Sweeping claims of military successes along virtually

an official 15310.1 today from the Austrian War Office.
It is asserted that in Poland, on the \N’arsaw front-and in

(Iicrnmn Allies arc battering down the Russian resistance.

Prussia, which. according to Pctrograd reports, now is
mcnaccd by a new offensive movement on the part of‘thc
Russian army of invasion. Reports from the Russian
V’Var Office recently have indented that the Austrians have
gained some advantage in the fighting in the Carpa~
'tllians, but neither the l‘c'trograd nor .thc Berlin state—
ments have shown i111portant changes on the Warsaw
front. '
Dispatches from London and Paris state that the
Russians have inflicted a defeat upon a Turkish army
which invaded Persia and have rc—occup'icd Tabriz. An of-
ficial communication from the commander of the Russian
army of tile Caucasus says that 11.6 Turks were defeated
and put to flight in an engagement near Tabriz, but
makes no mention of tlic rc- occupation of that c1ty by the
Russians.
Berlin advices tell of :1 raid on Ostcnd and chbruggc
in Belgium. by British aeroplanes. It is said that three
of the aeroplanes failed to return, having been sur—
