very good swimmer, went to Brown S
assistance and got the man by the hair

counts of the fighting in this region
mp to Wednesday, and make no direct
mention of Przasnysz, the capture Of
which was claimed in Thursdays Of
fetal communication from Berlin.
Repulso of German attacks further
south, however, are mentioned in the
Petrograd statement.
Active operations have been resumed
in Courland, while near the southern
end of the long battle line in the east
the Austrians have forced the passage
of the Dniester at several places.
On the Austro- italian front Rome re
ports success in forcing the Austrians
out of the position in the mountain
regions where fighting is in progress.
Further advices from the allies on
the Gallipoli peninsula are reported
from Athens.
The German submarine U-5I, Noted
for its long voyage from German wa
ters to Constantinople, is reported to
have been sunk in the Black sea by
Russian warships.
A Berlin despatch says the German
forces have crossed the Windau river
in Courland.
