RUSSIANS MAKING PROGRESS NEAR WARSAW.
SEVERE REPULSE OF GERMAN FORCES REPORTED.
DESPERATE FIGHTING ALONG VISTULA RIVER.
(Received October 23, 2 a.m.)
London, October 22. Advices from Vienna state that the battle in Central Galicia is rapidly growing in intensity. The Russians are making fierce efforts to capture Magierahil. Another message officially reports that the Germans towards Warsaw and the region north of the River Pilitja were repulsed, and are in full retreat, leaving the wounded lying within the area of the conflict. Positions, which they had fortified in advance, were abandoned. The Russians have energetically advanced along the whole front. The enemy are still resisting on the left bank of the Vistula, south of the Pilitja and as far as the San River. The Russians are gallantly holding the regions around Knosenitz, under heavy artillery fire. Below Przemysl, Austrian attempts to cross the San River prevented the Russians assuming the offensive. In the regions south of Przemysl the Russians repulsed the advance of numerous bodies of Austrians. The position in East Prussia is unchanged.
