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/'

Conspiracy to Violate . Federal Acts.
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. A second dcfendant
is now awaiting sentence. In
two other jurisdictions, the depart
ment assisted in procuring the indictment
for conspiracy to violate the j Bfl
food and drug act of a number of egg
handlers who hnv?
_ iiic^aiiy amp- ! Ill
ping spoiled eggs in interstate com- $[
merce for food purposes.
In a number of other cases, especial JM
l v concerning drug matters and the ill
prevention of the sale of worthless tf-il
so-called curative devices, the depart- ligl
ment has cooperated with the Post
Office authorities in bringing actions ^
and securing convictions for viola- -vl
tions of the postal laws involving misuse
of the mails.
