INVADE HUNGARY | BY TWO VALLEYS Russians Following the Theiss and the Ung Rivers SNOW IMPEDES THE ARMIES Operations Slow nd Results of Restricted Si^nif :ance. According to dispatches the Russians are marching into Hungary by the valleys of the Theiss and Ung rivers. Taking the offensive at Karosmczo, they are said to have inflicted severe losses on the Austrians and ad vanced five miles in the direction of Borkul, in the Lyutta valley. They also progressed southward as far as Turja-Remute and Perecseny, on the railroad from Turja ai Ungstar, capturing two batteries imbedded in the mud in the Polonina-Uuna mountain. Hampered by Heavy Snow. "Deep snow lies in the Carpathians and troops movements are eorhned to the vailey paths. These marches avo slow, and deployment for battle is extremely difficult. The Russians are pressing with very considerable forces against Dukia pass and continually are bringing up new troops there. "un the rest of the long front the Russians are in excellently fortified positions. Under these circumstances the operations of the Austro-German troops are slowed up in spite of their greatest efforts. Successes achieved in turn by both sides have only local significance." Great Military Campaign. The Russian general staff has given out this official statement: "The Germans who gradually had been concentrating in East Prussia with fresh troops, began a series of energetic reeonnaisances, and on February 7 they opened offensive operations with considerable forces in the district between Horzele and Johannisburg. They undertook at the same time active operations on both wings of their front in East Prussia. In the vicinity of Lasdehnen, to the east of Tilsit, we drove back a German attack and succeeded in almost completely annihilating one of the German battalions opposed to us. Follow ing this encounter our cavalry moved forward in direction of Sierpic, traveling over the road to Rypin. "On the left bank of the Vistula during the day of February 8, the enemy showed no signs of activity. "Judging from the corpses abandoned by the Germans in front of our positions they would appear to have lost in dead and wounded several tens of thousands of men in the six days' fighting in front of Borjimow, Goumine and Wola Szydelowieeka. "In the Carpathians fighting continues in the vicinity of Barthold and Svidnik. The enemy here undertook active operations but they did not thus continue and they finally retired, leaving prisoners in our hands. In the vicinity of Mount Loupkow we continued our pursuit of the enemy and 1 n rtyin /"In IT UTrv m/\/1 P. C\ ^ fTi ^ P \n viatv v> ^ 4 LUX CU UJ7 UlllCd'&f Uj* 200 men and 18 machine guns. "German columns maving made their way over the Tukholka pass, delivered during the day of February 7 no fewer than twenty-two violent attacks upon certain heights in the region of Koziouska, occupied by us. The Germans came forward several ranks deep, presenting a full front line. "Under our violent cross-fire the Germans here twice took possession of a certain height but they were dislodg ed by counter attacks by our infantry. This success was preceded by long and violent hand to hand fighting with bayonet which is without precedent in history. The losses sustained in this engagement by the Germans were exceedingly heavy. "Attacks of the enemy in the vicinity of Wyschkowo also were repulsed. "In the Black sea the former German cruiser Breslau (now a unit of the Turkish navy) bombarded Yalta *u _ /-v? ? ? ti> vut; \yi iimii. wur cruisers or. F ebruary 8 shelled a Turkish battery at Trebizond and sunk one steamer. Another steamer loaded with provisions and a two masted schooner were sunk near Leros." "In order to attack our positions near Koziouwka, the Germans commenced their concentration of troops the night of February 7. Early the next morning they began the delivery of irresistible offensive movements and their attack was supported by a very violent fire from their heavy artillery. They were successful in gaining an important height occupied by us but they were promptly driven from the position before our bayonets "Attacks then followed without let up. Toward evening the Germans in increased numbers took possession of the highest position in our line, from which they were dislodged only after a desperate fight. Before retiring they exhausted all their strength in a stub bom resistance to ? general counter attack on our party ture of which was an unprecedented encounter with the bayonet. 44AU the side of thi* hill was covered by German corpses. In front of one of our battalions more than 1,000 Gcr man dead were counted. 44Among the trophies cipturcd near Kamion are three mine throwers. At Rawka near the rail read to Skicrniewice, Russian forces threw eight bombs into German trenches, causing great destruction. 44Russian aviators threw bombs on German troop trains near Rawka. 44Thc general stalf of the army in the Caucasus communicates under the date of February 8 that there has been no engagement of importance/' LUTS AND MORE LOTS For Sale by HORRY BROKERAGE, & COMMISSION CO.

Conspiracy on the part of two or 19 more people to violate the food and j 1 drugs act and other Federal statutes , .fjl has recently brought heavy fines, coupled with loss of citizenship, to m certain dealers. In a certain case, the IB department has lately cooperated with 9 another Federal department in bring- -M ing a criminal action and in helping to ;-jL secure the conviction of a prominent ||( coffee merchant and a shipping agent JE;' for conspiracy to violate the food and drugs act, involving the shipment of L I coffee in interstate commerce from jjr I New York to the West. In these cas- "1 es the two defendants were each fined I $.'1,000 and by reason of their convie- ; I tion of a felony lost their citizenship I under the provisions of a New York I statute. In another action in cooperation \ I with the Customs Service, the depart- jl 1 ment was of assistance in the pro- \| ceedings that resulted in the imposi- I tion of a fine of $5,000 in the Massa- y&J chusetts Federal Court on one defend .9 ant engaged in tampering with reve- I nue import stamps and selling domes- b,I tic liquors as imported.
