Rennenkampf's egiOnsHarrass
Germans in East Prussia
by Daring Raids.
CHANNEL BATTLE CONTINUES
Germans Hold Dixmude But French
and British Have Strong Lines
Along Belgian Canal
Routes.
Summary Of E1enks.)

The Russian army under Gen
eral Rennenkampf is fighting its
way into East Prussia and has
taken Johannesburg, which is on
the railroad from Lyck to Soldau,
both of which towns already are
in Russian hands. This gives to
Russia the control of an import
ant railway line which skirts the
frontier in German territory and
several branch railways running
into the interior.
The central army, which drove the
Germans back from the Vistula, has
had only unimportant engagements,
but it is known to be pushing forward
to the borders of Posen and Silesia,
which the Germans are crossing
The southern army under General
Ruzsky, is at Rzeszow, between
Przemysl and Cracow. and its cross
ing of the San River is being opposed
by the Austrians. Another detach-
ment continues the siege of Przemysl,
while still another is operating against
the Austrians who are holding the
passes of the Carpathians.
Germans Lose Heavily.
The Germans, according to Petro-
grad dispatches, have suffered a more
serious defeat on the East Prussian
border than the official statements
have disclosed. Advices from the
Russian capital state that in the re-
cent fighting there the Russians have
captured more than 10000 prisoners
together with quantities of guns and
munitions.
The Russian advance in Poland has
been at the rate of fourteen miles
daily. This advance of horse, foot
and artillery has continued for efgh-
teen days.
In Galicia the Russians continue to
push the Austrians back, but the Aus
TRANS are having their revenge along
the Servian border, which they threat
en- to cross in an endeavor to crush
Servia before Russia can come to her
assistance.
Germans Out of Poland
All Russian territory is now cleared
OF Germans. This is the claim of the
Russian war office, as additional re-
ports arrive telling of the mighty
sweep Of the forces of the car as they
press onward into East Prussia, Posen
and Galicia. With heavy SHOWS hav-
ing already fallen in the north, the
Russian transport divisions are now
equipped with sIedges. The cavalry
is reported to have pierced the left
German flank at Konin.
