Retreating After Fighting 10 Ena-

One of the most furious battles of the war is. now at
its height along the Russo-German front west of Warsaw.
Large bodies of German troops have been brought up for
Field Marshal von Hilldcuburg’s third desperate effort to
batter a way through the Russian line. The attack is
centered near the Polish viilage of Borjimow, around
which for the last few days has been raging. a battle that
for intensity compares with 'the struggle in Flanders
earlier in the war.‘ Official statements makepo mention
of the extent of the losses, which judging from‘thre‘ nr
ture of the fighting. must be enormous. ‘
“ a” A communication from the‘Russjagl War Offlcccboday’? a W
says that along a section—cf: the frontraboutr six “ lime? ' I
long the German's brought 'ubtno less than» 84,000 men, . I’
supported by one hundred batteries of "artillery. In com-
pact lllasscs these troops were buried against the Rue- = I
slam positions. A ' ~
. The‘Petrograd statement asserts ,that-éthcse attacks "
were broken up and that the Russians assuming the of: . I:
fensive in turn, captured German trench‘cS'and occupied,
. two villages.
. In the Carpathians the fighting is hardly less severe.
The Petrograd War Office admits that the Russians rc-
treated in one section of this front. after fighting te'n
successivccngagcments with bayonets. Elsewhere Rus-f‘ .
sian successes are claimed . . '
The action of the German Admiralty in declaring
within the war zone the waters surounding ~ England.
Scotland and Ireland, is supported enthusiacticaily‘by the
German press. The Berlin Post states that “men and
freight notonly on British ships, but under a neutral flag
arc domed to sink.”
The German official communication of today docs
.7 not support the claims of the Russians of successes on
the Warsaw front, stating that their attacks were re-
pulsed. , . .
There were no engagements of importance along “10'
western front yesterday. ‘ _ ‘ ‘
