A despatch from London says: The vast •conflict between'the Rus- sians and the .Austro -German arm- ies in Central and Soiith Poland and in West Galicia has reached a temporary estate of deadlock; ac- cording to an official communica- tion from Petrograd, which is chiefly notable' for the information' that :Marshal von Hindenburg'e forces have adopted sapping tactics on the Bzura-Rawka, front` west of Warsaw. Saps are being advanced by the. Germans in ;several places towards the Russian; positions, according to the report. In this' work they are making use of 'steel shields; to .pro- tect themselves from the rifle fire of the 'Czar's troops in the' nearby trenches, It thus appears that the battle in Poland, which began as a field operation of great magnitude, is quickly being• converted into siege warfare. almost identical with -that which ler so many "weeks has been', proceeding on the Aisne and the - "see in the western war theatre.
