Russian cavalry have advanced through several of the Pl**'"l-/ in the Carpathians, and ta&R»enetrated to the Hungarian plains. The passes are now held by the Russians, who report that the Austrians are fleeing in front of them. The Germans at Dunkirk made an attack on the French in massed formation on Sunday with the object of recovering' possession of the great dune. The attack was unsuccessful.
