ing another attempt on the part OF the
Germans to break through the hus,
sian lines at anew point, now tnat
their offensive on the Vistula has neeh
checked. the Russians are reinforcing
ther entire front from the extreme
north TO the Pilica river. Especially
strong contingents have been sent to
the lines along the Niemen and the
Bzura rivers. This action is taken
because of the realization that the
Germans must win through within the

their offensive in Poland until next
summer. II is obvious that General
Won Hindenburg realizes this fact as
