I'ETKOOIIAO, Nov. 19, via Lon don, IMS p. m. The German ad vance In considerable force along the narrow battle front on the west bank of the Itlvor Vistula Is regarded by Russian military observers as a feint at the city of Warsaw, tho Intention of which Is to draw Hussion troops from their advance upon Cracow, and distract attention from the efforts of the Germans to establish a strongly fortified defensive line from Kallsz to Cracow. This plan also In calculated by the military authorities to relieve the German troops In East Prussia now giving way along the entire line by rendering a Russian further advance untenable. Despite this German demonstration, the converging lines of tho Russian advance on tho .Aus trian fortress ot Cracow are steadily progressing, tho Russians say, hav ing now reached within 25 miles of that point. Tito Austrlans arc stubbornly con testing the Russian offensive and are taking advantago of every creek and hillock In any way avallablo for de fense, but tho Russian columns In South Poland already have traversed the last river between them and tho fortress of Cracow. The Russian troops form two fronts, one facing Cracow and the other facing tho Carpathian moun tains where yesterday they re-occu-pled the approaches to two of the most important passes Into Hungary.

LONDON, Nov. 19. Germany's now attack on the Russian army la tbo center of the eastern battle line stood out conspicuously today as or chief Immediate Importance In the European war. The sudden assault ot the Germans In Russian Poland, from which territory they wore de scribed recently as being driven In disorder, has lent a new aspect to this campaign, which for Germany Is no less Important than the conflict in France and Belgium. Russian military officials admit a reverse In this territory and Berlin Is celobratlng a great victory, but the mcagerncss of authentic Infor mation from tho front makes It Im possible to determine the extent of imDortance or the German successes. Mcanwhllo Russia Is proceeding with her other two adventures In her three fold campaign. Her troops to tho north, Petrograd announces, are penetrating steadily Into East Prus sia, while to tbo south they are clos ing in on Cracow, Gallcia, In an at tempt to crush the Austrlans. Tho sound ot cannonading was re ported oft tho coast of Sweden, in tho Daltic Sea. It was thought pos sible that the main Russian fleet, which recently set out from HelsJag- fors, Finland, might have engaged tae Germans. The general staff or the Russian army which Invaded Turkey, an nounces tbat the advance of the Turks has been checked, and that their troops, which have been successfully pursuing the Russian advance guards, are now In retreat. Austria apparently has 'the upper hand in her war with Servla. Re ports from Vienna stato that the pur suit ot tho enemy is being carried further and that the Servian retreat at places is attended with heavy losses. Unofficial German advices state that Russia had sent troops to assist tho Servians, but the authentic ity of this roport was In doubt, slnco such a movement ot forces would In volvo a long sea voyage around tho continent ot Europe or tho invasion of Bulgaria or Rumania, neutral count ries.
