London, Nov. 2S.-The battle in the
region between the vistula and Warta
rivers, in Poland, appear to have turned
in favor Of the Russians. a Petrograd
special dispatch to Paris says the Rus
sian forces already have won a deci-
sive victory This may be an exagger-
alton, fout both the Russian and Ger
eraI Won Hindenburg's ~=cOnd thrust
at Warsaw has been checked.
Grand Duke Nichols, the Russian
commander, has recorded partial sue
cesses for the two successive days.
The German General staff tonight says
the arrival of Russian Eernforcements
has postponed the decision. Both sides
have expressed the greatest confidence
as to the outcome.
German papers today are talking of
a general Russian retirement. This
despite the steady Russian advance in
Galicia; the repulse of the Austro Ger
! man attack before Cracow; seizure of
German territory in East Prussia, and
opposition to the German advance on
Warsaw.
A similar attitude regarding the Ger
mans prevails in Petrograd. Cores
l
numbers must tell when the Germans
reach the ground on which the Grand
Duke has chosen to give battle.
! notwithstanding the immense task
in the east, the Germans are preparing
! to start the offensive again in the
west according to all reports, it is not
! known where the attack will be

the Germans will make another
effort to reach the French coast
