ACTIVITY ON THE EASTERN FRONT
ENEMY PUSHED BACK NUMBERS OF GERMAN SOLDIERS SURRENDERING By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, January 4. The Petrograd correspondent _of the "Daily Telegraph" says the curtain is being lifted on the vast operations between the Pripet and the Rumanian frontier. It is now clear that our Ally is activo practically on the whole front, extending 170 miles. Tho enemy has been pushed back at more than one point. It is believed that General von Mackensen and General Pflanzor aro in command of the enemy forces, the latter being at Czernowitz. A semi-official estimate of the Austro-German strength south of the Pripet puts it at 1,500,000. A sudden and unexpected storm disconcerted the enemy, whose costly raudworks are now becoming liquefied into rivers. The trenches were made untenable owing; to the inrush of water. Many prisoners taken were frostbitten. Numbers of Germans are surrendering, consequent on a Russian placard being issued that deserters would be taken in daily at a certain place an.d hour.
