Russian advance along th front from
Martfcld to Wry. This front run almost
due eaat and west for lit mile. Dartfeld j
Is In northern Hungary and "try In East
ern Osllcia to the south of Lemberg.
Attacks and counter attacks follow with
such rapidity that both sides may be
said to be taking the offenMve simul
taneously. The shocks are resulting In
ususually heavy casualties, with only a
slight change In tha comparative positions
of th opposing force.
Ussok, at th head of th pass of that
name, still remains In th possession of
th Austrian, but th Russians have
oaptured th heights to th northward,
coming within thre mil of th rail
road station, and their occupation of the
town Ksolf Is exrctd her. ' '
Coanter Move by Austrian.
Th Austrian ara successfully repeat
ing their efforts ' to penetrate from
Bukowlna Into Russian territory In the
direction of Chotln. The Ruaslnn4 char'
acterls this tnov as a device on the
part of th Austrlans to draw Russians
from th Carpathians. They assert that
th Austrlans have been unable to bring
up sufficient reinforcements to 'check
th Russian advance, and thai Hh only
alternate for th Austrlans Is to divert
part of th Russian : forces In other'
directions.'
To th north In th district of Prussian
frontier, there are no movements of first

British See Fight
At Neuve Chapelle
.Greatest Victory
(JENEIIAL. HEADQUARTERS OF THE
BRITISH ARMT IN FRANCE. Tuesday.
April 13 (V& Ixndon, April H.)-In the
trenches along the British front, sprawl
Ing from Tpres to Ia Bassee, officers
and men alike are still talking of the
battle of Neuve Chappcll. Th (officer
characterise this British victory as likely
to be recorded a the greatest local suc
cess of the war, and the privates hail tt
as vldenc that the German line can be
broken whenever their leader decldo this
must b done, and that the ground gulned
will outweigh th Inevitable loanea sus
tained.
The misgivings in England with regard
to th British losses at Neuve Chappelle
are hardly Justified In view of th ad
vance gained, In th opinion of staff
officers at the front. On officer ex
plaining today the atrateglo importance
of this dent In th German Una, saM the
Germans In st weeks more, had they
continued to hold Neuv Chappelle, thus
flanking the British on th north anJ the
atuth, wold have Inflicted losses equal
to those sustained by the attack! pn
that memorable March morrnng. - Thua
the British would In a short' time hava
loet Just as many jrien, the speaker. de
clared, Without the Physical and moral
advantage scored1 'the spurt forward.'
Th mild weather of spring 'prevails to
day along the battle line; and. the Britlah
private, the man from . Canada and th
fighter from India all feci very much
like a foot ball team, confident of its
ability to scorv against tha other side
whan th ground U a little drier. ,
The Germans In soma Instances ar now
using American mad shell. Several
fragments of shells have been picked up
within th British lines marked "R. Stock
tc Co., U. 8. A." Whether these ar re
cent acquisitions or old shells sent to
Germany from America long ago. Cannot
