LONDON. Feb. 10.-The Russian
and Austro-Germ?n armies are fight
ing another Heriea of battles for pos
session of the snow-covered Carpa
, thian passes to decide whether th?
Ru-riaiis will commence another in
vadion of Hungary or, eva cm te part of
? Galicia, ns they have evacuated Buko
wina.
Thc Russians have issued two ofll
? cial reports of the operations, claim
ing the better of the fighting. Their
right wing has crossed the mountain.
und has been engaged in a battle near
..Bartfeld and Svidnik, on the Hup-j
garlan 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-Qcrmans, who, having
entered I.upkow Pass lo the east, have
suffered'severe, losses in a battle with ]
anotiier Russian: force. .
. ^.AlhcvhsrdesC fight lng has. occurred
oil tho" Ga I ic lan side of Tukholha.PaBS,
-' where, Sunday the Austro-Germana
"captured the heights in the region of
Kozlouwka. only to be driven back
after a bayonet fight, which the Rus
sian report describes as being "with
out precedent in history."
Correspondents say this battle was,'(
terr?ilc. The Germans brought
tack. Backed by heavy' arURe^, QA*1' 1
assaulted the r ussian 'position on the J
Koxiouwku. heights, but found them
selves, under ap enfilading fire from i
.the Russians on parallel hills and ! i
were cut off . from the.-main; GeTm^n I
column. The Russian- infantry tuen ?
attacked, driving them-back f'at the 1
point of the bayonet. i
Attar k ?.iniArd counter attack un
til the Russians had regained their old i
positions, '.caving the 3'jpes, accord- <
lng to their report, "littered with bod- 1
les of dead Germans." 1
Tlie fighting here-', seems to have
been as desperate and sanguinary as
that before tho Warsaw lines during
the last week and so far as can be
judged hy official and unpfficlal re
ports lias been just as unsuccessful
for tho Germans. The Germans now
I'?ve ' assumed Hie offensive on thc
. southern border ?nf East Prussia and
us a result another important battle
\s developing in that region.. Of the
battle tn tho northerh part of Bast

speaks.

U. S. GOVERNMENT MAKES
FRIENDLY OBSERVATIONS
I ON USE OF FLAG
I ALSO ADDRESSES
ONE T*? (GERMANY
Ask? What Step? Witt Be Taken
by. Commanders to Verify
Identity of Ships.
<T)y Associated I* rr ss.)
WASHINGTON. Fob.. 10.-The UMt
? ed States government today ?ent a
nofo to Great Britain making friendly
observations; on tho usc * y British
I ships of neutral flagB and at the same
tune dispatched a communication to
Germany, inquiring' what steps would
bc taken by.-German naval command?
ers to verify the identity of ships fly-,
lng neutral fiag3 in the recently pro-!
claimed zones of war around England
and Ireland.
While thc Lusitania incident ls not
-uentionpu. the representations ? to
! Great Britain are based on the state- j
I ment of the British foreign office
justifying thc usc of neutral flags by
her merchantmen to escape, capture.
The American government points out
that frequent and continued use of :
this stratagem might cast doubt on
the character of vessels really op
tltled to fly .tho American Qa*, Md'
prod ur^ ?siuget
i ships ought not bc subjected
high seas and io unblockaded gaters.
In the note to Gernu.ny it i ? under
stood the tlntted States asked how the
German' admiralty proposed to carry
out in practice its recent tproclsros
tlon of a war on merchant ship3 and
its warning that on account of the
misuse of the neutral flags by belli
gerent vessels, neutra! ships could not
always be distinguished. The United.
States had made it clear,'lt is un
dortood, that an a'.iacK on a vasse!
flying thc American flag without first i
ascertaining definitely that such use]
was fictitious would bring about ser
ious' complications.
The United States has not fully ex
pressed Itself on the Gorman pro
pitiation, however, confining itself;
for thc present to an inqury for in
formation. The communication mere-1
ly seeks' tp learn more definitely what
hazards an American ship might be
confronted with lt passing through
tho newly prescribed sea -senna, and
what steps'will be taken by thc Ger
man navy tu give unrestricted passage
to American vessels traveling through
these waters.
'.Roth notes are brief and friendly.
Neither makes a protest, but each
points out how recent development? ?
may seriously embarrass neutral
ships.
Secretary Bryan declined to discuss
either communication.
President Wilson has -pointed out,]
there is no Litcrnatior.nl law against I
thc u.?"? jr a neutral flag by a belli
gerent vessel and thc ruse often is j
resorted to in time of war. Neverthe
less-lt was regarded as proper in tho]
circumstances to make representa
tions on the dangers to neutrals which
might ensue from flag changas during j
a voyage of a belligerent ship.
Officials here generally expect Hut
Great Britain and Germany will re
assure the United States to thr safe
ty of Its v?asele.' "None of the high of
ficiai? anticipated thc development of 1
