The Morning Post's Petrograd correspondent states that the Germans -on Sunday had a temporary success in the country east of Borjimoff, where they have lost tens of thousands since December 22 by the system of sending ten companies to certain annihilition in the hope that the eleventh •would succeed. When this system filled the Germans tried sapping. Early on Sunday morning they c 3 ncentrated all their artillery between Scklaczew and Bolimow before two miles of trenches at Borjimoff. where sis thousand Gerpians were killed in the previous week. A humcane of fire enabled them to rush the trenches. The Russians brought up additional artillery, and by a series of bayonet charges later on Sunday recaptured practically the whole of the two miles. The German losses were appalling.
