The German statement said that
the Russians were continuing their
retreat in Poland. but that In eastern
Prussia they had captured an unorcu-
pied fort.
Such fragmentary reports as were
received today from the eastern zone
of fighting showed that the German
army was still pressing the Russians
back thru Russian Poland. over the
same battlefield across which the
Russians few weeks ago were adj
vancing victoriously. No clear ex-
PLANTATION has been made OF the re-
versal In form OF the opposing arm.
les. tlthough 1t has been reported on
several occtsaoNs that The Germans
were sending thousands of their fin
est troops from France and Belgium
to the east. .I.-
The Russian war chiefs state that
their advance in East Prussia and
Galicia continues in spite OF their ad-
mitted retreat in the center. German
strategists believe that continued re-
verses in Russian Poland would force
the Russians to draw back their
northern and southern armies.
The German opinion admits of n"
doubt of the outcome of the war with
Russia. Gen. Won Hindcnberg, Ger
many's popular hero Of the fighting
In the east. IS quoted as saying that
Germany and Austria will win, al
though outnumbered. because they
have stronger nerves and because
their soldiers do their own thinking.
while Russian discipline is mere
blind and dull obedience.
Besides th@ possible withdrawal of
German troops, for use against Rus
sia, there Is another reason for the
lull in the fighting in the wes,.
Cold. wet weather has numbed and
exhausted the soldiers so that great
physical effort is almost out of the
question. The weather in Belgium
Is compared with block, windy De-
cembcr day on the New England
coast. The storm continues and the
waters OF the North Sea flow thru
the locks at Nieuport. which the al
lies opened 10 flood the lowlands and
hold back the German advance.
Notwithstanding the extent of the
flooded area, the invaders hope to re-
new their advance. Large numbers
of engineers are being sent to the
front and German ingenuity is to be
put to the test to provide n scientific
method of crossing the inundated
country.
Tho outcome of yesterdays naval
battle in tho Black Sea is still in
doubt. No fresh information was
received to reconcile the conflicting
claims OF Russia and Turkey. each of
whom asserted that a hostile battle
ship had been damaged seriously In
the engagement.
