Petrograd, Feb. THE great strug-
Gle for control of the initiative in the
Eastern campaign is increasing in in
tensitv. II is too soon for confident
forecast, but the results OF the terrible
fighting for key positions in Central
Poland encourage the belief that the
Russian operations are now taxing a

October. The Russian army is put

The victory OF Friday north OF the
junction of the Bzura and the Nlstula
has a value far beyond the immediate
ground gained. The infantry moved
upon Kamion in succession OF deter
mined rushes between the town and
bank of the Nistula before 10 o'clock
in the morning. II was reinforced by
noon, and with strong artillery CO.

road TO Llovo. This progress pushed

which the heaviest guns could reach

This advance along the Lloyo road
threatens the flank Of the German
communications from Thorn TO the
fiercely contested group of farmstesds
between Humin and Borzimow. In the
curve OF the western Bzurs and the
line of the Rawka the men fighting for
the crest of the dominating position at
Humin say that have never heard such
a roar of sound from the artillery can
nonade since the war began. The Ger
mans had 6-inch, S-inch and il-inch
guns in astonishing numbers, all
trained continuously on the trenches
outside OF the fringe of wood held BY

forward in dense professions. Where
the ranks were shot through the gaps
Immediately were filed, and they still
surged on. Their foremost men, when
they reached the Russian trenches. were
so exhausted they could only gasp for
mercy, but their comrades Immediately
behind were so near nobody could be
spared, and when the last charges were
turned 20 complete their defeat, the
Russians had 70 move forward among

found, in new position which they
seized from the Germans, q great sup
