waverinR gray columns Of Germans
still bearing forward. They came up
three times, during the night, each time
reaching the zone OF rife fire from the
trenches before being thrown back b.
the force of mere slaughter. Close to
the road n part OF them pushed up to
the barbed wire ENHANCEMENT in front
of tho Siberian trenches, and here the
next morning bodies lay piled up in a
mound four feet high. II was not till
the following afternoon that the sew
enth attack carried them into VIOLA
Zydlowiecka. The trenches here had
now been rsked with a practically I'M
ceasing shell fire for twenty-four hours
and the casualties were heavy.
The Germans had their plans COM
plete, as usual. Through q gap In the
line Of trenches they poured into zyd-
lowiecka, which was undefended by any
Russian troops. They occupied the vii
lage and factory, which is a consider.
able group Of buildings to the north OF
the village and a conspicuous landmark.
They were at work the same night
fortifying the factory, and kept up a
brisk enfiliding fire on the trenches to
either hand. II was their single sue
cess north Of the Bolimow road.
Russian Attack Wins.
All the German attacks were re-
nul.sd throughout the night and the
next morning saw the Russian coun-
fer attack inflict a smashing blow on
the Germans own model, which drove
thsm into and beyond the small VII
lage Of Borjimow, which now remains
in Russian hands. II is an advance post
which balances the German capture OF
Zydlowiecka. The same counter move
ment developed simultaneously TO Ihe
south Of the recaptured hamlet OF Gu
min and the village Of Shidlowska, the
latter being taken by the Siberians'
those specialists in hand-to-hsnd hght-
ing with the bayonet. The Germans
are still in the factory, which has not
vet been shelled by the Russians for
reasons which are not divulged.
While all this was proceeding, fight
,ng ut Rad,iwilow resulted In the Rus
sian, crossing the Rawka, taking three
lines Of German trenches and thrust
ing forward a reconnaissance as TAR
as Skirniewice, which is reported to Do
completely burned.
II Is certain that at many poinas on
the Rawka and Bzura the German nne
Of late DAYS has been greatly weak
ened by the withdrawal Of troops,
which have been sent either to the
south I, Austria or west to France.
The Russian organization for the
care Of wounded has worked at high
pressure to deal with the casualties:
At Guzon the beautiful chateau OF
Count Alexander Sabsnsky is receiv,,
ING hospital. Here came men wounded
at Gumin, Shidlowska and intervening
positions TO have their wounds dressed
and be removed at once to the great
hospitals at Zyrardow and warsaw.
For this work the Russians have q
splendid transport service OF both cars
and carts. The total of Russian
wounded exceeds 10000, but the num-
Der of killed is not yet established.
As always, the German losses are
much greater, and the result OF their
numerous attacks is that the snow 10
niled with their dead. An officer, who,
was at the taking of Borjimow said that
at one place the German dead STOOD IN
such a mass that they served for the
time as breastworks to the Russians
Large numbers Of prisoners have oeen
taken. many In very wretched cohdl-
ton. A great proportion Of the men
among them have frostbitten feet.
They state that the German soldiers
are suffering very much from the colo
and from lack Of bread and meat.
