TO CUT OFF RUSSIANS
LONDON, Jan. 28.—A great force of Austrians and
Germans is now concentrated in the Carpathian moun
tains and is fighting not only to stem the Russian advance
into Hungary but to cut off the Russian army which has
entered the province of Bukowina. The Austrians in their
official communication this morning claim to have cap
tured very important mountain passes which, the\ say,
place the Russians in serious predicament. There is no
confirmation here of the reported Austrian successes,;
however, anil the Russian authorities claim that matteiSj
are going well with them. Should the Teutons be success-;
fill in their further movements in the ( arpathians it is
conceded that the position of the Russians in Bukowina
might become so dangerous that a retirement may be
found necessary but at present there seems to be no
reason to believe that the Russians cannot prevent^ an\ j
such forward movement. The Austrians seem to be fight
ing with greater confidence and skill since they were
joined by the Germans and it appears as if for the moment
the Germans had decided to shift their main activities
further south than the positions where they had formerly
concentrated their chief energies west of Warsaw.

WAITING FOR ICE
ASMTERDAM, Jan. 28.—From German newspapers
it is learned that General Hindenburg has decided to wait
for the freezing of the roads, rivers and swamps before
making his general advance on Warsaw. The weather in
Poland is now getting colder and colder but for some time
it has been unusually mild. The German front opposite j
the city now runs almost in a straight line north and south
from Plock to Kielce which the Austrians occupied some
days ago. At least that was its position a week ago.
To* make this line straight it was necessary to occupy
Bolimow and Kielce and now that this lias been done the
Germans are apparently waiting until conditions aie
favorable for the general advance. Away to the noitheast
of Plock a strong German force holds Mlawa and the re
gion around it but it is fronted by at least an equally
strong force of Russians. I he intention ot the Germans •
is to advance from Mlawa in the effort to take the Rus-;
sians defending Warsaw on the right flank and try to
surround the capital. 1 he German newspapers claim that
the plans of Hindenburg are working out perfectly but
that time is required for the moving and maneuvering of
such tremendous hosts as those engaged in the titanic
struggle. The reports from Petrograd breathe the ut
mostcontidenco that the Gormans can never take Warsaw.

COLD STOPS AIR FLIGHTS
PARIS, Jan 28.—It is now generally well understood
that the activities of airmen have been curtailed by the
cold. Some of the aviators have been compelled to return
from attempted flights over the enemy because of the
severe cold experienced at any considerable height above
the earth. On the ground soldiers suffer severely from
the cold but rushing through the icy air at great altitudes
makes the suffering intense. In some cases fingers were
so benumbed that the machine could hardly be guided. It
i is thought that with the coming of fine weather air work
i will be carried on with tremendous energy and all the
belligerent nations are believed to be preparing on a huge
scale lor a great war of the air. _
