BY THE RUSSIANS TO MAKE NEW PLANS, As the Advande of the Czar's Anniés Left the Main German Position Exposed To Danger. London, Jan. 22- Frederick Ben- nett, Daily News correspondent at Petrograd, telegraphs: "With the spread of the. Russian advance through North Poland stret- ching across a line from Mlawa to Serpetz and Dovrjif, General von Hindenberg has had to interrupt and alter his new dispositions for the re- mainder of the winter eampaign. The main purpose of the recent invasion was to reach the middle Vistula and establish the principal German army there for the winter. : "This failed entirely, and the fore- most German position on the Burd and west of the Rawka is now com- posed of compact masses of the ens emy's heat troops, with a widé space to the right and left of them. This exposed pesition is becoming ineress- ingly dangerous. With the forced abandonment of the project for brin ing all the German armies in Polan forward to the Vistula, General von Hindenberg decided on a radical ré- distribution of His forces. 'This be- gan last week, concurrently with: a series of sharp attacks, mostly by nigh€, on the Russian lines along the banks of the Rawka. "The most evident of the new dis- positions is <that around Plotrkow, where the" Gormans 'have been as: sembling a very large army on 4a strong prepared position, resting on the middle curve of the Pllica River. "Straggling remoants of Austridn detachments in the Carpathians are constantly being captured. and brought into the Russian linés. Many frozen bodies are found. "The victorious operations around Kara, Urgan are now nearly complet. ed. . The Russians have cleared Turkish reiding expeditions from the territory near the Black Sea."
