Petrograd, March Embarrassing
Intensity marks the fighting around
Ossowiec, in Poland, where the Ger
mans have been carrying on a vio-
lent bombardment of the fortress with
their heavy guns. An official state
ment issued here says that the Ger
mans have been able to move some
of their batteries nearer the city, but
that the caRnonade has proved inef
fectual so far. Night sorties of the
Germans prisoners. The official
statement follows:
THE enemy has brought some of
his batteries closer to the fortress
of Ossowiec, in view of the obvious
ineffectiveness of the bombardment at
longer range. The artillery in the
Russian fortress successfully shelled
column of the enemy consisting of
motors drawing pieces of artillery,
provision wagons and ammunition
carts. Fighting at moderate distance
continued throughout the thirteenth
and fourteenth almost until nightfan
on the latter day.
Advantage With Russians.
"The advantage was constantly on
the side of the defenders (Russians).
Two German companies attempted to
approach the frozen Bobr river in the
of Augustowo), but after being
shelled, retired. Their losses were
heavy. In the neighborhood of Os-
sowiec our scouts carried some of
the positions of the enemy at night
and brought prisoners into the for
tress.

very violent artillery fire, but their
