POLAND IS
REPORT
London, Nov. 21.?Two big batlea,
both of which mar hare deIsive
results, are raging In Poland,
nd a third of almost equal Importance
Is progressing In East Prussia.
Of the three battles, that now ara
t Its height between the Vistula and
Varta rivers and In which the RueIans
today claim partial success, la
xcitlng the most Interest. The Germans,
It is believed, have brought
ip by their line of strategic position
n Posen and Slelesia at least half
, million men In an effort to break
he Russian line here. Weather
onditions, the frozen ground and
he situation of the battle field, faor
a battle decisive to a degree not
iqualled on any other fleld In the
iresent war.
The other battle in Poland Is tnkng
place on the Cracow-Crenstorhowa
front aod Russians and Oer
Bans eacn ciaim u is proceeding
satisfactorily. In East Prussia the
Russian advance is moving slowly
through the wild country surrounding
the Masurian Lakes. In Oalicia
Lhe Russians are moving westward
and at the same time are seising the
passes of the Carpathians.
There now is almost a complete
absence of infantry attacks in the
Western arena and the artillery
fighting Is much less violent. An<l
thfit^ region about Dixraude through
which the Yser canal passes Is
inundated and the only serious fight*
ing appears to be taking place south r
of Yser. where cannonading is In
progress.
Bad weather, which necessarily
hampers operations, has been ?xjperienced
and snow has fallen in
some places. There has been no Important
action in tbe French center,
but In the Argonne region the Germans
have made vigorous attacks,
which, the French say, wers repulsed.
On the French right wing
the Germans have retaken Chauvoncourt,
part of which they destroyed
a few days ago. German activity
In the vicinity of Rhelras has
slackened.
