Berlin, Nov. 25.-An official COM
munication given out Tuesday by the
| German headquarters staff says:
Gin the eastern war theater the
situation has not yet been decided.
In East Prussia our troops are hold
ing their own to the northeast of the
| plain of the (Mazur) lakes.
"In northern Poland the fierceir
| fighting which has been taking place
still has been without result.
"In southern Poland the battle in
the region of Czenstochowa has come
to standstill
"On our southern wing to the
northeast of Cracow our attack is
progressing.
"The official Russian report that
Gems. Libert and Tannewitz were
made prisoners in East Prussia is an
| invention. Gen. Liebert at present
is in Berlin and Gen. Tannewitz is at
the head of his troops"
British warships again appeared
off the Belgian coast yesterday and
bombarded Lomaertzyde and Zee
brugge. Our troops suffered but
slight damage from this lombard
ment, but a number of Belgian viii
layers were killed and injured. 9th
erwise no actual changes have oc-
Cured in the west"
Claim German Invaders Halted.
Petrograd, Nov. 25.-The Ger
mans who marched on Warsaw in the
second attempt to overwhelm the
capital have met the fate that came
! to the first raid. The advance has
failed and the army is turning back.
The army of 100000 is divided in
three columns and each is menaced.
| Large bodies of German reinforce
ments, principally new formations,
are being hurried forward from the
| German rear to help.
Between the Vistula and the Warthe
rivers the German front extends
| in broken formation for forty miles
| along the lines from Strykow south
| west of Lowicz and near the line of
| the Warsaw and Kalicz railway,
| through Zgeerz (six miles north of
| Lodz) past Szadek twenty-five miles
| west of Lodz) and Zdunskawolia
(eight miles south of, Szadek) and
| then southwestward of Woznik, near
| the frontier of Silesia, Germany.
Battle in Flanders Slackens.
Paris, Nov. 25.-Slackening of the
| German action was noted all along
| the battle front of France and in
| Flanders today. Even the cannon
aiding from the German offensive has
been restricted almost entirely since
| the excessive cold settled over the
battle area, has now become inter-
mittent.
Flanders still is storm bound.
| However, the German guns continue
to pour their shrapnel and solid shots
into Ypres and the British and
| French troops are reminded night
and day Of the Germans presence
on their front by the monotonous
visitations of projectiles from the
"Jack Johnsons" and "Sam Lang
fords."
There are many evidences of activ-
ity on the German front but today no
movement of consequence was at
tempted.
Suffering in Trenches Is Acute.
Suffering in the French, Belgian
and British trenches is acute and
corps commanders have issued the
strictest orders that the men are to
be relieved at frequent intervals in
order that they may repair to pro-
tected positions in the rear and
change their water soaked and ice
| caked clothing for warm and dry
apparel.
Shell Near u. S. Consulate.
Washington, Nov. 25.-A bomb
from a German airship fell in front
of the American consulate at Warsaw
! Tuesday, breaking the windows of
the consulate, but injuring no one
within. The incident was regarded
here as indicating the proximity of
the German advance guard to War
saw.
