Berlin, Nov. 25.-An official COM

German headquarters staff says:
In the eastern war theater the
situation has not yet been decided.
In East Prussia our troops are hold
ing their own to the northeast of the
plain Of the (Maznr) lakes.
In northern Poland the fierce
fighting which has been taking place
still has been without result.
in southern Poland the battle in
the region Of Czenstochowa has come
to standstill.
ION our southern wing to the
northeast Of Cracow our attack is
progressing.
The official Russian report that
Gems. Libert and Tannewitz were
made prisoners in East Prussia is an
invention. Gen. Liebert at present
Is in Berlin and Gen. Tannewitz is at
the head of his troops"
British warships again appeared
off the Belgian coast yesterday and
bombarded Lomaertzyde and Zee
brugge. Our troops suffered but
slight damage from this lombard

Petrograd, Nov. 25.-The Ger
mans who marched on Warsaw in the
second attempt to overwhelm the
capital have met the fate that came
to the first raid. The advance has
failed and the army is turning back

through Zgeerz (six miles north of

west OF Lodz) and Zdunskawolia
(eight miles south of Szadek) and
then southwestward of Woznik, near
the frontier OF Silesla, Germany.
Battle In Flanders slackens.
Paris, Nov. 5-Slackening of the
German action was noted all along
the battle front OF France and in
Flanders today. Even the cannon
aeizs from It's German offensive has
been restricted almost entirely since
the excessive cold settled over the
battle area, has now become inter-
mittent.
Flanders still is storm bound.
However, the German guns continue
to pour their shrapnel and solid shots
into Ypres and the British and
French troops are reminded night
and day OF the Germans presence
on their front by the monotonous
visitations of projectiles from the
Jack Johnsons" and Sam Lang
fords"
There are many evidences of aetlv-
ity on the German front but today no
movement of consequence was at
| tempted.
Suffering in Trenches Is Acute.
Suffering in the French, Belgian
and British trenches is acute and
corps commanders have issued the
strictest orders that the men are to
be relieved at frequent intervals IL
order that they may repair to pro
tected positions in the rear and
change their water soaked and les
caked clothing for warm and DIR,
apparel.
