German Official Statement.
London. Oct. ia dispatch to
Reuters from Berlin says the Ger
man general staff issued this state
ment covering operations in the east:
In the eastern theater we re-
pulsed in the north all attacks of
the First and Tenth Russian armies
on October 9 and 10. The Russian
outf1anking efforts by way of Schir-
windt EAST Prussia) equally were re-
pulsed and the Russians lost 1000
prisoners.
in South Poland the advance
guards of our armies have reached the
Vistula. Near Grojec, south of War
saw, we captured 1000 men of the
Second Siberian army corps.
THE Russian official communica-
ton about great Russian victory at
Augustowo and Suwalki (Russian
Poland) are invented. The fact that
no official Russian communication has
been published about the tremendous
defeats at Tannenberg and Interberg
(both in East Prussia) vouches lack
of reliable official information"
