A BATTLE OF ALMOST UNPRECEDENTED DESPERATION.

Toxnos, Aug. 5, 3.70 u.m. The Germans to the east of Pineviesz. having concentrated their forces, continue their counter-offensive. The fighting here during the last few days has been of a toetuating character. Persistent enemy attacks in the direction of Kolno Lonza on the Narew front were repulsed but the Hussins in the Dstrolenku sector withdrew to a new front, fighting all the way. The Germans, who crossed the Vistula near Matzorvitze between Warsaw und Ivangond delivered a series of attacks on August 2nd, vainly endeavouring to advance. The Russians near Ivangorod, in accordance with their plan of operations, are gradually shortening their front on the left bank of the Vistulu. Large viety forces on the right bank of the Vieprz between Choim and Modava on the 3rd tried to pierce the Russian front. The battle bere was fought with almost unprecedented desperation. Three Russian divisions held the trenches all day under a neveryeasing bail of projectiles, and then at nightfall counter-attacked and averthrow dense German masses who retreated in disorder.
