Paris, Dec. 1.-The situation in Po-
land, according to Ludovic Naudeau,
the special representative Of the Jour-
nal de Paris, who is at the Russian
headquarters in the field, is as follows:
General Mackenzin's eighth German
army is separated into three groups.
The first, between Gombin to the
north, and the Brieiny to the south, is
being attacked on three sides. There
remains an opening on the western
road toward Kutno, which, however.
will he threatened by Russians ad-
vancing from Lodz. Part of this first
group at Glowno< and Strykow is al
most entirely surrounded.
The second group. to the south Of
Rzgow and Tuszya, is trying to force
it's way. thru to the north, but is op-
posed by the Russians at Lodz and
Brzezyni and the western road is
closed to it by the same Russian army,
which recently beat two German corps
at Wielun.
The third group to the west, is in a
critical but not desperate condition,
for, by right flank at Zdunska VIOLA
on the Warta, still holds the road to
Kalisz, which could serve either for re-
treat or for reinforcements if General
Won Hindenburg thinks 1t still possible
to try to save his eighth army"

said that while the landing of troops
in Canada by enemies OF Great Britain
would not constitute violation Of the

not take over the territory OF Canads

the same effect. But he would nat

Washington, Dec. LIN reply to
Cont Won Reventlow's contention that
the American position on the declara
ton of London was in way contrary
to the spirit Of neutrality and actually
worked to benefit the allies, state de-
partment officials take the view that
no other way seemed to be open to the
United States in its efforts to observe
neutrality than to take the stand It
did. as outlined in Ambassador Gerards
ofricial statement which declared that
the United States will insist that its
rights and duties and those Of It's citi-
zens In the present war be defined by
the existing rules Of international law
and the treaties Of the United States

the declaration OF London"
II the stand of the United States
works as Count Won Reventlow argues.
to strengthen the allies, state depart
ment officials point out that It is due
solely to. Germany's position, which
makes it difficult for her to benefit
