ARMIES MOVE TOWARD WARSAW.

BERLIN, Jan. 10.-Three great German armies commenced combined attacks today upon various Russian defenses of Warsaw, Poland, in a desperate effort to capture that city Another army is being moved from Thorne, Prussia, into Poland to aid the attacking armies.
 If the attack is the success that it is expected to be, the Russians will be forced to withdraw their armies south of Warsaw, which will then be cut off from communica- tion with the other Russian lines. If the attack is a failure, then, the German commanders declare, the Russians will probably threaten the German line of communication along the Piiica river. Thus the move ment is one of much importance and will determine if the present invasion of Poland is to become success or a failure.
 As part of the cooperative at tack on the Russians today. Gener- al von Hindenberg has started to move his army along the Bzura river.
