It is impossible to describe all movements and counter-movements which characterized the Battle of the Vistula. In all the many battles of which this one great battle was composed there were continual changes of position, shifting of army corps and of batteries, taking and re-taking of towns and villages of which I cannot, of course, give a detailed description here. Even in the case of that portion of the battle of the Vistula which I shall call the battle of Warsaw there were so many changes from one place with an unpronounceable name to another place with a still more unpronounceable name that I would only weary the reader of the "North-China Daily News" if I attempted to give them all.
