great force is hammering at the allied
lines near Types and is reported to be

This condition of affairs on the ex-

ment adds that the forces Of the kali

Petrograd.-RuSSia has definitely
begun the Compromised invasion of
Germany. A Russian advance guard
of cavalry has broken the German
defense at the River Warthe and has
penetrated ten miles within the pro-
vince of Posen, raiding a railroad and
holding a position at Pleschen, which
is Is miles northwest of Kalisz and
81 miles northeast of Breslau. For
the first time since the war began
the cars troops here have set foot
in "a province where tile great es-
tates of the German mobiles are 10
Gated.
simultaneously, the Russian drive
at East Prussia has driven the Ger
mans from Wirballen, their last posi-
ton in the Russian province of SUI
waikiki, and has overfIowed East Prus-
sian territory from Stalluponen, ten
miles west of Wirballen, to Lyck, a
distance of 60 miles, the Russian
front being from seven to ten miles
within East Prussia. Cossacks are
raiding toward Gumbinnn and In
sterburg.
On the southern frontier, in South
east Poland and Galicia, the advance
of the Russians has been equally
rapid and irresistible. An advance
guard which drove the Austrians and
Saxons southwark along the left bank
of the Vistula River after the great
victory of Oct, 10 to Oct. IS, has
reached the River Nidzica, less than
So miles from Cracow, and the closest
a Russian army has ever been to the
gateway of Silesia.
