Petrograd, Feb. 1.
On the 3ist ultimo, on the right bank of the lower Vistula, Russian cavalry broke through the enemy's position on the Bejum Lake Orshelev front. We captured several officers and some men.
We repulsed the Germans on the 30th ultimo between Lipno and Dobyzyn and the enemy on the Makov-Diblin front were thrown back to the Velche-Nasegnevo line, leaving many dead.
On the night of the 31st we drove out the Germans from the entrance of a sap in the region of Borzimow which the enemy had occupied on the 3ist; all the Germans there were bayoneted. We captured two quick-firers.
The Germans on the lst oconcentrated immense forces in the region of Zochacsew and advanced in dense masses with large reserves behind.
Details of the fighting in the Borzimow region on the 3ist are as follows: The enemy, by " concentrated hurricane fire, and by an impetuous advance, compelled one of our detachments to retire Other detachments of the Russian forces made a counter-attack, drove out the Germans from all the trenches they had occupied and inflicted heavy losses on them.
The Germans simultaneously made a sence of violent attacks on the Gumine-Moghely front. These attacks were repulsed until noon, but later the Germans entered part of our trenches. At two o'clock in the afternoon the Russians made a counter-attack, and in the evening only a small part of the Russian trenches and a farmhouse remained in the enemy's hands, Thus the German success proved of small value in comparison with their heavy losses. Our artillery inflict ed enormous lotses, some German columns being practically wiped out, while a whole line of German batteries was silenced.
Fighting continues in the Car-pathans. Although the Austrians brought up fresh forces we repulse ed all their attacks in the direction of Beskid-Vyshkof passes, while we are advancing successfully on the Polyanka-Lutovska front.
