Regiment after regiment, supported by great masses of artillery, have been flung against thc Russian lines. Both sides claim to have in- dicted heavy losses on their opponents and each reports progress. it is apparent, however, that while the Germans are' making every effort to get Hear Warsaw, the Russians for- the present are satisfied to hold their own and to inflict as heavy losses on their adversaries as possible. Near llolitnaw there has been fierce anti continuous fighting for weeks, and the Russians claim to have taken one of the villages for which tin; in-mips have been contending. Meanwhile, the Germans ltavn sent strong rein- forcements south to check the atl- vnnce of the Russians, who are rc- portod to be south ot’ the main range of the Ctirpttthians, anti are thus again overlooking the plains of Hungary. The Russian Emperor left for the front to-day, while the German _Ein- peror is expected to proceed there after he has concluded his visit to Wilheltushavcn, where he has been inspecting the fleet and bestowing iron crosses on the crew of submarine U-21, recently operating in the irish Sea. In the wt-st artillery continues to play the major part. Each side makes occasional attacks which, according to official reports, arc invariably re- pulsed. Tho surrender of Lt.-Col. Kemp and other rebels, who have been receiving arms _anti support from the Germans in South-West Africa, and with whom they have recently uuarrelled, and the expected surrender of Lieut.-Colonel Moritz. wlto has been able to remain in the field by thc same means, will probably bring to ttn and the South African Rebellion atitl enable General Louis liotha to pursue his design of invading German territory in Africa. lt in ofllelally announced that 1,165 British officers have been commis- sioned from the ranks since the out- break of thc war.
