west has forced it's way across the
river Angerap and has driven the
Germans from the town of Gross Me-
Gunishken on the west bank the Rus

height along the Russo-German front
west of Warsaw. Large bodies OF
German troops have been brought up
for Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
third desperate effort to batter a way
through the Russian line. The attack
is centered near the Polish village OF
Rorjimow, around which for the last
few days has been raging battle that
fer intensity compares with the strug>
Gle in Flanders earlier in the war. Of
fetal statements made no mention of
the extent of the losses, which, judg-
ing from the nature of the fighting,
must be great.
In the Carpathians the fighting is
hardly less severe. The Petrograd
war office admits that the Russians re-
treated in one section Of this front
after fighting ten successive engage
ments with bayonets.

OH both sides have been very heavy.
From the Argonne to the Aisne the
artillery duels cOntine 1t is reported
that the Germans are again massing
their forces along the sector north
and east of scissors, and this is be-

exchanges, in which it is stated that
the French gunners have had much
