FEARFUL SLAUGHTER.
Hundreds of Wounded Swept From
Their Feet by Swift Current OF
River and Drowned.

Petrograd. Dec. 23.-Two thousand
Germans part of column OF the
advance on Warsaw, were annihla-
ted in single engagement along the
BZura river.
Details of the fighting reaching
here today showed that the Russians
west of Warsaw masked their az
tillery and did not open fire on the
closely massed ranks Of the enemy
until they were in midstream. The
destruction of life was frightful.
Hundreds of wounded we're swept
off their feet by the current and,
weighted down by their heavy equip
nlent, were drowned.
The advance was completely check
ed.
The Germans Withdrew and took
cover to escape the Russian fire.
At other points mines were explod-
ed along the banks where the Ger
mans endeavored to force crossing.
Such explosions invariably resulted
in heavy losses to the enemy and
threw their ranks into geratest con-
fusion.
The steady advance of the Russian
forces north of the Vistula is now
threatening the German flank. The
Germans retiring on a thirty-nile
front on a line from Neidenburg to
Lautenburg are endeavoring to pro-
tect the system of Fast Prussian
railroads upon which the enemy de-
pends for the transportation of
troops.
The Russians are swinging south
ward toward Thorn, and the Ger
mans have been forced to hurry
troops in that direction.

The attack of the French and Bri-

out the battle line. 1t is evident, how
ever, that shifting Of German troops
or the arrival of re-enforcements has
resulted in the German resistance be-
ing strengthened At several points
the French have been able to gain
hut a few yards after extremely
heavy fighting. They have held their
eround all along the line, however.
The action along the coast con-
tinues to be marked by heavy bonn
tardments. Between Arras and
Rheims infantry attacks have been
especially violent. Advances by min
ing are being attempted throughout
the battle front. The extensive wire
cntanglements which protect all Ger
man trenches are giving the allied
troops great trouble, but at some
roints a graphing hook which has

to tear away these entanglements.
