The- struggle is still undecided, and iihe main battle line is unaltered. A portion of Yon Mackensen's army has ~bee& driven towards Lowicz, and another was hurled back to IJodz, and A third was terribly mauled and press•ed back beyond Fushin. . - Subsequently, during an attempt to i Jbreak through to the northwards, the Germans ran the gauntlet under a ■terrible fire from batteries to Lowicz and Sochaczew, where the Russians > received them with a frightful hail of r chrapnel and the bayonet. Then the «ut and battered enemy ran the gauntJet southward, where the Russian batteries, cavalry, and bayonets drove them back. The Germans made desperate at- , tempts to reinforce Yon Mackensen, -one' of whose sections rests on Drunskovalia (Zdunska-wola?), on the "Wartha, holding the road to Kalisch.
