GERMANS TAKE CITIES
EAST OF WARSAW
German Press Service.
BERLIN, via Sayville, Aug. 10.—
.Since the taking of Warsaw Thursday,
the German armies in the east have
made continual advances to the east
of the Polish capital and the beaten
army of the Russians has been forced
steadily back until the Germans are
now in possession of much territory
east of the Vistula and also several
important towns. Praga, an important
railroad center east of Warsaw was
taken by the Germans, the Russians
offering little opposition and continu
ing their retreat to the eastward when
closely pressed by the German troops.
The German forces under under von
Hindenberg have also captured the
strong fortress of Sieroki near the
Junction of the Narew and Bug rivers
east of the Vistula. The position was
taken -only after a severe struggle,
wherein the Russians lost heavily. The
huge army of the enemy is completely
demoralized and the capture of a large
portion in the immense sweeping move
ment of the Germans, now under way,
is considered inevitible. The German
surrounding movement is proceeding
with far greater rapidity than expect
ed and the General Staff is Confident
that success will crown the effort to
cnpture the entire force of the enemy.
The Southern section of the Russian
army is entrapped and although main
taining a vliiant defense against the
Austrians can hardly escape without
suffering the capture of the greater
portion of the troops. Since crossing
the Wieprz, the Arch Duke’s army has
taken possession of Rukow and Mesh
irjetsehe, both of which are of ex
treme stratematlc value in the defense
of Warsaw from the east. Six thou
sand troops were taken In the cap
ture of the towns and twenty train
loads of provisions and a large number
of cattle also fell into the hands of the
Germans. The Russians arc severely
opposing the advance on Riga and the
army of von Buelow is holding its po
sitions west of the city. Heavy fight
