A despatch from Petrograd says: Air reconnaissances have establish- ed the fact that the Austrians have withdrawn altogether from Lup-| kow Pass in the Carpathians, and the Russians are now in u occupation. There are signs also that the Austro-German armies are availing themselves of the drench- ed mountain roads to draw back into Hungary the strongest column containing the main German force. This is slowly. changing ite position south of Beskidas and Koziome. It is expected that in accordance with' the Budapest-Berlin compact the Magyars and Germans will now prepare a stubborn defensive cam- paign for the plains of Hungary. Large calibre guns have been brought to the Austro-German po- sition at Yuz, where the cannonade is intensifying, with occasional fierce infantry fighting. p The strong Russian. threat inside the border of East Prussia in the direction of Tilsit has had the de- sired effect of hastening Gen. von Eichhorn's retreat from. Suwalki. The shooting of the new German infantry is utterly inadequate. The young prisoners admit that they had 'had no musketry, training un- til they entered their first battle. .
