GERMAN AMBASSADOR AT
ROME LEAVES HIS POST

Rome, Friday, Dec. 4-The formal
| announcement that Prince Bernard Won
Buelow former chancellor of the Ger
man empire, had been placed at the
head of the German embassy here
while the present Ambassador Herr
Won Flotow is to be absent for three
months on account of his health, has
aroused much comment in Rome.
Although this move has been report
ed as probable for some time, it may be
said to have produced a considerable
sensation. 1t is remarka ole that a
former chancellor should become the
head of an embassy which is by no
means considered the most important
in the German diplomatic service.
The appointment was discussed with
animation in Italian political circles to-
day. Some statesmen declared it to
be Germany's answer to the declara-
ton of Premier Salandra to the TIA
liam parliament Thursday that there
was no clause in any treaty binding
Italy to participate with the Teuton al
lies in the present conflict and that
Italy would maintain her present atti-
tude Of watchfuI an5 armed neutrality
while others recalled that Prince Won
BuelOw had been most popular il
Rome since he was ambassa dor to the
Quirinal twenty years ago, and that
his wife belongs to a very prominent
Italian family
Many observers are of the opinion
that the appointment of Prince Won
Buelow to this post means that Berlin
is about to exercise strong pressure to
prevent Italy from passing. to the side
OF the allies.
For the friends and allies of Italy"
the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung
continues, this announcement comes
as no surprise. The Salandra cabinet
is sure to have the support of the
majority of the Italian parliament for
this national patriotic policy. Italy's
allies realize fully that the Italian
kingdom could not be excluded from
a European settlement"
Commenting on the declaration Of
premier Salandra in the Italian cham
Der of deputies today, the Norddeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung says that ItaIy's
attitude in reserving for herself the
right to take a hand in the political
reimbursement Of Europe, so far as her
own interests are involved should
make great impression in Europe.
Premier Salandra made it clear"
says the newspaper that Italy's neu-
trality is self-impOsed and voluntary on
her part For this reason Italy has
reserved the right to act independently
Should developments threaten her posi-
ton as a world power through intend
ed territorial gains then the policy of
aloofness maintained up to the pres
ent time would no longer be binding

GERMAN FORCES FOUGHT
THEIR WAY THROUGH RUSSIANS

Petrograd, CVia London), Dec. g.
The most tragic moment of the fighting
about LODI thus far, it is reported
here occurred between Tuszyn and
Brzeiziny, Southeast of LODI. Heavy
German forces which had penetrated
to Tuszyn, it appears, were surrounded
and obliged to fight their way to
Brzeziny to unite with the main body
The Russians essayed counter attack
after counter attack to prevent the
junction but the Germans cut a pas
sage, at the point of the bayonet for a
distance. of fifteen miles.
This battle is called the bloodiest
and most pitiIess fight of the war.
Ninety per cent of the German officers
were put out of action and many regi-
ments had less than one hundred men
left. The fighting lasted thirty-six
hours The Germans fell in rows but
their comrades pushed forward over
the bodies and hurled themselves
against the Russians.

HEAVY FIGHTING.

The heaviest fighting in the vicinity
of LODI during the past two days has
occurred in the course of maneuVer1ng
for the possession of Lask, Is miles
southwest of Lodz.
On the SzczercroW line which is 10
to 20 miles long, east of the Warta, the
fighting appears to indicate that the
Germans have been heavily reinforced
and that they are filling the gap be-
tween their right wing and the isolat-
ed BODY which has been striving to
turn the Russian left.
The German defense on the North
ern front in East Prussia occupies a
position along the river Angerapp
from Gum binnen to Darkenmen and
thence to the northern extremity Of
the Mazurian lakes at Angerburg. Here
the Russians are entrenched close TO
the German line. On the east front or
the lakes and to the Vistula the Rus-
slams have taken a position slightly
back of their line of advance of ten
days ago. Both sides appear to be
awaiting the outcome of the struggle
at LODI. The main German forces in
this region are concentrated ABOUT
Mlawa.
The military critic of the Bourse
Gazette reckons that the loss of the
Austrians in prisoners is equal to their
number of dead and wounded ana
places the fighting strength Of Aus
tria now at two-thirds of what 1t was
at the beginning Of the war. He cites
the smaller percentage Of Austrian ar
tillery falling into Russian hands and
SAYS this is accounted for by an eA-
PLANTATION in a recent Issue OF the or
fetal War Messenger to the eff
feet that since the second Austrian re
treat from Poland the Austrian artii-
lery is always withdrawn from the
field before the final issue of the bat
tie. This, he declares, amounts to be-
ginning a retreat before they are ac-
tualIy defeated.
The critic also points out the large
proportion OF officers, including col
onels and lieutenant colonies among
the prisoners, as indicating the de-
TnoraIization of the Austrian army and
the loss of the fighting spirit. He
states that the last fifty thousand Aus
trian prisoners included 500 commas
stoned officers. The writer contrasts
this with the results where the RUS
slams are engaged against the Ger

novel kind of warfare recalling the

ago, but with entrenching and engi-
neering features undrearned of before

along the Western battle front.
An official report from Vienna adj
mlts that the advance of the Austrians
has been pref ented by violent attacks
from strong hostile forces covering the
SerVian retreat. No hint is given as
TO the identity of these forces, but the
opinion is expressed in London that
Russian aid has reached the soreIy
pressed Serbs. Berlin reports that
such help will be no longer possible
for the reason that the blowing up
of the great tunnel near Tekija has
blocked communication with Rumania
and made impossible the passage of
Russian transports along the Danube.
AViators of the allies, according to a
Berlin dispatch; have resumed opera
tions by dropping bombs in the neigh
borhood of Frieburg and Breisgau.
