Russians Victorious.
In the present battle on the River
Vistula, from Warsaw south to the
River Pilica, the Russians have scored
an important victory in driving the

marches through the barren wastes

the German line. which was composed
of Saxon and Hanovarian troops. For
three days the Germans tried to stem
the move, but were unable to do ef-

ploded, nearly every one falling and
imbedding itself deeply in the soft,
marshy soil without firing.
