only a few hours too late TO catch the
entire army. Most OF the units of the
Russian force, however. were bagged.
The delay which enabled the rem
nant to escape was due to nature. The
line. Of advance of the southern col
umn lay through the belts of swamps
which form a natural defense of the
Russian frontier. II is almost with
out roads and troops attempting to
use the cross country trails became
almost hopelessly begged. The cor.
respondent saw columns of infantry
many of whom had passed through
mires more than ankle deep. De-
tachments of soldiers assisted in drag
ging the guns forward through the
mud but their progress was extremely
slow.
Nature" said the commander OF
one of the German corps engaged to
the correspondent, always helped the
Russians Two days of hard frost and
we should have had every man."
Right Wing Gets Heavy Work.
The correspondent accompanied the
right wing of the German armies en-
gagged and it was to these troops that
the heaviest part Of the fighting fell.
The left wing, sweeping down from
the north was called upon most for
leg work to accomplish marches Of
forty miles daily In pursuit of the
Russians who fled after the four days
engagement on the MaZurian lakes.
The battle in the south was of
unique character. Again nature aided
no RnGCiang Wag fOnpbt In "A
driving snowstorm, a fierce cutting
wind driving the flakes into the faces
and eyes of the advancing Germans
until they could hardly see.
When the Germans came to grips
with the Russians they found their
rifles so covered with ice and the
muzzles so choked with snow that the
weapons could not be fired. The troops
and these were young troops of one
of the newly formed corps, were left
only with their bayonets but they
stuck to their work despite heavy
losses.
The Russians were assuming the
offensive when artillery. which hith-
erto had been unable TO get up through
the forests to the south of the MAJ
urian lakes arrived just in time and
turned the scale. The troops OF this
column pressed forward along the
fairway only a dozen miles wide be-
tween the Mazurian lakes and the
Russian frontier. driving the Rus
slams before them, but they were
forced to turn three times to beat off
the flank attacks from the south.
The Russian cOmmander-in=c =chief
made desperate efforts to come TO the
help Of this army whose plight by
now was recognized.
