Russians Have lliade Decislvc Gains at llli Points

' (Special to The Guardian) LONi.lON, Feb, 11.-Battle is tol-

1nw'ing battle on the Eastern frontier where llussia, single handed, is fight ing the forces of Germany, Austria and Turkey. The Itussians have held their lines against Field Marshal Von lllndenburg's army which attetnpted last week to break through to War saw and apparently have checked thi-.I Anstro-German offensive in tlte (lar-, pathians. 'l‘hcy are ttow called on to defend positions they have won in East Prussia and Northern roland. The Germans are transferring men and guns by railways and have as- sumed the offensive on the East Prus- sian border and on the right bank of the Lower Vistula where the advance has brottght them into the district of Slerpre which the Russians occupied a short time ago. lt is impossible to

say yet whether the next big battl

will take place in tltis district or i East Prussia as the Graitd Duke N

cholus has not disclosed ltis intett-

tions. lie may strike betweett Tisi and lnsterburg in East Prussia or threaten to cut. Vott llitidenburg's cont~ tttitiiicatiotis with Thorn by ti. move- tnent iilottg the Lower Visiuia. No further change is noted in the Carpa- thiann but thc /\ustrlttn‘s oillciiil rc- pori, which complaitis of obstacles ol' ` snow attd strong presstirc of ltussiaits and suggests that the offetisive has at least partially failed.

While the Austro-(lertnit.| force in

the Eastern part of the range scents to have been strong enough to coiiipcl the ltusslans to retire frotn llukow- itttt, the Russians appeal' after the tit-ree battle of Sunday last to have

almost contpiete command of tiiiddio and western portions of the tttoun- talns.

Except for somewhat more severe

engitgeinetits than usual in Argonne and another in Alsace, in whicli the Gertuans cluim success-ultitouglt the l<`rench say they have regained the groitnd temporarily given up-calm coiititiues along the western i'rotit. in ilic meantime the powers engaged in the struggle are putting their lioiises in order for the continuation of tlte war, The German Emperor has re- turned from the casterti front to Bor- iiti to confer with his generals, includ- ing Von Motkle, who was retired after the first. stages of the war.

l~‘in:inclui experts in Berlin are rc-

portcd to he arranging for the flotation of another internal loan of $i,250,00i),- 000.

The Guardian had it pleasant. inter-

view last night with Mr. George Bun- taiti, son of Mr. li. V. liuiitaln, of this city, on his return from liavrc, whi ther he itccontpaiiied the liiorwenna with Prince Edward lsland`s gift of oats for the army. Mr. Ilarry McLean. son of Iloti. Johti Mt~l.ean. SOUFTS. W\\0 was supereargo, was Mr. lluntain's companion on the trip, which. to both young uien was ati exceeditigiy inter- esting one.

They left Cliarlottetown on Dccetit-

bcr 12, and on the mortiitig of Christ- tttas Day arrived oil' liavrc, i<‘riiitcc. after it pleasant and iineveniful voy- age. it took ten days to cross to l-iuvrc frotn Sydney, where they were delayed two days. ln the Enslhllt (‘liannel the Morwenna was stopped by a British cruiser which, having been satisfied as regards the bona tides of the steamer, allowed her to proceed. The port of Havre was fairly filled with shipping, consisting largely of British transports. They were about fotir days in Havre before they could uitload their cargo. The most inter- esting feature of thc sights in llavre was tite constant stream of British troops landing and the almost con- stant streant also of wounded being taken across to England in l-lospital ships. They remained some ten days in Havre and had an opportutilty of conversing with a number of wounded. Many of the wounded had been in the historic retreat from Mons atid their description of the hardships they cn- dureil was truly pitiful. They walked

guard fight througiiout the whole gruelling trip.

From Havre they went to Dart-

mouth for coal. They had intended going to Cardiff, bitt on account of the number of transports there it would have meant too great a delay in coaling. After seine days in Ports- ntoutlt the Morwetttta started on llcl' return to Canada, and Messrs. Biin~ tain and McLean proceeded to Lon- don, where they stuyeil for a few days enjoying thc sights. They tiexl cross- ed over to Fraticc, going to Lo 'l`oit- quet, where they visited tho t‘ati:iiiiati lint-ipltal. Tiicre thcy saw t‘apt. .lunies Walker atid Mr. \\'m. liughcs and llliss McLean. Three days were spent at, Le Touquet, and the party, now joined by Miss Mclican, returned to London. After a couple of days in the great city Miss McLean, accotnpt-micd by her brother, went back to Lt- Tou- qiiet.

While they were nt Le Totutuei the

‘island visitors witnessed the descent of a British aviator who had gone up fi'om the firing line, intending to drop bombs on Osiend. lie became lost in the t'og, was up in tho air three hours, and seoing a large camp with the Brit- ish fiag flying over it, ite decided to alight, this camp being near the hos- pital.

Messrs. McLean and Buniaiti were

on the other side at the time t.hc Ger- man raid was tuade against the Brit- ish coast towns. Souvenirs of this raid are being distributed througliout _England in tltc shape of broken china. caps worn by thc coast guards, etc.. etc. They also saw Gertnati guns which had been captured early in the _war and a tattered Red i‘ross flag which had been tired at by the citcttiy.

Mr. iiuntuin brought buck a iiiinibcr

of souvenirs frotn the front in the forln of German bullets, coins. etc. These are still in his triitik on board the Morwennu, witiclt is ttow in ilnil- fax.

Another interesting sotivciilr which

Mr. Buntain has lti his possession is a passport secured from the Foreign ‘Office in Lotidon, enabling him to tra- vel in France, bitt lt was not valid for the zone of the armies.

Messrs. McLean and Buniain left

England for home on the Allan liner l-lesperian, Site sailed from Liver- pool on January 29th, and reached Halifax last Monday afternoon. They had a good trip over, fine weather, with the exception of two days. bitt had to slow down for a while owing to heavy fog. They passed a number of icebergs and several ships on the voyage back. Owing to thc ice around Cape Race they had io go a considerable distance out oi their course.

The Govertittictit. has already appoint- ed a Parliamentary ifomtnittee to ln- V0BllEate this matter. and Premier Aaquith explained to the House the result of thc inquiry thus far inode and outlined certain proposed steps dealing witii urgent tiecessities which arc cuiisitig much hardship on the poor. The l’retnier admitted a for- midable rise in the cost of necegggrigg of life, but he contended that prices were substantially below the level which the best ittforttied judgment of the country would have anticipated at the end of a six months war, involving actually the whole civilised world with the exception of tlte United States.
