time they entered East Prussia
again.
But again the German strategic
railways proved their undoing. Hin
denburg concentrated at Thorn and
drove into the right flank of the Rus
sian main forces, throwing them back
on LODI. t
He advanced too far, however, and
when he had the Russian forces near
ly surrounded, he suddenly found Rus

tremity, the Russians say, he tele-
graphed for re-enforcements.
But before the re-enforcements
sent from Flanders arrived the Ger
mans had managed at frightful cost
to hack their way to safety. This was
the bloody battle of LODI.
Wins Second Victory.
With stronger German forces oppos-
ing them the Russians withdrew to
the line of Bzura, Rawa and Nida
rivers. At the same time the Aus
TRANS, attempting to debouch from
the Carpathian passes, were driven
back everywhere, leaving $4,000 pris-
Oners.
With January Hindenburg made .
third desperate attack on Warsaw.
For ten days, both night and day. the
Germans came on. Then, having lost
probably $4,000 men and the Russians
nearly as many, they gave it up.
Unable to reach Warsaw, Hindenburg
concentrated twice Siever's force in
East Prussia, and won his second |
overwhelming victory there. Enor-
NOUS captures OF Russians were made |
and the fortress of Gradno was at
tackled farther west, from Ossowets
to Pultusk. The Germans retreated |
to Mlawa and then tried to flank tho
Russians at Przasnysz, which city
they took. But the Russians again
fianked the thanking party, as they had
done at Lodz aAd won an important
success (February 22-28).
IN March and April; the Russians
pressed through the western Carpa-

Just when their future seemed bright

line in West Galicia and let through
enormous forces. ~
Pressing westward irresistibly, they
took the Russian Carpathian armies in
the rear. The latter tried to retreat,
but vast numbers were captured.
