TeutoniC Forces Try to Gain Ground With an Attack Across the
 TiruI Marsh
USE ARTILLERY FIRE.
Severe Weather on the Ru- manian Front Has Put a Stop to Those
 Operations

LONDON, Jan. 25.-The heaviest fighting now in progress in any of the areas is on the Russian front in tho Riga sector where the Ger. mans recently drove back the Rus. siaus a mile in the region of the great Tirul marsh. that long has barred the way to Riga for the Ger, man forces.
 Attempting to again advance over the frozen ground, which has made the effort in this swampy region pos siblc, the Teutonic army has sus- tained reverses according to a Pet rograd advice today.
 On the northwest of the Marsh they opened heavy artillery fire and then attacked but failed to make any hcadway against the Russian de- fense.
 Elsewhere there has been little but artillery and patrol fighting and en- tire quiet apparently prevails all along the Rumanian front owing to the severe cold winter weather.
