In the district of Jedwabnoxz the enemy is conducting trench warfare but in the exploding of mines we have continâ€" ually held the upper hand. On the Pissa and Shkawa rivers the whole enemy army attacked us hayâ€" ing first launched _ against us . reinâ€" forcements _ brought from France. Nevertheless we soon saw a complete German defeat in this sector for it took the enemy a week to drive back from the.village of Serwatka on the right bank of the Pissa our rearâ€" guard regiment, while the battle for the passage of Narew near Nouvigord has not even begun.; Near the mouth of the, Shkawa the enemy, _ thanks to the forest, sucâ€" ceeded in passing to our side of the river but we succeeded in preventing him from _ bringing his _ artillery across the Narew and at the point of the bayonet _ we annihilated some forces‘ which we deprived the protecâ€" tion of their artillery. The enemy then changpd the direcâ€" tion of his attack and now on the front betweel> Narew â€". and Ojey _ is making great eflorts to advance in a northeastern direction behind Ostroâ€" lenks, » During three days of fighting the enemy repeatedly hurled large massâ€" es of infantry against our trenches, but while suffering severe losses he advanced ‘only one in eight miles.
