London, Dec. 22.-In Poland and
Galicia battles are being fought be-
tween the Russians and the German
and Austrian allies amid deep snow in
bitter cold.
In Belgium and northern France the
Germans and the French, British and
Belgian allies are contesting the mud
fields foot by foot.
The Germans in Poland again are
making fierce attack toward the cap
ital and the Russians are making a
stand against them on the east bank
of the Bzura river, thirty miles west
Of Warsaw. Grand Duke Nicholas
army here holds natural strategic
line, so miles long, running roughly
north and south along the east banks
of the Bzura and Rawka rivers. Bitter
cold Is helping the Russians to block
the German advance.
The Petrograd reports claim that the
German force in north Poland has re-
treated across the boundary into East
Prussia in northwesterly direction.
It asserts also that the Austrian ad-
vance through the Carpathian passes
to the north has been checked and
the attempts Of the Przemysl garrison
to break through the lines repulsed.
According to this report the Austrians
have been driven into the fortifica-
tions with heavy slaughter.
Tho Austrian communication, on the
other hand, claims successes in the
Carpathians, but admits that the Rus
SLAMS again occupy Galicia and south
Poland in force.
Apparently, therefore. the Cracow
and Przemysl investments are continu-
ing and have not been broken.
Serious fighting between the Rus
SLAMS and Turks around Erzerum,
Turkish Armenia, has been stopped by
snow six feet deep and intense cold,
from which the Arabs are suffering
bitterly.

According to the newspaper Tiid,
