ern front. Kovel was a junction point
for six railroads and three of these
lines are brought within the Polish
area of control by it's capture.

on through a surprise attack on the
Poles. which forced them to withdraw
from Seyny. The reports indicate that
the Lithuanians are advancing in the
direction of Augustowo.

calling up five new classes which is
estimated to bring into service more
than 200, 900 men. The classes called
are from 1889 to 1885, inclusive.
