Petrograd, Oct. 24.-The general stat
in an official bulletin made public yes
terday says that the German forces arc
in full retreat from the vicinity of War
saw. At several points it is stated the
retreat has taken on the proportions OF
complete rout. Many OF the German
heavy guns have been mired and cap
tured by the pursuing Russians.
So precipitate has been the German
retreat that they have been forced to
abandon their wounded and large. guam,
titles of hospital stores. The crack Ger
man corps have been terribly decimated
by the Russians, who attacked from
front and flank.
There are 100000 Russians engaged
in the big battle. which is developing
into a great Russian victory The pur-
suit of the beaten Germans is appar-
emily being continued by Cossacks
through Dogs and marshy forests, where
the movement of artillery and motor
transports is impossible,
The reports reaching military head
quarters from the front say that the
total losses of the Germans, killed,
wounded and prisoners, in their opera
tions in Poland to date number 100000.
The full effect of the great Russian
victory before Warsaw is just begin
ming to be realized here. The main Ger
man forces of the left wing are now in
full retreat, leaving the Russians in Po-
land occupying a position almost on the
flank of the German troops still fight
ing to the south.
The effect OF the victory has been felt
all along the battle line of 200 miles
stretching away to the south of Pre-
mysl and as a result the Russians are
advancing at all points along this line.
The Austrians are reported to have been
driven back from the San river as
result OF the fighting in Galicia The
pursuit Of the Germans in Poland ia be-
ing carried out energetieally by the Rus
sian cavalry who are inAicting terrible
damage on the retreating forces.
According to a report received here
Kaiser William has hurriedly removed
his headquarters from Czeustochowa.
Accompanied by his staff. the kaiser
has gone back to Silesia and is said to
be angry at the defeat of the Germans.
As result of the Russian successes, it
is reported here, the Germans have
caused wholesale arrests among the po-
litical leaders of the duchy of Poland |
at least 900 members of the Polish |
Agrarian party having been imprisoned. |
II is evident now that the German in
vasion of Poland is already a failure. |
The German forces now in retreat are |
described hero as the best troops that |
Germany has in the East and two crack
German corps. the 18th and Goth, have
suffered especially. They formed the
rear guard of the Germany army dur
ing the retreat and bore the brunt Of
fighting against the pursuing Russians.
