While Russian leaders are debating at Moscow with divided opinions as to the best steps for saving the coun try from threatened disaster from within and without, the Russian ar mies continue to give ground to the Germans. The latest break in the line through disaffection in the troops occurred on the southern Rumanian front where thf Austro-German troops are marching to Moldavia, with the fate of this province in the balance. In the Fokshani region a Russi an division abandoned its positions and fled in disorder. 'This facilitated a Teutonic advance that continued all day on the southern Rumanian front, the Teutonic troops pushing northeastward. The lines were stiil yielding last night in the Varnitza re gion. Stormy weather apparently is pre venting any notable military activi ty' on the British front. The British after completing their successful operation on Monday near Langemark in which they pushed forward along a front oi more than a mile contented themselves with clearing out the German positions. In other sections the British car ried out successful raids capturing prisoners. Apparently there is a halt in th? major activities in the Vardun re gion and in the great campaign which General Cadorna has launched against the Austrians there is a lull.
