THE RIVER BUG
GERMAN EFFORTS AT BRIDGING A 'he River Bug, over which the Germans have been striving to throw bridgeheads, if they have not succeeded in building them, according to news from the Polish front, is a tributary of the Vistula and rises in Eastern Galicia to the east of Lemberg (or Lwow, as the Poles call it). It then flows north-west to Brest-Litovsk, which is roughly west of Warsaw, and finally swings round north of the city and takes a westerly course, soon making a junction with the Vistula 'and flowing along the boundary of the Polish Corridor to the sea. It should not be confused with a river of the same name in European Russia. Any advance on Warsaw from the south-east would involve a crossing of the Bug; so would an advance from the north along the KonigsbergWarsaw road.
