the statement says, compelled some of
the Russian units to retire to the Sec
ond line of trenches. The communi-
cation was as follows:
ION the right bank OF the lower Wis
tula on January 81 our cavalry made
sudden and successful assault upon
the German line along the front be-
tween Brezun and Lake Orezelejo. 10
versts Go miles) north Of Sierpec,
capturing many officers and soldiers.
THE attempt of the Germans on the
S0th to open an offensive movement
in the direction Of Lipno and Do
bryzn, supported by artillery fire was
checked
ION the left bank Of the vistula
front at the villages of Makow and
Dyblin the enemy was thrown back
to the line OF the villages of Weleze
and Nasignewo, northwest of Wloc-
lawek. The Germans in retreating
abandoned at Makow many of their
dead.
In the course OF the day of Janu-
airy 81, the enemy after having con-
centrated in the region of Sochaczew,
Bolimove and South Bolimove a large
force of artillery, developed active OPP
very considerable force. The Ger
great tenacity, advancing in close
rear.
after having concentrated a vio-
lent fire in the morning upon that re-
gion, the fiereeness of the German
offensive compelled some Of our units

trenches"
I'm the meanwhile counter attack
from another detachment of our forces
drove the enemy from all the trenches
occupied by him, inflicting upon him
enormous losses.
simultaneously with this attack on
Borjimow the Germans delivered Sc
ries of ferocious assaults against our
front between the villages Of Gou-
mine, Bourgade, and Moghely. These
attacks were supported by very heavy
artillery fire. Up to midday Of Janu-
airy, every one of these assaults was
driven back by US, some by our fire
and some with the bayonet. But be-
tween midday and p. m of Janu-
airy 81 the Germans were success
full in occupying a part of our
trenches. In this they were helped
largely by an energetic and sustained
artillery fire. A little after o'clock
we understood a general counter at
tack. This was successful, and as a
result of 1t the enemy, the evening OF
January 81, retained but a little por-
ton of our first line trenches, to-
gether with a certain chateau in the
country. It can be said that the sue
cesses of the Germans the day of Jan
nary 81 in the vicinity of Borjimow
were relatively Insignificant compared
TO the losses we inflicted on the en-
enny with our artillery fire, our coun-
ter attack and our bayoqet charges.
According to reports from our mill
tary chieftains the Russians inflicted
immense damage on the Germans.
Our guns dispersed dense gatherings
of German infantry and It reduced
their batteries to silence; this made it
possible for us to resist their fierce
attack.
.aThe lighting in the Carpathians
continues. In spite of the reported
narticipation of French Austrian
troops which up to the present time
have not actually appeared on our
front. we were successful in repeiling
every endeavor Of the enemy to as
sumo the offensive in the vicinity OF
Mount Beskid and Mount Wyszow and
we are continuing to advance with
success along the front from Poll
anka to Loudovfsku.
aTt should be related that during the
night Of January 81 at q point near
Molomow a Russian detachment adj
vanced upon the enemy and dislodged
them from certain positions which
threatened the heads OF our trenches.
In this encounter our men used the
bayonet freely and we captured some
