LONDON, February Sin the

Germans are reported to be
hurting solid masses of soldiers
against the tenacious Russians,
the fighting is declared to be 60
ing on with intense fury Losses
on both sides have been extreme
ly heavy, and as the battles are
continuing with unabated fury it
is expected that the total casual

the operations is claimed by to-

In a distance of six miles be-
tween Humin and Borjimow the
Germans threw 10000 infantry
men, together with heavy forces
of cavalry, the whole supported
by 100 batteries of artillery, COM
prising in all no less than Goo

Not to Be Interrupted

NEW YORK. February 5.-That the
German admiralty communication, de-
claring the waters around Great Brit
ain and Ireland, including the entire
English channel war zone after
February IS would have no effect on
the movements of steamships between
New York and British and French
ports was the general opinion ex-
pressed by representatives of shipping
companies in statements made public
today.
Almost without exception it was an
nounced that there would be no sus-
pension of sailings after February IS.
BY some agents here it was admitted
that there was possibility of serious
risk. but no one was inclined to be-
lieve that there was anything in the
present situation which would call for
diplomatic action by the neutral gov
ernments.
Official Not Fearful.
Charles P. Sumner of the Cunard
line said:
''Our business will go on as usual
without any fear of such action as ia
threatened by the Germans. There is
nothing at this time to call for the
cancellation of any of our sailings"
"A representative of the French line
made a similar statement.
Il am very much interested in this
new move of Germany's," said Harold
Sanderson, chairman of the board of
directors of the International Mercan-
tion was not altogether unexpected.
but do not think Its effect will be i'm
portant. There will. no doubt, be other
submarine raids such as that off Liver
pool last week. but it will make no DIFF.
ference. Liverpool will be kept an
open port"
Sailings Not Cancelled.
William Van Doom Of the Holland
America line said:
II have had no Instructions from the
other side to postpone any of our SAIL
ings, and such orders would certainly
have come if the situation were re-
garded as dangerous in Holland"
Il can't say at this time." said Philip
A. S. Franklin, president of the Allan
tic transport line and a director of the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pany. what effect this is likely to have
on the transatlantic liners. for the
proclamation is unexpected and its full
implication and actual force may not
be seen at once.
Il don't see that this new pronounce
ment means anything moro than what
we are already facing" said L. w.
Walther of the Scandinavian-Americ
line, for British waters and the neigh
boring seas have practically been in a
state of war from the beginning"

had concentrated correspondingly heavy
forces to resist the German advance.
So close were both sides packed in this
narrow space that the artillery became
practically useless. The battlefield
was a fiat plain unobstructed by either
trees or houses. The latter already had
been demolished by shelling. The Rus
slams met the German advance with
rifle fire and the bayonet, the first
lines struggling forward and backward
from trench to trench.
At some places the trenches were only
a few hundred yards apart. The closeness
of the line made the fighting extraordi-
narily sanguinary. Whole companies were
