Germans Explain Warsaw Retirement,
Berlin, by wireless, Oct. 31-Accord-
ing to official information given out to
the press in Berlin today there Is no
news from the western theater Of war.
The only German news from the
Polish front is the authoritative con-
hrmation of the prevailing impression
in Berlin that the German onslaught
on the Warsaw fortress was in full
swing when the retirement Of the Ger
man forces was ordered.
It is pointed out that the German
attack would scarcely have been d.
rected against this fortified position
after strong Russian forces had arrived
at a point south and to the west OF
Warsaw. These must naturally be the
first object Of attack.
An official announcement given out
in Vienna says that the total number
Of Russian prisoners interned in Aus
tria and Hungary on Oct. % was 649
officers and 1850 men, not counting
those in transit on this date.
Russian Advance Repulsed.
The report says further that strong
Russian forces have crossed the river
San south Of Nisko but that they were
repulsed after hard fighting.
The Russian attacks on the heights
to the west Of Stry and Sambor, like
wise, have been repulsed. In this en-
gagement an ammunition depot ex-
ploded.
Austrian forces arespushing forward
on the southern flank and gaining
ground. They carried several fortified
positions on the heights to the north
east Of Turka to the east Of Galicia
twenty eight miles to the south OF
Sambof.
