gents fighting the ship bill, with the aid of Senators Norris and Kenyon, Progressive Republicans, who have supported the measure, foreqd* the Senate to adjourn Wednesday'tiight after the longest continuous session in its history. Debate had lasted fifty-four hours and eleven minutes. Adjournment came on a motion made by'‘Senator O’Gorman, carried 48 to 46, after Senator Norris, de ploring the filibuster, had proclaimed his conclusion that opponents of the bill could filibuster it to death. "I am not finding fault with sena tors,’’ he said, "for doing what under the rules they have a perfect right to do. But these filibusters are in creasing. It is unfortunate that we can not decide any great issue with out a test of physical strength. It is a relic of barbarism. “We stay here night after night," he said, “and are dragged out of our beds to answer a roll call when there are three or four senators in the chamber. It is ludicrous, it is (polish. This flood of talk has no object but to kill time, and kill thff members.
