means in desperate effort TO check

While this Is true, the Russians
are fighting south of Smorgon and in
Rumania, and fighting effectively in
both sectors. The Germans officially
say that their artillery has been able
to close only part of the breach
made in their lines south of Smorgon,
and in Rumania the Russians and Ru-
manians, in their recent success, took
1000 Germans, fifty-seyen guns
seventeen machine guns and ten
mine throwers. Thus, on both sides
