their subscriptions. This year the
college must look to home for the an.

Artillery Saves the Day.

The Russians were assuming the
offensive when artillery which hither-
to had been unable to get up through
the forests to the south of MaZurian
lakes arrived just in time and turned
the scales. The troops of this column
pressed forward along the fairway,
only a dozen miles wide. between the
Mazurian lakes and the Russian from
tier, driving the Russians before them
but they were forced to turn three
times to beat off the flank attacks
from the south.
TIL Russian commander-in- chief
made desperate efforts to come to the
help of this army, whose plight by
now was recognized. He sent in a
column of troops to fortress of Lomza,
and from Kolno and from the fort at
Ossowetz. Each time the German COM
mander faced part of the troops to
the south, defeated the Russian relief
columns and then continued his march.
The retreat of the Russians on this
part of the field of operations could be
made in only one direction, namely.

vented their escaped to the east or

perately jammed. and February 16.

was almost confident that the bag
would be complete. Then came the de-
