, south. It was found necessary to push forward the s7th infantry division of the 2Oth A. c. to Kalvaria.
 This division prevented the river from
 being crossed at this point, but the enemy corps. which had managed to place some of it's units on the left bank, came out of the engagement without serious losses. The division remained
 in that neighborhood and was also placed under General won Mackensen's command.
 The 41st infantry division and the Austrian Third cavalry division were posted at the mouth of the Pilica and southwards to Kosjenice (35 and 55 miles southeast of Warsaw)
 The Guard R. c. had taken over the investment of Ivangorod (65 miles southeast of Warsaw.) This corps at

 SLEEPLESS NIGHT OF HORROR | I shall never forget the battle near Kosjenice. What actually happened
 was that four brigades were taken into
 the narrow bend of the Vistula, which had become a swamp owing to heavy : rain. The brigade in front of Ivan gorod had been thrown back by strong Russian sortie. 1 was afraid that the Russian attack might strike into the flank of those four brigades. which were very cramped in their defence as they had no room to manoeuvre. did not sleep a wink that night. The next morning ahe position before lvangorod did not apear so dangerous. As the Russians attacked, the fighting
 in the marshes near Kosjenice con tinued. All the troops who participated 1 in these engagements look back on | them with horror.
 In consequence of the northerly | march of the Guard E. C. the Land wehr corps had taken over the duty of watching the crossing near Novo Alexandria While the battle at Kosjenice was in full swing I received an airplane re- port that strong enemy forces had crossed the ViStula south of Ivangorod also. If this were the fact our posi- ton would have been exceedingly se- rious. The army command had no re- serves of any kind at it's disposal everything had been thrown in. It was
 lucky for us that this report proved false. The aviator had wrongly identi- fled the battlefield near Kosjenice as lying south of Ivangorod.
 Nothing particular wns reported from the Iandwehr corps. The Rus sians had been prevented from throw ing bridge aQross the river at Kasi- mierz, south or Novo Alexandria, and higher up the enemy was awaiting events. Our plan of securing the line of the vistuAa had succeeded, but Warsaw and Ivangorod still remained in the hands of the enemy, and he had ef- fected crossing, though bad one, nt kosjenice. north of Ivangorcd.
 In the next article Gen. Ludcndsrff describes how the Russian attacks near
 Warsaw and another Austrian collapse forced him to retreat hurriedly to the German frontier. destroying roads and railroads to~halt the advance of the Russian masses.
