GERMANS MAINTAIN THEIR
FORTIFIED POSITIONS

Peirograd, Dec. (via London,
1887 a, m.)--The Army Messenger. In
Il review Of the fighting during the
period Of November 28 TO 80, says:
"On the Russo Prussian frontier
the Germans have maintained their
fortified positions and have been
making attacks of little importance.
'''rhe German offensive In the re-
glon of Lowicz was repulsed BY the
advance guards and cavalry, who in-
fieted heavy losses ON the enemy
The same fate befell offensive move
ments at Dombrovo and Sohuazoff.
"On the Thorn Cracow front the
German guard which attempted the
offensive suffered serious defeat In
the Trzbitz-Bogomilof district. Our
troops took a large number of prison-
ers, assumed the offensive and cap
tured several important points. Coun-
ter attacks by the enemy were re-
pulsed.
The Austrian troops defending the
a approaches TO Cracow have been de-
feated and are falling back in dlsor-
der in the region of the fortress.

vancing with ever-increasing success"
