ployes as will effectually prevent in the

was made in the case Of Van Camp"

under surveillance by the military au-
thorities no other action has been

RUSSIANS DEFEAT
PURSUING TEUTONS.
PETR0GRAD STATES
Officially Announces InfIiction
of Heavy Loss on Foes
Near Lyck.

PETROGRAD, February --latest
reports from the front in East Prussia
show that the German forces there
have been checked. the army OF Grand
Dake Nicholas having inflicted heavy
losses upon the Germans who had at
tackled our forces west of Iurburg in
the region of Lyck. Here the Germans
made a fierce attack and were re-
pulsed decisively. This is the first en-
counter since the Russians took up
their new lines. Official circles here
feel certain that Won Hindenburg will
be more thoroughly benten this time
than last. and that the capture of East
Prussia and it's permanent retention is
merely a matter of time.
Russian reinforcements have already
reached the n-w positions. which are
we'll fortified. and continued heavy
losses on the part of the enemy can be
expected.
Sian artillery successfully ombarded
the enemy's columns, which were NOV
ing in various directions, and a number
of them were dispersed.

BERLIN. via London, February 1s, II
p.m.-The success of the Germans in
East Prussia emphasizes, according to
the view held here. the quiet strategy
of Field Marshal Won Hindenbure.

Maj. Moraht's Comment.
Maj Moraht. the military critic of the
Tageblatt. calls attention to the fact
that the Russians had strongly fortified
their position, which. he points out
only enhances Won Hindenburx's tac-
tical achievement.
In the opinion of this critic, Grand
Duke Nicholas evidently intended to
carry out an offensive movement after
breaking the German lines, and hence

! effect upon the general Russian plans.
