LONDON, Nov. 22.-The veil of
secrecy has been drawn over the bat
ties between Russians and the
Austro-German forces. The head
quarters of both armies now are
combining themselves to the briefest
statements concerning the hostilities,
saying merely that fighting is in
progress.
News coming from unofficial
sources, however, shows that the
German advance has penetrated
farther into Poland than had been
disclosed previously and that War
saw Is threatened for second time.
General Won Hindenburg's army has
advanced as far as the Lewicz-
Skierniewice line, which means that
the Germans have covered two-thirds
of the ground to the Polish capital,
from which they are now only forty
Poland, however, the Teuton allies
are said to have been repulsed be-
tween Radon and Kielce.
The battle in East Prussia seems to
have died down, but the Russians con-
tinue to advance In Galicia and are still
fighting on the ~Cracow
front
Critical I'm Poland.
The battle in Poland, in the, direction
of Lowicz, is the most critical one. The
Germans express confidence in General
Won Hindenburg. but here and In Petro-
grad military observers express the opin-
ion that Russias Overwhelming superior
ity in numbers of men again must tell.
In Flanders and in France the armies
seem 10 be enjoying long-deserved rest
for the only remaining evidence that the
occasional bombardment with heavy guns.
Infantry attacks have temporarily ceased
and the men are getting chance to rest
and to tidy themselves up after a month
in the water-soaked trenches
German Loss Heavy.
An eye witness with the British head
quarters, in long statement made
public today gives official confirmation
of the reported heavy losses the Ger
Ypres. He speaks of decimated bat
talions. Of hundreds OF dead sleft be-
fore the trenches and OF patches of
bodies found in farm houses. The cas-
ualty lists OF British officers show that
the British forces also have suffered
severely in the fighting.
The servians are making a stand
against the Austrians in we'll chosen po-
sitions on the Kalubara river. but, as
the Austrians command superior forces
and Servia is without allies near enough
to offer it assistance. it seems apparent
that unless other Balkan states come
into the war. servia is faced with de-
feat.
The recruiting campaign which is be-
ing carried on throughout the British
isles resulted today in bringing many
men to the colors. Troops with banners
flying and bands playing marched today
through the east end Of London to Vic
tory park. where speakers addressed the
crowds from early morning until late
this evening.
