OFFICIAL REPORTS ON THE WAR
BRITISH


 Lendon, Nov 21-The warning armies on both battlefronts seem today to have eenas1o aapease as if an interval we're necessary for them to solve the new difficulties of their positions rais- ed by the unexpected severity of the first onsIaughts of winter, according to official information here.
 < In West Flanders, reports from many sources indicate that all the mil itary operations have been. complete ly suspended while along the rest of the western line only desultory artil- lery duels prevent the front from giv- ing the impression that truce exist ed.
 Vienna and Berlin agree that noth- ing decisive has occurred in Poland while Petrograd claims that the Ger man offensive between the Warta and the Vistu1a. has been checked so defin- itely that the Russians have been en- a'bled to resume the aggressive, an attitude which they signaHzed by the capture of battery of German ar tillery to the northwest of Lodz. This, if true, indicates the possibility that the Germans are in danger of being outfanked. Nevertheless it is appar- ent that the two armies are facing each kother and waiting for the next move in what may prove to be one of the most decisive battles Of the eastern campaign.
