Petrograd.—The following official
communication
issued from gen-
eral headquarters
"On the East Prussian front, at
Stalluponen, around Angerburg and
near Johannlsburg, our troops are
making a successful progress in the
fighting. The action continues in the
region of Soldan and Heidenburg,
where we have progressed, notwith­
standing the desperate resistance of
the enemy.
“On the left bank of the Vistula the
battle proceeds, developing along a
front from Plock (Poland) to the river
Warta. On the front between Kalis*
and Wlelan the enemy has withdrawn.
In the neighborhood of Czenxtochowa
and toward the south the enemy haa
attempted an offensive, but this has
failed.
