before the Russian advance.
Copenhagen. Berlin newspapers re-

feat by the Russians in East Prussia
has been serious, but they explain
that the unfortunate position of East
Prussia, bounded on the south by Rus
sian soil, made retreat necessary, quite
apart from the fact that they were at
tackled by strongly superior force.
One newspaper says the population
is fleeing from the country and relief
committee has therefore been formed
