GREAT BATTLE IN POLAND
Germans Endeayorine to Break
Through Russian Lines.

London, March 5.-The German
forces in Northern Poland are con-
centrating their efforts in the en-
deavor to break through the Russian
fortified lines near the Prussian from
tier by capturing the fortress OF Os-
sowetz, according to a dispatch from
Petrograd This battle, the outcome
OF which is regarded as of high inn
portance, is proceeding with increas-
ed violence The Germans on this
occasion have succeeded in bringing
up some of their heaviest and most
effective guns. including the great
sixteen-inch field pieces.
The opinion of Russian military Of
fiCers is that the Germans, having
been expelled from Przasnysz, their
only hope of successful execution of
their plans. which include taking the
position of their left flank by break
ing through the Russian line Of fort
resses. lies in taking Ossowetz. From
the character of the fighting it is evil
dent that the Germans have deter
mined to exhaust every effort to win
this point.
The Russian occupation of Kerjen.
announced oficially in Petrograd,
shows a slight advance on the north
ern front Kerjen lies on the left
bank OF the Amouleff river. twenty
miles northeast of Przasnysz. The
capture of this town is OF more than
local importance, since it signifies
failure of the German attempt to cut
on the communications OF the Rus
sian forces operating in the Przasnysz
district from those proceeding from
fMysxyniec toward Kolno.

putable ascendancy. The effect is
salutary in these local actions, of
which the Argonne is the theater, to
feel that more and more the enemy
is at our mercy and that our moral
superiority is assured.
We have obtained this result by a
series of limited operations energetic
ally carried out, and although the
German forces which confront us are
extremely courageous we feel that at
a given point and moment We are mas
ters and can do what we wish"
The statement gives the details OF
one of these engagements, which it
says occur daily and show the splen-
did ardor of the troops.

During these years, he asserted, the
roads had not earned what the courts
have held to be a fair rate of return

Mr. Wright called attention to the
fact that in 1910 the interstate COM

vances al that time. had said that if
the fears of the carriers at that time
should be realized subsequently the
commission will not hesitate to give
its sanction to increases which will
