Keen interest Being Taken in
Engagement in Poland.

Y London, Nov. 23-The veil of Sc.
crecy has been drawn over the bat
ties between Russians and Austro.
German forces. The headquarters OF
both armies are combining themselves
to the briefest statements concerning
the hostilities, saying merely that
fighting il in progress.
News coming from unofficial sources
however, shows that the German ad'
vance has penetrated farther into Po'
land than had been disclosed previ-
ously and that Warsaw is threatened
for second time. General Won Hin
denbnrx's army has advanced as far
as the Lowicz-Skierniewic line, which
means that the Germans have cover
ed two-thirds of the ground to the
Polish capital, from which they now
are only forty miles.
Farther south in Poland, however
the Teuton allies are said to have
been repnlsed between Radon and
ktelce.
The battle in East Prussia seems tc
have died down, but the Russians con
time to advance in Galicia and are
still fighting on the Czenstochowa
Cracow front.

The battle in Poland. in the direc
ton of Lowicz, is the most critical one

The transition that has taken place

Additional Russian
Forces Arrive.
STRUGGLE IN WEST
FLANDERS RENEWED
Activity Is Shown at Several
Points Along Coast.

London, Nov. 24.-Desperate fight
ing in Russian Poland, but without
details as to the outcome, and a re-
sumption of similar activity in West
Flanders and other points in the west
ern battle line, are the outstanding
features In the two principal areas of
military operations in Europe.
In Russian Poland the appearance
of Russian achievements is postpon-
ing Z decision Of the battle. according
to olIicial advices from Berlin. The
German press, however, accounts the
battle in Russian Poland as virtually
won and already is estimating the ef-
feet upon future military operations.
Vienna officially reports successes in
Russian Poland and the capture OF l5,-
900 Russian prisoners.
In Berlin it is said the outcome OF
the main battle with the Russians may
decide not only that phase of the
many sided war, but the whole E,l-
ropean struggle. A decisive triumph
in the east, it is pointed out, will free
part of the German army engaged
there, enabling it to assist the forces
which are facing the British and Bel
gians in the west
Little News From Front.
Upon what information the conf
dent Berlin predictions were based
was not fully apparent. An early
German official statement said merely
that fighting in Poland continued, the
struggle going on to the south Of
Flock, in the vicinity of l.odz and
near Geenstochau. Russia officially
admits that the Germans have won
partial successes, but there is nothing
from this source to show that the con-
tinued German advance toward War
saw is influencing the campaign to the
north, in East Prussia, Or to the south,
near Cracow, Galicia.
In the west the fighting in Belgium.
which has been slow for several days.
has broken out with renewed ferocity
at Ypres, with the artillery playing
the main part. London observers
suggest that this may be the prelude
to another German attempt to pierce
the line. The town hall and central
market at Ypres have been destroyed
by artillery fire and other buildings
were set on fire. Ypres is in the cen
ter of the allied line blocking the way
to the French coast towns, and the
English are holding this position.
