‘ Petrograd (official): During
the last three days the enemy
has made enormous, but unsuc-
cessful, attempts to dislodge us
' from the sector of the Narew
river. At Jedwabno we hold the
upper hand in the trench war-
‘fare. At Pissa and Skwa rivers
we repulsed attacks by the whole
army and reinforcements, suc-
. cessfully prevented the bririging
- of ‘artillery across the Narew,
and annihilated the advance force
with the bayonet, compelling the
“enemy to withdraw his reinforee-
ments, .

-The enemy is now making
great efforts behind Ostrolenka,

London: The development on
{the Russian front is discussed at
length in this morning’s news-
papers. The general agreement
is that the situation around - both
| Warsaw and Riga has become
more menacing and that. it will
be. impossible ‘to: save Warsaw.
The -latest news, according to
some of the newspapers, suggests
that the German entry into the
Polish capital will not be much
longer delayed.. The Mail says
the. Germans are closing in on
Warsaw and threatening’ beth
the double track railways | which
connect: Warsaw with Russia, A
despatch to the Times, from Pet.

week the. Russians have beén do-
ing. their. utmost to save: Warsaw,
more.;: for the sake of the: Poles
than for their: ‘own Strategic ad-
‘vantage, . -Butit is feared they
must: abandon ‘their’ ‘gallant at-
tempt,. because the Germans are
still bringing’ up: reinforcements
to the Narew. front. .

The “Petrograd correspondent
of the Daily News, who expects.
the German. main blow. will, be
delivered between Warsaw. and]
Ivangorod, says that the situation
is calm. A ‘voluntedr. postal |
