Germans Hurled Back
With Enormous Losses
By Associated Press

Petrograd, Aug. 10, via London
Aug. II, $50 A. M.-The following
official review was issued tonight fol-
lowing the receipt of details concern
ing the assault on Kovno which the
Germans undertook Sunday:
1.-The enemy began an attack on the
front of our works from the village of
Pipe to the Ellsenthal front on the
river Iessia. With siege artillery they
began a bombardment at midnight.
utilizing guns up to sixteen inches.
The hurricane of fire lasted not less
than two hours and our batteries an
swered energetlcally.
About O'Clock in the morning the
assaulting columns in close formation,
marched against our positions. BY a
concentrated fire, the explosion of
mines and gallant counter-attacks by
our troops the enemy was thrown back
along the whole of the front. The
weakened Germans, who suffered
enormous losses, were hurled back
into the neighboring ravines, where
they apparently began to prepare a
fresh assault.
Sunday noon the enemy's fire in
creased with terrible intensity, but this
protracted and destructive hurricane
from most powerful guns failed to
shake our troops, who firmly withstood
the hail Of projectiles showered upon
them"
