London.— A graphic account of the

“The Germans appear to have fallen

sian army was transferred to the right
bank of the Niemen river and the fol
lowing evening the Germans ap
proached the stream. The next day,
seeing no signs of opposition, the Ger
mans constructed pontoon bridges and
completed this work without molesta

Cleverly Screened.
"It was only when the troops were
pouring across In fancied security that
dosens of Russian guns cleverly
screened, opened their concentrated
fire on the crowded bridges Before
the blast of shrapnel and machine gun
projectiles the Germans were swept
Into the river by hundreds. Speed

continued.
"At last, the German* thinking they
had got the measure of the Russian
gunners, made another attempt to
throw thetr troops across. But this
time aleo they had no better luck and
not one of the soldiers who stepped
upon the bridges either reached the

machine guns.
“With the fall of evening the Ger
man batteries were silenced one after
the other by the steady and well
directed fire of Russian artillery. The
enemy then fell back elgtot miles, pur
sued and harrassed by Cossacks, who
had crossed the river on the German
bridges.
Awful Carnage.
“According to one socount no fewer
than 20,000 German corpses were car

“In the fight at Srednlkl, on the Nie

large. An eye witness of the battle
says that in the river and on the banks
no fewer than 8,000 Germans perished.
On the opposite shore from the city the
bodies of 1,500 Germans were lying un
burled for some days afterwards.”
