Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PETROGRAD, Jan. 12.—Plock, fifty-eight miles north-north
west of Warsaw, on the Vistula, is reported in a dispatch from
Warsaw to have been captured by German troops, after part of
the town had been destroyed. The Germans, advancing toward
Novo Georgevisk from the north and northwest, are said to have
effected a junction with those operating against Warsaw south of
the Vistula.
No official information as to the loss of Plock by the Russians
has been given out here, but it was stated at the War Office to-day
that the possession of Plock was not essential to the successful
waging of the Russian campaign in Poland.
Heavy frosts from the Baltic
Sea to the Carpathian Mountains
Lave made conditions more fa
vorable for military operations.
The Germans have seized the op
portunity for a renewal of their
attacks in the distriets west of
Warsaw between the Vistula,
Rawka and Bzura Rivers.
At the same time the Russians have
resumed their offensive in Galicla,
where torrential rains have caused a
lull in the operations against Krakow.
