NEW BATTLE IN POLAND
Great German and Russian Armies
Locked In Pillea Region.

Great German and Russian Armies
Locked In Piliea Region.
Two great German and Russian ar
mics are locked in the grip Of battle
in the Pilica region. south of the Wis
tula river, in Poland, where the forces
of Grand Duke Nicholas are striving
to dislodge the soldiers of Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg.
A German offensive in that region
having failed, the Germans retired to
a strong position along a series Of
heights, and the Russians are now
shelling these positions with the ut
most vigor, preparatory to an attempt
to carry them with the bayOnet. A
big battle is developing there along a
seven mile front
But in the meantime heavy fighting
is in progress south of the East Prus-
sian border, near LOmza, PlOck and
PrZasnysZ. The Russians are main
tanning a strong offensive all along
this line from Augustowo, down along
the Bobr and Narew rivers, to a point
south of Plock.
1t was with the intention Of lessen.
ing Russian pressure in this region
that the Germans attacked so vigor
ously south of the Vistula. With the
German efforts in the region of the
Pilica failure, the situation between
Plock and Augustowo is now serious
for the invaders. It is now believed
that the Russians will be able to
start a march into East Prussia with.
in the next ten days. The German
bombardment of Ossowiec has been
without effect. Russian sorties, cou-
pied with efficient fire of the guns OF
the Russian forts. caused great losses /
to the Germans.

ALLIES BATTER
TURKISH FORTS
More WarShipS Join the Fleet
in DaTdanGIGS.
STRONGHOLDS ARE SILENCED
Two Forts and a Battery Are De-
stroyed as Work Becomes More
Hazardous.

Reinforcements have arrived IN
Turkish waters for the mighty Anglo
French feet under Vice Admiral
Sackville Hamilton Garden, which is
trying to smash its way through the
Dardanelles, according to information
received in London from Athens.
1t is reported that the battleships
Irresistible and Majestic have Joined
the international feet and are now
taking part in the terrific cannOnade
against the Turkish forts on the Oar
danelles and the coast Of Asia Minor.
The Daily Telegraph's Athens cor
respondent also reports that another
super-dreadnough of the Queen Eliz-
abeth type, mounting ffteen-inch
guns, has arrived at the straits.
Although official information states
that the strong Dardanelles forts OF
Rumili Medjidieh Tabia, Hamidieh l
and the Mount DaTdanus battery had
been silenced, it also indicated that
the feet had not been able to pene-
trate the waterway for sixteen miles,
as had been unoficially reported from
Athens and Salonika.
Fort Souain Dere, opposite Mount
Dardanus, evidently has not been ST.
fenced. There remain on both sides OF
the narrows many defenses to be over
come, some of which cannot be at
tackled by indirect fire.
Vice Admiral Garden announces
that practically all the ships which
have been actively engaged in the op-
erations have been struck by Turkish
projectiles, but the news that none
Of the warships had been seriously
damaged was received with great JOY
n London. The slight damage to the
ships and the lightness OF the casual
les form a remarkable feature of this
mighty action in which the cream OF
he British navy is engaged.

nough to cause a cessation of this
