I'KTROGUAD, February 24.? The im
portant change which has come over
the campaign in I'ohml can best bo
unuKPil by tiw military estimates of
tin' present disposition of the (icrnian
forces. They are believed now to have
barely 300,00ft men stationed at select
ed points outside their old positions
niong 'lie llr.uta ?i.id tiie Uawka. where
tin> Hussians are proceeding steadily
wiiii the destruction of the Germans'
elaborate underground cover.
General von 11 imb*nlmrg lias now in
tlie north. from Wloclawek stretching
enstward about parallel with the fron
tier. nearly l.000.0'>0 men. divided Into i
four armies, spread alonx ISO miles of'
front to near the Nlemeii. lie has enm- .
pb-tely reversed his plan, wliieli failed,
against tin- It/.ura nnil the Rawka.
Ten weeks of desperate onslaughts
upon thnt narrow front have convinced
him that, even by discounting his most '
appalling losses, nothing' would be'
gained by throwing great masses of j
troops into frontal attacks against the|
Russia lis.
lie has reconstituted his main east - !
era army, and is spreading it over a
fro,nt where there is ample space to
deploy, but lie is handicapned by the '
extreme scarcity of railways and by
the Russians having already s-ixed and
held positions essential to his plan. !
? hie of these positions is I?rr.asnysis. ?
which obstructs the chief rendezvous !
across the border by railway from i
1'russia. Another Is ISvdabo, which '
prevents the Germans from getting
near i'.obr. between the fortress of'
Ossowetz and i.omza.
Th?? German situation is made very
shah j- by the Russian aggressive from 1
Grodno, from combination with the
heroic lighters from General 1'iilmi- j
koff's force, which inflicted terrible
slaughter upon the Germans while
tliej were closing round it among the <
thick woods of Angustowo.
The Germans lost heavily on Mon
day In attempting to advance on
iCvdabo from above Ossowetz. A great
number of armored cars with quick
firers was brought on the scene, hut
when some of them attempted to leave
the highway to support the infantry
they sank, and were waterlogged in the
thawing fields. The Russian cars
fared better at Przasnysz. which is a
dryer region. Their tire helped to
drive the strong German column north
wa rd.
Bngagements there and to the west
ward with the Russian nriny which ad
vanced from Novo OeorRlevsk, are de
veloping formidable trials for the
strength of tlif Germans. Since they
have realized that It Is Impossible to
net at the communication linen behind
and above Warsaw, they are bringing
their entire energy into an attempt to
hold flown the main strength of the
Russian northern army.
