In the region of Mlawa on De-

bank of the Vistula on the evening of
December the Germans under cover
of darkness suddenly began an often
sive movement simultaneously along
the entire front from How west. of
Warsaw to Glowno, southwest of
Warsaw. The movement was re-
markable for its stubborn nature.
The attack was repeated again and
again, the Germans advancing IN
compact columns. Aided by search
lights, however, our fire decimated
the enemy who was everywhere
repulsed. With the rising of the
moon the attacks ceased. The next
day the desperate fighting on the
same front was resumed but with
out success for the enemy.
In the Piatrkow region the situa-
tion is unchanged The fighting
