10000 Dead Germans Found
on Field After Night Battle

Zyrardow. Jan. (by courier to Pet
rograd). Once again Poland has seen
great German general attack along
the whole line OF .ho B2ura and RaWka
positions from Gradow TO Rawa. For
thirty-siX hours the battle shifted like
a moving fame in a long line. and now
that its intensity has abated it is clear
that the German purpose has again
failed Of ccomplshment. At several
points. in fact, the Russian line has ad-
vanced.
The key to the German mentality
which inspires these attacks. so waste
full in the lives of soldiers and so in
effectua in their general result, is
found in the records of this struggle.
Along the courses of two little rivers
upward Of one hundred attacks IN con-
siderable force have been noted, and
not a single one resulted in shifting
the imperturbable Russian infantry
from trench. each of which having
nevertheless been accompanied by
ghastly loss to the Germans.
A fight characteristic Of the opera
.ions on this front took place last week
west of Gradow. where the German at
tack was exceptionally heavy through
out New Years Day. eliminating in an

Throughout the day they shelled the
Russian trenches. spending ammuni-
ton with their customary layishness.
The days Smelling justified the Rus
sian opinion that of the German forces
the artillery and the cavalry are the
weakest arms and the infantry the
best. The positions have not been
greatly disturbed by the day-long
shovering of shrapnel. and the Rus
SLAMS are more than ready for the at
Jack.
Come in Dense Columns.
On this front infantry attacks are
usually in line. but OF this night they
came up in dense columns. The Rus
sian guns got 70 work promptly, with
the fuses Of their shells reduced so
that they burst almost at the guns
mouths. while from the trenches
steady. schooled infantry fire tore gaps
in the masses of the enemy.
At Gradow the Russians were ut
terly outnumbered. To this extent the
German concentration of forces was
successful, but no further. They sue
ceeded in reducing the Russian tactics

The Germans determined efforts 10

Bolimow by charges have given way to
tactics only employed against regular
fortresses. one novel method Of at
tack now employed is TO advance under
the protection OF bullet-proof steel

gradually by crawling riAomen.
Driven Out by Bayonets.
Some success. which was only tenn
porary. was secured by night attack
under cover Of these bullet-proof
shields. but before dawn the Germans
were driven out Of the Russian trenches
by bayonet attacks, losing heavily.
Those left alive were taken prisoners
and five MaNims were captured.
This took place before daybreak on
Wednesday. From accounts which have
been received il IL evident that this
portion Of the Russian trenches was
attacked BY a regiment, but no infor-
nation has been issued as TO how many
men of the regiment actually reached
and won the Russian trenches. II
would have been an invaluable posi-
ton. for a few guns mounted on the
steep hills here would have enfiladed
the Russian trenches.
The Germans have nowhere as yet
met Russian bayonct attacks with any
success. They occasionally capture at
heavy cost portions of the Russian
trenches. but within few minutes or
few hours they are butchered by Rus
sian bayonetS with a certainty which
suggests that the surrender OF the
trenches is perhaps as often as not. a
mere ruse de guorre on the part o. the
willy Russians.
For the last three days the official
news about the conflict in the principal
theatre of war on the Russian front IN
Galicia has been one unvarying phrase
that no material changes have taken
place there.

was the limit Of .heir success.
Three Russian officers here. who
We're wounded during the counter-at-
tack. say that five machine guns we're
at work on them as they left their
trenches IN n charge. One OF the OIL
iiccrs was shot through the chest as he
climbed the bank OF the trench. the
secN1d got perhaps twenty yards be-
fore being hit in the head. The third,
howeer, led his men into the German
trench. OF the Russians who set out
only eighty were alive and unhurt when
they reached the German trebch, but
this eighty took it with the bayonet,
killing about five times the r own num-
bcr OF Germans.
At Gradow on the morning OF Janu-
AIRY the ground resembled the strewn
battlefield of Brzezny. where ruthless
generals sacrificed their soldiers ike
water. There were heaps and ridges
of gray-clad dead. Gradow is only one
single point in the line which the Ger
mans assaulted. yet here alone they
lost upward of 5000 killed.
Losses Are Enormous,
The same night they attacked the
Of Guzow. Radziwillow, Mszczonow ana
Rawa, and in every place they were
beaten back with heavy losses.
Estimates from various sources. some
official. state that their losses for
single nights abortive fighting, giving
them nowhere an advance of single
ward of territory. were assuredly not
fewer than 10000 dead on the ground
and three times as many wounded or
dead within their own lines.
Thus through the fog Of imminent
events certain happenings are dimly in
dicated. Roughly speaking, the next
fortnight gives Germany her final op-
portunity. During that time they may
pour out lives with the same hope as
hitherto. of making an impression on
the steadfast line Of Bzura and Rawka.
and then the last glimmer Of hope OF
success in Poland will vanish.
Austrians Crushed.
I'm the highest opinion the Austrian
army is crushed. and it remains only TO
clear I'D the mess il has made, after
which again the great advance on poor
dim. beautiful Cracow will proceed.
