German Victory in
East Prussia Over
-.'"Russians Decisive
BBRLIN. Feb. IS.-(V!a I-ondon.)-The
morning papers hail tha victory ' In E&st
-Prussia particularly as removing further
danger of an invasion of Ujat province.
They point to the Russian report -of the
battle1 as an Indication of -tha complete
ness of ,ths defeat, ss it sdmlts that the
Russian are falling back to the protec
tion fit their chain cf fortresses. . ,
Thevvictory is especially prised because
of. ths frustration of plans for a strong
offensive which the . Busaians are be
lieved to. have been preparing In this
region.
. The capture of IH.floO prisoners reported
In ths Oemian official communication
means thst practically sn entire army
oorpa' has been put out of the fighting.
The fact thst the number of guns cap
tured Is comparatively small ' Is com
mented on In some euartere as Indicating
that ths Russians, who are said already
to have lost a 'third of their artillery
through capture, era now Insufficiently
equipped In this arm of the service.
Ths Lokal Anselftar's military Cubtribu-
tora says, Jn commenting on the results
in Kaat Prussia:
'We believe that the Russisn general
staff is not fsr astray wrhen it assumes
that our troops in Cast Prussia ,hav
been reinforced."
The press expresses hopes for further
good news-, from ths battle still proceed
