The Journal is pleased to announce
this morning the names of the sue
cessful contestants in the Picture
Puzzle Pastime that has just come to
a close. That the contest has been
success and that 1t has been source
of much enjoyment to many goes
without saying. The Journal feels that
the main object of the contest has
been attained in the entertainment and
instruction 1t has afforded to readers,
old and new.
The Journal congratulates the win
ners. To the unsuccessful ones there
must be the solace that while not
winning a prize, the contest has
proved a source of much pleasure and
instruction to them. To many contest
ants this was an initial effort, the
scope and possibilities Of the game
not being fully realized, although 1t
will be recalled by those who have fol-
lowed the contest that every possible
effort was made to instruct the con-
testants in the different phases of the

present situation in Poland, according
to Ludovic Naudeau, the special rep
resentative of the Journal De Paris,
who is at the Russian headquarters in
the field, is as follows:
General MacKenzens eighth Ger
man army is separated into three
groups. The first, between Gombin to
the north and Brzeziny to the south.
is being attacked on three sides.
There remains an opening on the
Western road toward Kutno, which,
however, will be threatened by Rus
slams advancing from LODI Part II
this first group at Glowno and Stry-
kow is almost entirely surrounded
The second group to the south st
Rzgow and TusZyn, is trying to force
its way through to the north but is
opposed by the Russians at LODI and
Brzeziny and the Western road Is
closed to it by the same Russian army
which recently beat two German
corps at Wielun.
The third group to the west is in
critical but not a desperate condition.
for, by right flank at Zdunska Viola
on the Warta, it still holds the road
to Kalisz. which could serve either
for retreat or for reinforcements if
