New Russian Drive Near Prussian Frontier
Paris Aug 9 The American note on the Russian situation is being delivered to the French foreign office. Bolshevik attacks have breached Polish lines near the east Prussian frontier and Soviet cavalry patrols are sweeping north of Warsaw in a wide encircling movement. The center of the Polish front shows a large gap at Warsaw, with Prasnysz occupied as Bolshevik forces push toward Mlawa and Clechanow. Warsaw admits the loss of Prasnysz, and Bolshevik advance appears to continue with little opposition. Polish entrenchments lie east of Mlawa on the Warsaw Danzig rail line as soviet troops press forward. Northward, Polish lines south of Ostrov to west of Brest-Litovsk retreat while Soviets seize Sokolow and fight east of Sledlice. Pivgacac west of Brest-Litovsk reportedly falls under Bolshevik control of the road toward Brest-Litovsk and Blala. Further south, serious fighting and claimed Bolshevik successes continue.
