The Long .heralded Offensive

Warsaw, Russian Poland, Feb. 8, Via
London, Las P. M-The reaction
which followed the cessation of the
fierce German aggressive in the region
of Humin and the transfer of German
troops northward to initiate a nAw de-
fense in the East Prussian country
which lies between Tilsit, Gumbinnen
and Lipno has provided the Russian
forces in Poland, in the opinion of Rus
sianN military observers, with an oppor-
tunity for the long-heralded offensive.
Ever since the German attack on
Borjimow, which had it's climax Thurs
day, the number of German troops be.
tween the junction of the Bzura river
and Bolimow has been decreasing. Fol
lowing their failure to make material
headway against the Russian line which
protected Huminan and Borjimow, the
Germans moved their attack to the
right bank of the Vistula, northwest of
Warsaw, between Lipno and Sierpac.
This offensive, however, was not COM
parable in intensity to the former, and
it evidently was only an interlude to
mask an important transfer of German
troops in the direction of East Prussia.
New Russian Move Successful?
The new Russian advance, according
to the latest and most reliable informa-
tion.reaching Warsaw, already has been
successful between the BZura junction
and Vitkovitze, where they have taken
number of German trenches and
started the enemy upon precipitate re-
treat, in which tie Germans left a
large number of pieces of artillery be-
hind them.
Russian military observers in Poland
find in the disorder and disorganization
evidenced in this German retreat in
creasing proof of what they call the
weakening of the German morale.
Although it is expected here that
the Russian offensive will now extend
over the whole Polish front, even the
most sanguine do not look for any
aggressive, since the Russians have de-
tailed information of elaborate Ger
man Notifications extending from the
| Vistula south to Skierniewice and Law
ka. The general concensus of military
opinion in Warsaw to-day, however, is
that the Russians will retake western
Poland in the early spring.
Great tribute is paid here to the con-
tinued mobility shown by the German
! forces in their lightning changes of
front. In the recent transfer to east
Prussia the Germans made use of its
enormous number of automobiles for
moving their soldiers. They are in pos
session of 10000 motor ears, each ac.
commodating 20 men with food and
ammunition and capable of speed OF
16 miles an hour.

Of that amount, the directors, all sub

order that the bank may be reopened

The statement is made that the dead
cashier had discounted the paper of
three customers of the bank without
the knowledge of the directorate, and,
in fear of the disgrace attending the
disclosure Of his act, he sought death.
Up to this time, it is said, evidence

all of the three are now engaged in an
effort to make good the overdrafts,
in the hope of escaping litigation, which
would lay bare their responsibility for
the banker's death.
