Jan. 23 A complete change i In the eastern campaign, such as would : mark a new perioa of the war, is ex ; pected by officers of the Kussian gen eral staff. They say that the German i and Austrian military chiefs have aban i doned aggressive movements against ! Warsaw, and are concentrating troops " In Hungary to repel the Russian in ivaders in Bukowina, Eastern Gallcla 1 and Northern Hungary. -i It Is In this section, rather than on i the Warsaw front, that the heavy flght- lng of the next few weeks is looked for In Petrograd. The new German plan Is thought to 1 have been elaborated at a recent meet .' lng of Austrian and German staff offl ' cers at Breslau. Kussian military oftt ! cials say the Austrians have failed in theler allotted task of stemming the ; Russian invasion, and that the Germans : have awakened to the seriousness of : the situation and consequently have : adopted the new plan. The Russian official report issued at ' Petrograd today said: ' "On the right bank of the Lower vis- tula our troops, which are in touch J with the enemy, hud small skirmishes 5 at certain points. "The German attempts to assume a partial offensive were easily stopped by our fire. ' "In Bukowina the concentration of Austrian forces toward the passages has become stronger. The 21st, a hos tile force, including an infantry dlvl-. 'sion with artillery, attacked our front In the region of Kirlibaba, but was repulsed. Up to the morning of Janu ary 21, our troops were holding their positions. We captured during this lighting 200 prisoners. "In the passages of the Carpathian Mountains a violent snow storm is raging." Russians Advance Siear Flock. . "In the Plock region, in Northern Toland, the Russians are contluing their notable advance .from Skempe -toward Lipno," says a Petrograd dispatch to Reuter's Telegram Company. "In the Caucasus, military movements -are temporarily halted by the necessity ' of burying the Turkish dead, which are 'strewn in the mountains and valleys near Sari Kamysh, to such a degree that an epidemic is feared. "The Russian authorities have launched a scheme for occupying the "time of the wounded in hospitals by teaching them trades, while those who 'are illiterate are being taught to read and write. A Berlin dispatch says it is officially announced there that the Russian rah ' way station near Chenchiny, about 10 " miles southwest of Kieloie. Southern " Poland, which the Austrians destroyed by a single heavy shell, was filled with Russian troops at the time, all of whom ' were killed. German Attacks Progress. "In Northern Poland, near Przasnysx, ' an unimportant attack' made by the 'Russians was repulsed. The Russians 'have been driven out of Blinno.and -Bojak and the advanced Russian di visions have been forced to retreat from Gorny. Our attacks on the Sancna Sector are progressing. In the vicinity of the Rawka River, to the west of Szencihy, a lively cannonade Is taking place." The Paris Temps prints the follow ing from Petrograd: "Germany, In a note to Roumania. 'declares that the measures undertaken by the latter country, which are tanta I mount to mobilization orders, and its encouragement of n revolutionary ' propaganda in Transylvania, are hostile 'acts.'

Dr. Tcyokichl Iyenaga, former professor of political .t rhinasro and Columbia uni versities, declared today in an address before the Japan Society nere u retention of Kiau-Chau by Japan would not be a violation of China's In tegrity, inasmuch as Kiau-Chau had been leased to Germany for 99 years and was, therefore, not a part of China. "Before Japan landed her troops at Lungkow,'; he said, "the Germans in Kiau-Chau had been taking military measures in the Shantung Province, far beyond the one within which ChJ na" asked Germany and Japan to limit their operations. It would then have been suicidal for japan to confine her military actions within the so-called war zone. Some impute to Japan the violation of the people of China's ter ritorial integrity, should she retain Kiau-Chau after the -war. I cannot agree with such a construction. "Of course, we can not foretell what final agreement will be made between China and Japan about Kiau-Chau. This much, however.Ms certain if the allies finally win, Japan will have proper claims to make for the blood and treasure expended for the capture of Kiau-Chau and in running the great risk of having or our iuu n. formidable as Germany.
