OFFICIAL. Petrograd, December 17. Official.—The Germans made obstinate attacks on the left bank of the Vistula, mainly towards Kernoti. We were obliged to resist attacks near Sochatshev, under conditions of local disadvantage, and retreated slightly. Our counter-attacks elsewhere along the front held the enemy in his positions. Progress of the Austrians in the Carpathians has been checked. -'
