GERA! ANS DEPEND ON FORCE OF NEMBEay A LIFE AND DEATH STRIP'!GEE PETROOEAD, Feb. fl. The German attempt to .force the defence of Rorjimcfff by ;-shoei.' weight,, using ibifanltry as cavdlry wore used in old days, has hitherto .failed. The formation is ivnpr<p?i?d.nhted siu.ee the Macedonian Phalanx. One hundred and forty thousand infantry and a hundred batteries were employed on a sevenmile front, advancing sixteen deep. Several divisons were massed so'id in one place less than 1200 yards wide. The Germans christened them the “divisons of death.’’ A scales of low hills behind the front facilitated the extraordinary massing of artillery. The Germans have' never been more prodigal in blood wad ammunition. They fought day and night incessantly. A"on Hindenburg nbanmVjned military science, relying eololy on the reckless expenditure of lives and a .hurricane of shells. Supreme attacks were made on ’ Tuesday on the Rawka. after the Russian artillery ’s day of unceasing .slaughter. The Russians counter-attacked on Tues,day night, .and on Wednesday therewas fierce Jhand-to-Ifand fighting every five hundred yards. The enemy were, driven across the Rawka. At Tollachidrowslra, the Prussian Guard., from Lewie/., whom the Emperor ordered to Show the way to' .Warsaw, were driven back across the Rawka. Fighting continues unabated.
