Russians Fight Gamely to the End in Warsaw Siege
Berlin dispatch reports German forces under von Schulz and von Gallwitz breaching Warsaw defenses as Bavarian troops led by Prince Leopold push through outer and inner lines. Russian rear guards delay but suffer heavy losses with 22 officers and 841 soldiers captured, 17 machine guns seized, while the German advance encircles the Polish capital from north, south, and west. The campaign, begun in May with Mackensen’s Galicia drive, tightens around Warsaw as Austro German troops press from multiple routes toward the Vistula and Bug rivers, threatening to eliminate Russian offensive power.
