It lias not dis turbed Kus-iau activity in the region south of the Niemeii, where, accord ing to iuforiiiatiou received here, cop sisteut Mioccses are being won by the troops of Kmperor Nicholas. The German movement in the llaltie provinces, which i do-igned to sever Vommiimcattnn with Lilian ami thus cripple the Hii-nan right wing, is not legnrdetl seriously hy the ltusiniis, iiiiiiuuch as the flooding nf tho Nie meii entirely separates the Germans frnm their bae and frnm the other German armies. Tho two fields of operations on each side of tho river are therefore as isolated irom each other ns though they were n thousand miles apart, although actually they are adjacent. ltussiaii observers characterize the German advance, north of the Niemen as a "comic opera nffair' deigiied to induce the Hussions to transfer hurriedly troops to that region. At points to tho southward, partic ularly Ostrolenkn, Serafin, Kdnovor itz and the whole region between the rivers Skwn and l'tssa, tho German offensive has assumed n more form idable character. It is marked by in tense nnd prolonged artillery fire. On Friday the Germans fired 30,000 shells in this district. This was fol lowed by infantry battles in which tho Germans, after suffering heavy losses, reached tho ltussiaii trenches only to be finally repulsed. E ATTACK ON HILL 60 LONDON.
