SECURELY ANCHORED
RUSSIAN FRONT ON DANUBE TWIN OFFENSIVE RESUMED (Rec. noon.) RUGBY, Nov. 2, The Russian army in Hungary, having cleared its flanks round Belgrade and in.Ruthenia, has resumed the offensive east and south., This sweep up the gap betwene the Danube and Tisza threatens to turn the German position on the Upper Tisza, where the Germans recently managed, at heavy cost, to straighten and stabilise their line. The Russian left flank now rests securely on the Danube from below Budapest to where the river bends east above Novisad. Where the river flows through Yugoslavia the Russians are not likely to find it a serious obstacle, as they are being helped by Yugoslav guerrilla l forces in Slavonia. The Rusisans thus have more than one direction in which to advance, and its tributaries are not likely to allow their advance to outrun its long supply routes.
