FRENCH ATTACKS REFUSED
SAYS BERLIN DISPATC

Berlin. (by wireless to London), Dec.
5.-Progress of German forces in the
west is reported in AN official state
ment given out this afternoon at the
army headquarters. The statement fol-
lows:
French attacks yesterday in Elan
1ers and to the south of Metz were re-
pulsed. We made progress at LabaSsee
in the forest of the Argonne and in the
region southwest of Altkirch.
In the fighting to the east the Mas
urian lakes, the situation is favorable
tor us II in minor operations there we
took 1900 prisoners.
Our operations in Poland are talk
ing a normal course.
The Corriere Del Terra estimates
that the losses among the French troops
amount to at least so per cent of those
engaged in The war and that losses of
even greater proportions have been
suffered by the territorials."
London, Dec. 5.-While reports con-
tinue to come into London that the
battle of Lodz has ended in a Russian

lacking and it is apparent to British
observers that conditions in the north
of Poland today are virtually the same
as they We're a week ago.. after the

overwhelming defeat by the brilliant
operations of General Mackensen.
The allies have ceased claimin- a

but they do assert that the operations
