London, Nor. SO.-?Latest official
Russian announcements still claim
advantage In tho fighting in notthW
?rn Poland, but" deprecate exaggerated
W*<?. of their successes Gerj"
' many declare? officially that the Russian
attache have been repulsed and
that German -counter attacks have
been auccecsful.
jfif The German Jlmperor has Joined
f Field . Marshal Yon Hlndenburg In
the east to offer his adviceand to ??&
- courage his troops. * *
Enormous losses have been Li-'
r flleted on the Germans, socordlng^o
the Russian statement, bnt no mention
Is made of tho capture of Ger.
man divisions, so freely claimed bs
the Petrograd correspondents of
London and Paris papers,
i. Some days must elapse beforo this
battle, which promises to prove to be
the most decisive of the war. Is concluded,
80 far, all that is definitely
known la that the German advance
has been stopped. 8ome of the Qer.
^ man troops hSve been partly or
wholly surrounded but they still are
fighting stubbornly to break their
, way through the Russian Ilq^s, apparently
to the northward, where
they hope to Join reinforcoments
from Thorn.
to the battle berore Cracow the
Russians claim decisive success. During
the last week they took 30,000
prisoners,In that t-egion, which in
. taken la Petrograd to mean that
^ Cracow will not be the Russian advance
in Silesia from the south but
tint, with the Austrian army, beaten.
It will be necessary only to mask
the fortress.
Hie Russians also announce success
.on the Att*trta& side of the Carpathians
and against the Turks In
the Caucasus, although in both regions
the worst weather has prevailed.
In the nest the Germane, although
making ah oocaslonal Infantry
attack, seem content at present
to bombard tho allied positions with
somewhat lighter guns ttion they
iNNi been using. This may mean
either that they are sending troops
And artillery to the esst or that they
are preparing a new attack, ogalnfet
the allies.
That the enterprise that failed in
Flanders wllh not be repeated for
the present eeems probable, as the
allies hare been allowed to capture
some points of vsntagc around
Ypres, previously considered necessary
to ' the German plans. There
baa been a miner -end insignificant
attack near Arras.
J An Interesting report from Field
Marshal 81r John French, severing;
the period of the battle in Flanders |
and the days Immediately preceding]
it. Bhofrs that this, battle was brought
about, first, by the.allies' attempts to
outflank the'Germans, who countered
and then by their plans to move
to the northeast to Ghent and Bruges
which also failed. After this tho
German offensive began, with tho
* French coast ports as the objective,
but this movement, like those of
the allies, met with failure.
Field Marshal French fives It as
his opinion that the German losses
have been thriee as great as those of
the allies and speaks optimistically
of the future.
There apparently has been no development
in the Balkan situation,
but stress Is laid on the cause Qf
the Roumanian king's speech at the
opening of the Parliament, In "Which
he e%ld:
"I am convinced, realising the Importance
of the preeen^ situation,
you will give the government every
* assistance in passing, such legislation
as Is demanded by the clrcum*
stances and required to meet the
needs of the army."
