The German public ha been apprised of the plan and the crowds at the railroad stations to cheer the reserve as they start for the battle line are described as enormous. The Austrian achieved some success the southeast where they bent back Letchltsky'i line In the Carpathian mountain passes. From Amsterdam comes a report that In thl sector the first blow of the counter offensive will bo struck, for two reasons the first that the situation looks worst for the Russians there, and, second, because of the political effect on Rumania any Ger- man progress there would have. It Is believed that a few weeks will see the development of nn aggressive German campaign In the east comparable to that of the summer of 1915. There was heavy fighting south of Brody y and the Russian\ accord ing to announcement from Pctrograd captured two Gallcl.in villages and drove the Austrlans from a wood between the two towns. They bettered their iiosltlons between the rivers Gra-ber- and Sereth and held their ad- vances against nine counter attacks. They took 1,200 prisoners.

F.xperlences of New Yorkers by reason of the disrupted surface car service, which became more abbreviated as the hcura passed until 8 o'clock last night, when all street cars stopped running, were not to their liking, During the day thousands who prefer the street, cars In the summer time to any other public con- veyance took to the subways and the elevated roads. .Many, fearing the dan- ger of rlJIng past groups of strikers and strike sympathizers In the trouble zones, walked.

Hut after o'clock they had to walk r go under ground or up In the air, and the average New Yorker admitted ho didn't like the situa- tion at all. It was evident during the nftern on that street car riding In New York In strike times was not popular. Here and there a car was well tilled and In some Instances crowded, but the bulk of those that ran did not carry many passengers. This was csiwclally true of he cars on the lower Kast Side. Cars which left and came Into Park Row had only n few fares. Many Try River Boats. The best business the New York Rail- ways Company did was on Its rrosst wn lines, although this mtmcc was tcirlbly crippled because of the knocking off of crews. Folks wlio wanted in go irom the east to the west side of the city had tu use these cars or walk, as there are no paralleling elevated and subway lines, nnd th usnnds had to walk before the night was over. That people were apprehensive as to the danger of tiding on street cars was borne out by the fact that many folks, mu willing to take risks, left their In the downtown section In the af- ternoon, liftanled McAdo tube trains at the Hudson Terminal llulldlrg. crossed the river to New Jersey and reerossed to New York, getting out at stations nil the way to the end of the line at Thirty-thir- d Mreet.
