RUSSIAN BEGIN' FURIOUS ATTACK GERMAN FRONT Roumania, Jan. 10. The furious Russian attack against the Teutonic wir.g is being made. The battlefront has been extended from Dvwinsk as far south as Sarocb, so that it is now about 200 miles long. The chief pressure is being made southwest of Rega, where the Russians are making a mighty effort to turn the teutonic line so as to roll op the front and open a way for a Russian drive in to east Prussia.
