London, Jan. 12, Apart from an affair in the vicinity of the Poneviege Railway, where Russian scouts cut two rows of wire entanglements and then dislodged the Germans from some trenches with hand grenades, the Russian communique to-day reports only small encounters between reconnoitring parties at various points of the Western Front.
On the other hand, the Austrian communique reports very tieres fighting on the Bessarabian Frontier: the Russians, after an intense artillery preparation, making six attacks between three o'clock in the afternoon and ten at night.

Petrograd, Jan. 10.
Yesterday, in general, calm prevailed along the whole front.
In Galicia and eastward of Chernowitz the enemy, having suffered immense losses from the short, hard blow we had delivered and having become disorganized owing to his fruitless and desperate counter-attacks against the positions we had captured from him, did not display any activity during the whole of yesterday. His feeble attempts by artillery fire and the use of hand grenades, to hinder the work of our troops in consolidating the positions captured from him were everywhere unsuccessful.
