0EBMAX8 CLAIM SWEEPING VICTORIES IN EAST.
London, Jan. 30. Sweeping claims of military successes

trian war office:
It is asserted that in Poland, on the Warsaw front- in Cal
kin, Bukowlna, and the northern part of Hungary the Austro
Oerraan allies have been battering down the strong Russian re
sistance. Rearward communications of the Russians in Oali
cia is threatened the report says, by the Austrian, while the
Russian forces, which invaded Bukowina and northern Hun
gary have been successful.
In Roland the trenches of the Avtstro-Gimian armies are
slowly hilt fuirely approaching ; the Warsaw forts.
No mention' is made in the report of actions in East Prus
sia, which, according to Petrograd reports, now is menaced by
the new offensive movements started by the Russians. The
Russians have inflicted a 'crushing defeat on the Turkish army
which invaded Persia, and have re-occupied Tabriz.
