In making the presentation, Presi-

that he associated with him in his sin

"The horrors Of this sanguinary

Emperor William Reported m.

Berlin, Dec. 9, via Amsterdam and
London.-It was officially announced
Tuesday afternoon that Emperor Will
lam is i'll. The announcement states
that he is suffering from feverish
bronchial catarrh, and has been
obliged to postpone for some days his
return to the front, which had been
arranged for Tuesday. Despite his
indisposition, it is said, he is able to
give attention to reports of the war
situation from the chief Of the German
staff.

week. A correspondent of the London
Daily News, telegraphing from Ber-
lin, sends the following dispatch de-
scriptive of the continued success of
the Russian arms at that time:
"The fighting near LODI was marked
by many stirring episodes. The NO
voc Vremya correspondent, Alexander
Ksiunin, says daring attacks by 81
berian cavalry viii. be concentrated
in history.
Germans Burned Alive.
1.-The forest between Brzeziny and
Krupin is a. continuous German grave
yard One Russian regiment, which
had already won renown early in the
war, charged howitzer battery. The
center broke before the hellish fire,
but nothing could arrest the onIush
of the TANKS. They were Gu. down by
the gunners or captured.
THE howitzer cleared a way for
the infantry How unexpect adly and
terrible was this joint attack appeared
from the village of Krupan, where the
maddened German soldiers, seeking
refuge, were burned alive when the
Russian shells set the huts afire."
Information of reliable character
regarding the developments in the
battle around LODI is lacking owing
to delays in transmission of messages
because of the storms, which have in
terrupted communication. But it is
known that as late as last Thursday
the Germans, having failed to pierce
the Russian center, had commenced,
with the aid or considerable re-en-
forcements, another attempt to envel-
op the Russians on both tanks.
In this effort the fighting developed
strongly at Hove, to the north of LODI,
and at Petrokow, to the south of the
city now reported fallen.
Both of these positions are much
in advance of those just reported to
have been held by the Germans, and
their presence there indicates rapid
advance, threatening Lodz even at
that time
These two positions also are on the
main roads to Warsaw. With the two
main high roads and the railway line
held by the Germans, Warsaw would
appear to be in imminent danger Of
investment.
London still accepts the situation
with reserve, preferring to await Of
fetal advices from Petrograd.

Berlin Official Statement.

Berlin (by wireless to London)
Dec. 6.--Main army headquarters re-
ports:
The Germans have evacuated Yer
melles, TO the southeast of Bethune.
Buildings were destroyed according
to prearranged plan to prevent the
unnecessary loss of life through bonn
bardment by the French artillery. We
occupied prepared positions in the
rear, which prevented the enemy
from following.
French re-enforcements unsuccess-
fully attacked again TO the west and
to the southwest of Altkirch, suffering
heavy losses.
There is no other change in the
western theater of operations.

Germans Tell of Victory.

London, Dec. Z. - According to
wireless dispatch from Berlin early
this morning ff,cial announcement
has been made by the main headquar-
tiers of the army that the Germans
occupied Lodz in Poland on Sunday.
. This would indicate that the Ger
mans have gained almost thirty miles
on both TANKS between the Vistula
and the Warthe rivers.
In the absence of any official con-
tradiction of the German claim, the
statement from Berlin is being &C
copied as a fact here.
The Germans, if the statement be
finally verified, must be credited with
winning the greatest battle ever
fought in the history of the world.
But they have paid the price, for it is
estimated that the Germans lost in
this battle close to two hundred thou
sand killed, wounded. and missing.
Capture Means Much.
When the total killed, wounded and
missing on both sides are made out
the loss will be 1000 men for every
day of the year. 1t would be like the
wiping out of the city of Washington.
The gigantic German sacrifices show
that 1t is their aim to hold the north
west section of Poland at any cost.
So ssrong is their present position it
would mean an equal IL not greater
sacrifice on Russia's part to push them
back to the frontier.
Not only was the battle the greatest
in history. but the prize is momentous.
The capture of the city eff Lodz means
to the victor the control of the most
important railroad in Central Russian
Poland-a railroad leading straight to
Warsaw. the capital Of Russian Po-
land, whose conquest is the object of
the German strategy in the East.
Military observers find the news of
today from Berlin difficult to recon
cile with reports sent from the front
in Poland as late as Friday of last

COST HAS BEEN HEAVY.
Stupendous Casualties on Both Sides
Germans Are Expected to Move
on Warsaw at Once No Official

Petrograd, Dec. S-The Russians adj
NIT today that the Germans have cap
tured and hold Lodz, important rail-
road center on the road to Warsaw.
The Germans have defeated Russian
thanking movement and advanced to a
point forty miles from Warsaw.
Germans have succeeded in west
ern Poland in tactics which failed on
the Franco-Belgian frontier. They
have thrown dense masses of troops
against the Russian center and by
successive shocks battered down the
Russian defenses, taking LODI.
During the fighting Lenczyca, one
of the oldest towns in Poland, about
sixteen miles northwest of LODI, came
in the line of the German artillery fire.
A monastery that has stood for thou
sand years was destroyed. Several
monks were killed.
Asylum Is Fired.
The gas works of LODI and luna
tic asylum caught fire from the ex-
ploding shells. Flames from the gas
works spread, many lunatics jumped
from the windows of the asylum and
were killed and others we're burnt to
death. In the panic and darkness
many INHABITANTS, including women.
were trampled in the streets or killed
by falling walls.
Thirty non-combatants we're re-
ported to have been killed and 200
injured.
German soldiers aided in stopping
the conSagration by blowing up
houses as soon as they took the city.
All was in darkness last night and
all the horrors of war in myriad forms
prevailed.
Germans Turn Tables.
General Mackensen's German army
which ten days ago was reported 10
be surrounded, cut off and about to
be captured or destroyed by Russians,
thirty miles west Of Lodz, not only
hewed it's way out of the Russian in
vestment, but made counter-attack
on the Russian position north of Lodz
and swept down on the city. The ter
rible momentum of the German ava
lanche turned the Russians position
and captured the city.
Undoubtedly Marshal Won linden
burg succeeded in getting German re-
endorsements over from the western
front at the right moment.
Russian military experts say the
German field marshal used thirteen
army corps, about $4,000 men, in the
taking of Lodz and pushing back the
Russian center The Russians lost
few guns.

the German plan to make the drive

to their strategy.
