 "The Germans made prodIgious et- firts. and attempted to envelop on the ice Of Lake Dussia our right wing. Moving over the ice. the Germans at- tempted to turn our position in the passage between the two divisions Of Lake Simno.
 "The enemy gained some minor sue cesses at first but we twice counter attacked the Germans who had pene- trated 10 our rear near villages of Zee brzlsld and Metelitz. annihilating them
 "The continued lull along the Bzura- Rawka front has convinced the Rus sian commanders that large part Of the German troops on the left bank of the vlsUtla have been sent to Ga licia and the Carpathians. German artillery has also lessened, and it is believed the Germans are now bus banding ammunition"
