Germans Claim Great Victory . In Battle 30 Miles From Warsaw' LONDOY, Dec. 18 [United Press].—The most desperate fighting ct th, tire eastern campaign is now developing on a line within thirty mia the city of Warsaw. i Berlin is celebrating what is accepted as a great victory over the Rus- & ns as the result of an official statement that the enemy's offensive! inst Posen and Silesia has completely broken down, * From Petrograd reports have come that the Russian lines south of the ula have been drawn back nearer Warsaw for ‘rategic reasons. It evident that the great battle upon which the fate of Warsaw may rest only now approaching a climax. The German official statement is regarded as covering the campaign from a defensive standpoint than an offensive. By forcing the Rus- 8 to retreat not only in Central Poland, but on the southern line, the ermans have relieved the danger of invasion of their territory, but the tle for complete supremacy is yet to be fought. By establishing their main position about Sochaczew the Russians retreated fifteen miles from the low-Lowiez line. ted to be vigorously shelling the Russ: n positions and the important road ‘town which the Czar's army ts now guarding has already been| ed. The German force engaged in the main advance upon Warsaw {s now to number more than 800,000 men. The Russians have even a greater farce and reinforcements are being poured into the battle region, Sochaczew is the last town of importance between the Germans and} raaw. The capture of this position would give them control of the rail | leading direct to the Polish capital, as well as the lines running wei 4 through Lowicz and to the German frontier. On the southern front the Russians claim to have checked the Austrians lvancing through the Dukla Pass from the Carpathians, but in this region well as about Cracow engagements of great importance are developing, Austro-German forces operating In the region of Piotrkew are be- ved to have driven the Russians back and by keeping these forces en: | have prevented reinforcements being sent northward The Germans must be held back from the Klelce-Radom line turther | ° protect the communications of the army about Cracow. The de- Tee of the German advance in the Piotrkow region and a victory at bacsew would probably be followed by a withdrawal of the Russians about Cracow.

SUSPECT BREAKS DOWN AFTER 12-HOUR GRILLING 43 net Baff returned indictments against Joe and Jake Cohen, the two poul- trymen named by James Moore in a statement made to the DistricteAt- torney. 5 They are charged with assault in the first degree. So important did Assistant District-Attorney Delehanty consider the indictments that he asked Judge Malone in Special Sessions to hold each in $25,000 bail. Ih default of that amount the Cohens were remanded to the Tombs. After requesting the Judge to continue the Grand Jury’s investigne tion until Monday, Mr. Delehanty announced that on Monday the men who actually killed Baff and the “higher-ups” who hired them would be under arrest. By that time the Police Department investigation, he sald, would practically be ended. : Earlier in the day Mr. Delehanty asked Judge Malone to reconvene 4° the Grand Jury, which had concluded its work for the day, at 4 o'clock. From 4 until 5.30 the jury considered the evidence on which the indiet- ments against the Cohen brothers were based. The eighth arrest in the Baff case, following, like the apprehension of the three Cohen brothers, upon revelations made to the District At- torney’s office by James Moore, was swiftly accomplished at 3 o'clock this afternoon. ‘ Benjamin Lewis, an ex-convict, less than three months out of Sing — Sing, where he served a term for robbery, was arrested at his home, No. ” 224 Throop Avenue, Williamsburg. He was taken to Manhattan imume- diately and detectives said his destination was the District Attorney's office. Lewis, said to be an intimate of Joe Cohen, the “boss chicken puller)” and recently employed under Cohen in the railroad terminals on the Jes sey shore, is reported to have been absent from the freight yards since the murder, That indictments would follow the meeting of the Grand Jury Delé ‘hanty himself gave nation early in the afternoon.’ He was asked what ‘had become of the three Cohen brothers, Joe, Jake and Harry. | “Hasn't the Police Commissioner told you that?” he asked. When told the Commissioner had referred questioners to him, the Acting District Attorney smiled and said: “] can tell you where they are better after the session of the Grand | Jury.” Assistant District Attorneys Deuel, |sumed the task of presenting the evidence before the Grand Jury. Yesterday afternoon came the first break in the conspiracy of silence which had surrounded the Baff case for the better part of the month, | While Assistant District Attorneys Deuel and Murphy were examining | the four suspects, Moore, Switzsky, Kolodin and Rosenstein singly im a {solated room in Police Headquerters Moore showed the first signs of breaking.
