has reached Grodno; the Petrogras
dispatches state that the Russians

agree, but they indicate a retreat of
40 miles by the Russians. With their

army opposite Koenigsberg threatened
from the flank, 1t is probable that this
force has been able to hold it's ad-

Berlin Tells of Retirement.
In official communications issued in
Berlin, General Won Stein announced
that the German army, which had ad-
vanced across the Marne to the east
of Paris, was heavily attacked by the
enemy between Paris, Meaux and
Montmirail.
The fighting lasted two days. The
German army checked the enemy and
even advanced, but stronger hostile
columns came to the assistance of the
allies and the enemy won the battle
compelling the German troops to re-
tire.
Fifty guns were captured by the al.

The citadel is built upon rocky
