(via Petrograd and London)--The Rus- sians appear to have accomplished the difficult feat of throwing an army through the Carpathian mountains southwest of Lemberg, Fighting in the Carpathians has been most fero- cious, being carried on under ex- traordinary difficulties, which were increased by the severe cold, the bit- tor winds and occasional snowstorms. Reports received here say that in their operations against the Aus- trians the Russians have won import- ant success during the interrupted fighting for the last two days. Austrian officers who have been cap- tured say that they never considered the possibility that the Carpathians would be crossed at this time of the year with such a degree of success as the Russians are reported to have attained. The assertion is e by Russian officers that the Auktrians are not in a position to defend * Ga- licia. The army which crossed the mountains, they say, found a dis- tracted population suffering from hun- ger and. privation.
