OFFICIAL REPORT
OF PETR0CRAD

Petrograd via London, April 80, 1.42
a. m.-The official communica ton is
sued tonight by the war office says:
ITO the north of the Niemen the
enemy advance guard having passed
RossIny, approached the line of the
River Dubisia yesterday morning. On
the whole front of our contact with
the enemy the artillery fire during the
past few days has become more in
tense and collisions between recon-
noitering parties are frequent.
West of the Niemen and north OF
the Narew the Germans on the 2Ith
and 2sth delivered isolated attacks at
many places, but none of a very de-
cisive character.
In the regions of Kalwaria and to
the north of Suwalki we checker an
enemy offensive without any particu-
lar effort.
Between the PISA and Skwa rivers,
during an attack in the sector of krucha-
Serefine, enemy forces advancing in the
marshy land came under the cross fire
of our machine guns and were driven
back in disorder with heavy losses. In
the region of the village of Tartak the
enemy unsuccessfully attempted to carry
our trenches by sudden attack. His at
tempts to make progress north of Przas-
lysz and east of Racionz and Drobine
were futile. Near StarouvZeba the Ger
mans, who opened an offensive, were i'm
mediately engaged in desperate battle.
I'm the Carpathians, near the Uzsok
pass, the enemy during the night of April
27-2S unsuccessfully attacked hill north
east of Lubnia. In the direction of Stry
the enemy delivered repeated desperate
attacks in the region of Goloueszko, but
all were successfully repulsed with the
bayonet.''
