TRO TERE " yo Had San ro enough to make the Germans in their attack REST BATTLE IN CARPATHIANS). New Austro-German Forces Are Seeking to Block Russian Invasion, Ls A despatch from London says: The renewal of hostilities in Galicia makes the battle line from the Car- thians to the interior of East russia one of continuous activity. There has been fighting during the past few days at almost every part of the front, and the clash of offen- sive, particularly in. the Central Foland regions, has been severe. The battle in East Prussia, on the Malwischen - - Lasdehnen line . pro- without let-up, and on the Bzura-Rawka fields. the engage- ments have been carried on furi- ously. nterest centres in the Carpa- thians, where the Austro-Germans have brought up new armies to op- pose the Russian invasion of Hun- gary. According to announcements in Vienna they have recaptured some of the passes Which the Rus- sians were holding in strength. While naturally the Russians, like the other belligerents, do not relish iving up any ground gained, they declare that this is compensated by the fact that their aggressiveness has compelled the Austro-Germans to postpone the expedition which they were preparing with the object of crushing Serbia. Russia hopes that Roumania,: with her financial sition guaranteed by the recent an loan of $25,000,000, will soon send her army into the field and form the missing link between Russia and Serbia. A particularly violent conflict took place at Atlanka, two miles north 'of Sochaszew. In 30 minutes of the fighting at the start the Ger- mans lost 500 killed in taking a Rus- sian trench, from which they were driven later by a bayonet charge. The recent encounters have been favorable to the Russians, accord- ing to 'the official report of the gen- eral staff at Petrograd. A Russian officer who had charge of a battery of machine guns at At- lanka, in an interview sent from Petrograd, says that ' his detach- ment took their assigned. positions and lay waiting for the. Germans, whose trenches were 2,000 yards away on a slight elevation. At day- break the enemy's cavalry appear- ed, and rode to within 600 yards of the Russian positions, where they halted. At that moment the ma- chine guns broke into fire, and most of the German horsemen were killed. Half an hour later at least three regiments of German infantry ap- eared . over the hill and started nilding entrenchments. Before they had hardly begun the Rus: sians were out of their trenches and at them. Three volleys from the Russian foot soldiers preceded a eharge, which drove the ai back.
