We record with great satisfaction the news, received in London
on Thursday, that the Russians are now on the crest of the Car- pathians. Their new advance has taken place near Mount Kowerla, a mountain some six thousand feet high which lies in the vicinity of the Jablonica Pass. The mountain in question is on the boundary line between Galicia and Hungary, and therefore the Russians are now either actually on Hungarian soil or very close to it. During the week the rest of the Russian news has been quite good, both in the centre and to the north.
