KING OF SAxONY
Heads Teuton Army Resisting
the Russians.

Petrograi special: A great battle
is raging near Yedlinsko, north of Ra-
dom, in southern Poland.
The Austro-German army command
ed by the king of Saxony is making q
stand behind lines of intrenchments
thrown up three weeks ago. There is
no official report on the battle, but 1t
is confirmed at ministry of war that
the combat is of great proportions and
has not yet been decided The Saxons
composed the right wing of the Ger
man host which was defeated along
the Vistula from Oct IA to Oct IS.
The strength of the army is estimated
at 100000 and the Russians are attack
ing with probably 500, 900.
The retreat of this wing, according
to a correspondent at Warsaw, resolv-
ed itself into a question of reaching
the line OF intrenchments or being cut
to pieces by Russian cavalry. Appar
emily the Saxons and Austrians have
been able to reform punished and dis
organized corps and are making a
stubborn fight to bar the way to Sile-
STA.
1t is believed here that the outcome
of the battle will be complete victory
for the Russian left wing, since the
Austro-German force can expect little
If any support from the German CEN
ter, which is hard pressed in the re-
gion of Lowiscz. To the north the
German left wing has been driven
west of Skierniewicz and is Offering
little resistance. Dispatches received
from Warsaw say that thousands of
German prisoners have been taken to
that city, including officers of high
rank.
A dispatch from Lemberg states that
there has been no important result
from the nine-days' battle in Galicia,
although the Austrians are showing
signs Of weakening. Russian columns
have made slight advances west of the
San and have taken 5000 prisoners
and some field and machine guns.
