Berlin Reports That a Great Ger man Victory is Looked For in Poland. CHir Assodntot] PrriuO LONDON', Feb. 10.?Ti.o Russian anil Austro-German armies are fight ing another aeries of battles for pos session of the snow-covered Carpa thian passes to decide whether the Russians will commence another in vasion of Hungary or evacuate part of Gal Ida, as they huvc evacuated Buko wina. The Russians have issued two offi cial reports of the operutious, claim ing the better of the fighting. Their right wing has crossed the mountains nnd has been engaged in a battlo near Bartfeld and Svldnik, op the Hun garian side of the Carpathians and on the ?edge of the plains which sweep down to Buda Pest. This army, too, threatens the rear of the Austro-Germans, who, having entered Lttpkow Pass to the east, have suffered severe losses in a battle with another Russian force. The hardest fighting has-occurred on the Gallcian side of Tukholka Pass,' where Sunday the Austro-Germans capturod the heights in the region of Koziouwko, only to be driven back after a bayonet fight. Which the Rus sian reDort describes as being "with out precedent in history." Correspondents' say this battle was terrrfft. The Germans brought up their best; reinforcements-'to^HSId" the Austriuns, and themselves led the at tach*. Racked by heavy arfitlery. they assaulted the Russian position oh the Koziouwka heights, but found them-' selves under, an enfilading tire from the Russians on parallel "h?ls and were cut off from the main German column. The Kassian Infantry then attacked, driving them back at the point of the bayonet. ' ; ' Attack followed counter* attack un til the Russians had regained their old positions, leaving the elopes, accord ing to their report, "littered with bod ies of dead Germans." The fighting hers seems to have been ns desperate and sanguinary as that before the Warsaw lines during the last week and so far as can be judged by official and unofficial re ports lias been just as unsuccessful for the Germans. The Germans now have assumed the offensive on the southern border of' East Prussia and as a result another important battle is developing In that region. Of the battle in \he northern part of East Prussia nether official.communication speaks.

MORE WORK FOR SUFFRAGETTES Freak Bill Introduced by the "Irfsan Men" in Kansas Leg islature. (By A.vwinted Tn-fw.l WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. The t'nit ed States government todny sent a note to Great Britain making friendly observations on the use by Prltidh ships of neutral flags and ut the same time dispatched a communication 10 Germany, inquiring what steps would be taken by German naval command era to veriry the Identity of ships fly ing neutral flags in the recently pro claimed zones of war around England and Ireland. While the Lusilanla Incident is not mentioned, the representations to Great 1 tri tain are based on the state ment of the British foreign office justifying the use of neutral Hags by her merchantmen to escape capture. The Americun government points out thai frequent und continued use of this strategem might cast doubt on the character of vessels^really en titled to fly the American flag, and produw. ?lasi^ir^to-^hlcii.. lu-utrai ships ought hot be subjected on the high seas and iu unblorkaded waters. In the note to Germany it la under stood the United States asked how the German admiralty proposed to carry out In practice Us recent proclama tion of a war on merchant ships and ils warning that on account of the misuse of the neutral flags by belli gerent vessels, neutral ships could not always be distinguished. Tho United States had made It clear, it Is un derload, thut an attack ou a vessel flying the American flag without first ascertaining definitely that such use was fictitious would bring about ser ious complications. The United States has not fully ex pressed itself on the German pro clamation, however, confining itself for the present to an Imjury for in formation. The communication mere ly seeks to learn more definitely what hazards an American ship might be confronted with if passing through the newly prescribed sea zones, und what steps will be taken by the Gor man navy to give unrestricted passage to American vessels traveling through these waters. Both notes are brief and friendly. Neither makes a protest, but each points out how recent developments may seriously embarrass neutral ships. Secretory Bryan declined to discuss either communication. President WHboh has pointed out there Is no international lav.- against the use af a neutral flag by a belli gerent vessel and the ruse often is resorted to in time'of war. Neverthe less it was regarded as proper In the circumstances to make representa tions on the dangers to neutrals which might ensue from flag changea during a voyage of a belligerent ship. Officials here generally expect that Great Britain and Germany will re assure the United States to the safe ty of its vessels. None of the high of ficials anticipated the development v>f anv critical situation. Representative Browning or New Jersey, read 'o the house today a letter from Charles S. Braddock.

Debate had l?ntru 54 hours ami 11 minutes. This made more uncertain than ever the fate of the bill which the admin istration bus pressed so urgently on congress. Many members of both houses conceded tonight that an ex tra .session seemed Inevitable. There were some, however, who still hoped there yet might be time to dispose of appropriation bills and the ship pur chase measure In some form before March 4. Adjournment tonight came on a mo tion made by Senator O'Qorman, car ried 48 to 4?, after Senator Morris, de ploring tho filibuster, bad proclaimed his conclusion that opponents of tho bill could filibuster It to death.
