RUSSIANS CAPTURE
MARGGRABOWA AND
LYCK STRONGHOLDS
Fierce Assaults Mark New
Offensive Upon Prussian
Territory C e m a n S
Forced Across Own Bor-
der.
PETRoGRAD, oct. 10.

PETROGRAD, Oct. 10.
The Russian War Office today an
nounced that Marggrabowa and Lyck,
two important railroad centres in East
Prussia, had been captured from the
Germans.
By making their attack on Marggra-
bowa from the southeast the Russians
forced the Germans to abandon their
fortified positions at Barkalezew on the
Rospula River, and Minister of War
Sukhominoff, who has returned from the
front with Car Nicholas, declared today
that every German soldier had been
driven from Russia south into the Gov
ernment of Suwalki.
The Car was within q dozen miles OF
his troops when by night attack they
captured the town of Bialla. (Blalla is
five miles inside the Prussian frontier
and 20 miles southwest OF Lyck.) The
Commander-in-C Chief afterward issued an
army order declaring the Cars visit will
inspire every one to new exploits such
as Russia never yet has seen.
The War Office has issued the following
statement:
THE Germans are now on the defensive.
They have all been driven back into East
Prussia, and by capturing Lyck and
Marggarbowa we have gained strategi-
cal position which puts the Germans in
a perilous situation
"On the left bank of the Vistula our
troops are now engaged with the Aus
trian and German armies Heavy fight
ing has been in progress for two days
without definite results. The enemy has
hurried heavy forces there to check our
advance on Slesia. We are making
gains"
This announcement has confirmed the
belief that the battle along the Vistula
north of Cracow has reached a critical
stage.
On the other hand, the Germans are
In force in Russian Poland having
reached almost to Warsaw. A German
official bulletin admits the Russians are
at Lyck.
Dispatches from Petrograd say that a
new Russian army has arrived at the
frontier near Posen, while another ia
marching toward Thorn.

A curious phase Of the war is that
many soldiers have taker amulets with
them to the front. Heather is, perhaps
