attacks set in. They were carried close up to the lines of wire of
the German defense. Enough light, however, was shed by the searchlights

depression in the ground. There they were held by the beams of the
searchlights until daybreak. Then they surrendered to the German

On the 8th of March, 1915, General von Gallwitz again tried an
offensive with fresh forces which he had gathered. It was thwarted,
however, on the 12th, to the north of Przasnysz. The Germans estimated
