Russians Fight Across Front From Baltic To Galicia
The Russian front stretches from the Baltic north to Bessarabia in the south as German and Austrian forces press. Von Buelow advances toward Riga after crossing the Windau River, while Hindenburg’s fourth Warsaw drive pushes Russians back toward the Narew. Mackensen resumes movements in southern Poland toward the Lublin Chelm rail line, with Austro German offensives west of the Vistula and along the Dniester in Galicia. Russians resist stubbornly but may have to evacuate Warsaw as northern and southern pressures grow. The Baltic, Przasnysz, and Galicia fronts show heavy fighting and strategic recalculations in Moscow and Berlin.
