From all sides except the east}
Teutonic armies are continuing
their concerted pressure on War-
saw, the fate of which still hangs
in the balance.
Direct assaults upon the tangle
of fortresses protecting the city;
are weakening the defenses, ac-
cording to the claim of the Ger-1
mans. They are hammering es-
pecially hard upon Ivangorod,.
where the guns of the Teutonic?
forces are declared to be playing
on the strategic railroad lines
which run southward through
Lublin and Chelm.
_. South of Lublin the battle still
lirages fiercely. No claim is made;
from the headquarters of any of
the belligernts that a definite re-A-
suit has been achieved there. _
To the northeast of the Polish
capital, along the line of theA
Narcw, Field Marshal von Hin- g
denbergs forces are pressing hard '
upon the Russian bridge head at
Rosen. Petrograd is silent as
to the outcome of the attacks.
