consisted OF two infantry divisions and
one rifle brigade, was dIslodged from its

face of determined assaults by the enemy
Hundreds of Prusslans have been taken
prisoners.
In Russian Poland there has been no
hghting reported.
We have reoccupied the Bukowna dis
trict. The Russian army of occupation
behaved like beasts; pillaging houses, at
tacking women and executing people
without reason. The loss OF property is
enormous in Czcrnowitz. where the Rus
