the Value of LODI.

Berlin, Dec. 7-(By wireless to Sayi-
vile, l.. l., IAN official Of the general
staff states that the report from Rome
that the French near Ypres, Belgium,
had captured Il whole corps of Ger
man aviators, is absolutely unfounded.
Denial is also made of the London re-
port that ayIators belonging to the
allies had thrown bombs OH tho krupp
factory at Essen.
The Russian statement contained in
the official communication Of Novem-
Der goth, that the German attack near
Czenstochowa had failed with heavy
losses is declared to be untrue. On
the contrary, ii is said, the Seven
teent!i Russian army corps, which was
met in this attack was defeated on
November 10th, and suffered extreme
ly heavy losses. The Russians. it is
declared, left Il large number of killed
and wounded on the battlefield and
were forced to retreat.
The situation in the western battle
field shows little change, it is stated.
The allies are said to have made a
few attacks, but these have been re-
pulsed.
News of tho decisive results i'll the
east is expected here. The latest re-
port from headquarters assert that
everything is proceeding according to
program and this is taken here to
mean that the operations thus far have
been successful. Ii the investment
of Warsaw should result from the
present Oncrations. the Russians WOuId
lose their most important railway
communications.
