THE WARSAW ATTACK

Desperate Fighting.

SUCCESSFUL COUNTER-ATTACKS Pebrograd, July 28.

Official. The position between the Dwina and the Niemen is unchanged. The enemy south-west of Kovno were repulsed on Monday beyond the Vesia river. The fighting was characterised by increased energy on Sunday and Monday from Dobiolenka to Novo Geogievsk. The Russian counter-attacks on the left bank of the Narew held up the enemy. There is intense fighting in the forest east of Rojany. The enemy brought up enormous reserves on Monday above Sebotsk. There have been successful Russian attacks on both banks of the Narew. Some enemy detachments were compelled to hastily retreat to the village of Zeppelin, and we captured 700 prisoners and several maxims. Our armoured motor cars repelled the enemy’s counter-attacks. The enemy’s‘attempt to approach the Nadazhyn-Piasechino front, on the left bank of the Vistula, was repulsed by a successful bayonet charge. The enemy on Monday captured a portion of our trenches in the of Rokolony, Maidan, and Ostrouski, but a counter-attack expelled them. Stubborn fighting occurred at Sokal, where a portion of the enemy crossed the river.
