REMARKABLE RUSSIAN FEROCITY. Petrograd, October 24. A wounded soldier relates that Uospmate fighting occurred in the region of Ivangorod. “The Germans held a strongly entrenched position in a hilltop. The Russians, without waiting for their artillery, reached ters, and hell was let loose, men stabbing, slashing, and clubbing.with rifles, and even tearing at each other with their teeth. A gigantic Russian captain dealt on every hand, and a regimental chaplain, carrying a cross, and ignoring the bursting shells, blessed file soldiers as they rushed into the battle. The Germans came in > r ensc masses, and the Russian artillery, which by this time had arrived, mowed down the enemy. Then the infantry made another tremendous onslaught, and dislodged the Germans.”

An Austro-German force unexpectedly crossed the lower courses of the San a couple of days ago, but a Russian bayonet charge drove them mto the river, and men, horses, and guns, floundering in the water, were swept away. Several detachments of Russians crossed to the left bank of the San. Official: The German retreat from the Vistula continues without cessation. The Russians captured a large quantity of ammunition at .Ivangorod. The Austrians are fighting desperately, particularly south of Prozenekel. There is no change in East Prussia.
