Austro-German forces continue to
draw closer to Warsaw, while the
Germans in the var northwest stead

objective-the port of Riga.
In the Baltic region the Russians
are Withdrawing before the advanc-
ing Germans, who are carrying addi-
tional towns and strategic positions.
The last intrenchments of the Rus
slams to the west of Shawl, in the
province of Kovno, have been storm
ed and now are in German hands. In
the Kovno-Marimapol district a num-
Der of Russian positions, lying one
behind the other, have been taken.
Further south, along the Narew,
near Novogorod and at Rosean the
German attacks have everywhere
been successful and the Teutons have
captured positions, men and guns.
There was, however, a desperate Rus
sian counter attack on the bridgehead

gievsk to the north of Warsaw, but
this, according TO Berlin, failed. with
heavy casualties and the loss of 1000
men taken prisoners.
Just to the west of the Polish cap

have driven the Russians farther
eastward toward Warsaw from the
Blonie-Grojec line, southeast of the
capital. The army of Gen. Won Woy-
rsch has advanced to the ~bridgehead
positions south Of the great fortress
of Ivangorod and captured a Russian
position near WladislawoW. Battles
are now in progress for the adjoining
positions.
Probably the most severe fighting

There have been heavy losses O
