Admitted here that German troops
have now advanced approximately
fifty miles into Russian territory.
Two other actions of great i'm
portance are also now in full swing
one on the Czenstochown-Cracow
lines and the other in East Prussia.
The advance upon Cracow continues
to progress, it is stated here. In East
Prussia the Russian troops are de-
clared to have advanced four miles
beyond Angerburg. Fighting is still
in progress in the Mazurian lake
region.
Paris-Tremendous pressure is now
being exerted on allied line from

Paris-AII reports here indicate
that the Germans have found Dix

one of the hottest spots along the en-
tire battle line. The town has been
knocked to pieces.
The warships on the coast are de-
clared to be dropping their shells into
the German position and the forcing
of the allies from this point has been
of little advantage.
The immediate objective of Gen.
Won Hindenberg's army advancing
through Poland apparently is Lowicz.
This town is on the main railroad
