The counter-offensive was success
full from the start The attack on
Novogeorgievsk was stopped at the

great gaps in the ranks of the ad-
vancing reds. They came doggediy
on until within machine gun range,
when a hailstorm of bullets moved
them down in great windows. As
they crumpled and began to give way
the Polish infantry charged, bayonct-
ing the retreating Russians. The
withfrawai became almost rout,
and Polish cavalry, taking up the pur-
Salit, drove the soviet forces back ten
ankles before they could reform their
ranks.
The drive Of the Poles continued
