TIL. VICTORY AND ITS RESULTS.
From the London Times, April 1911
After . gallant defence of twn months Dyb-
10! WAS taken yesterday morning by assault,
md tha D.:iia!i army has lest it, lass hold on
thu mainland OF Sc!issw.g. For some days
tho event hu+ been expected. Towards the
close Of last mont, ii became evident that the
Pfussi..lis bad ttirown of tho larger which
markell the early ronduat Of tho siege, md
wcrJs resolved tc press it with Vigor and to
force, it possible, IL surrender IL need hard
ly bn sail that tho prospect of tho coming
conicrcnoc la't mu;ti to do with this sudden
display Of energy. Day by day they brought
their ire nearer the Danisl, batteries. At the
beginning Of last week il became evident that
the Danes unless largely reinforced, could not
long hold the place. Unless such an army could
have-becn placed in SyhIcswig as would have
compelled the enemy to raise the siege, the fate
of Dybbol was sealed. At last th6Gssauit was
made yesterday morning. We do not vol
know the details, but VIC trust that tho con-
ilct Was less bloody iban others which our
'tmo haa witnessed. 1t seems certain tina,
the Danes themselves expected tho result for
they are described aS diainantling the forts o!
Tho best part OF their artillery, and taking
most OF their guns over to Ascn. However
that may be, wc must presume that tioY dc
cm,'d the place with sufficient obstinacy -
But the Pru slams were successlu. ReJUubts
| ~ are on til" loft ana centre Of the Danish
line, and extend from the shores Of Wcnuing
bay 20 point on the straigLt line which ,ins
SOndcrberg and the village of Dybbol. These
appear to hay9 been first mastered by the
PrusS!@nT, who thnn passed to tho Danish rear
and took p"YsrS.ion of their communications
Then reu0ubts <, 9 AMI III on the Danish right
were taken together with the Lte de- pont
The bridge was destroyed, und two thous-
and men, 9th fifty enc officers, are spoken Of
As having fallen into the hands cl the enemy.
Thus ends the siege OF DYbbul. Like the Rus
sians on the morrow Vi the great assault On
the Mulakolf, the Dunes have abandoned their
positions ;lad rctrcatci acruss marrow piece
ui wafer, with the intention, M doubt, to dis
putc the further pr"gr".r 1t The enemy. They
probably 'ln n"t rugsr,lrr Themselves ~ wlIn!-

,t'cE l,.nd. tho Russians have won decisive
victory. IL may not ie !. great one, it may

it is Il victory and Prussia may congratulate
