The Germans were seriously
threatened in the rear by strong rus

about and succeeded in cutting their
way through the Russian ring. IN
three DAYS of furious fighting they
captured 10000 Russian prisoners ana
twenty-five guns without losing SIN
gle gun of their own. Nearly all the
Germans wounded have been brought

serious but not enormous. indeed
this was one of the finest military
