London, I>ec. 5.?'Reliable new#
of tbe progress of the battle in Poind.
which continues to monopolise
interest, Iftlll'ls lacking. An unofficial
dispatch "from Petrograd says
he battle of Lods baa ended in sutft
p ceee for the Russians, but this statement,
contradicts the Berlin official
report, which slays the German ofi
fentire In Poland Is taking Its formal
oottrse. " '' ' ***** ''VTv J
The faat Is that fighting In this
region has developed Into such a
t- Jumble that* It Is almost Impossible
to follow it. *fhe most Important
factor from the allies point Is that
&. the German advance on Warsaw
seemingly hae not sucoeeded in
Ha object, nor ?at it diverted the
Russian**from their forward movement
through the. Carpathians and
on to the plains of Hungary or
.against the fortress* of Cracow,
rt around vrhlch they are drawing'a
closer ring of men add artllery.
P Taking Into consideration the case
gt Przemysl, whilh has held out so
long against the Russian attacks,
military men do not look for the
k esrlffall of Cracow and are inclined
1 to bfltleve armies of Emperor Nicholas
will endeavor to keep the large
. Austrian force Inside the fortress and
enter Sildhta from the southeast. ^
Much depends, however, on the*
| battle b%ing fought with such lntensHy

rivers Vistula and Warta and In

lncllnatidh to believe that had there

a one of those rare ptnys that appeal

persona have been moved from laugh- ]

lowing the fortunea . of the wistful
little girl, from whom comes the ,
b title?''Polyy of the Circus," and her

of'a circus In fall swing In the
