LONDON, Aug. s.--The German
official report tonight claims that
the resistance OF the Russians has
been broken between Lomza and the
mouth of the Bug river. Thus
whether the Russians have been de-
feated or have fallen back voluntar-
lily to new position. one of the BIT
terest battles that has been fought
since the commencement Of the war
has ended.
For Just three weeks the Germans
under the supreme command of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg have been
trying to force this front, which
usually is referred to as that OF the
Narew, and TO cut off the Russian
armies In their retreat from warsaw.
That not until three days after the
evacuation of Warsaw has this line
given way leads British critics to the
conclusion that the Russian with
drawal was a voluntary one and that
Grand Duke Nicholas. commander-in-
, chief OF the Russian forces, certain Of
the safety OF his Warsaw army, has
abandoned his struggle on the
