PETRoGRAD, Nov. 29.-Col. Shumsky,

Herein lies the explanation Of the
extraordinary variance between tae
Russian and the German reports, eacn
OF which claims victory, and the see
saw between JOY and depression which
has been noticeable in the best informed
circles here in the last few days.
The aspect Of the battle has under
gone Kaleidoscope changes ay by day
and even hour by hour. At one point
1t seemed impossible that the German
force which had passed powerful
wedge toward LODI could escape the
trap in which it was caught 1t Will De
remembered that the Russian official

all that was left Of one division, was
forced to surrender, but the rest by dlnt
of fighting which won the respectful
admiration of all Russian soldiers
broke through the side of the trap ana
are still making desperate struggle to
escape.
The War Office here has issued an
appeal to the public TO await calmly an
official announcement of victory and not

in excess ~ actual events. This marks
d striking change from the joyful eX-
pectancy Of Las, week
LAT this point in the despatch there was

At the same time there II no reason to
doubt that victory Will be put beyond all

Many German regiments are without

while they are working the collieries

The chain of battles in Poland is being
turned By constantly increasing Russian
forces into one decisive operation
During the lighting which eliminated in
the present situation, and especially on
last Thursday, the Germans suffered what
Russian headquarters describes As enor-
nous losses They left many thousand
dead near Glowno midway between LODI
and lowisCz, after a series Of cavalry
charges by the Russians
IL Is stated that the state of the roads

parked a great number Of their cars at
LodZ, where hundreds OF captured Ger

The Russians have thrown back a strong
German column at Gombn. This column
started from Plock to relieve the position
of four German army corps which had
been suffering terribly destructive fire

town has passed several times from the
control Of one side into the control of the
other scarcely a building remains that
shows signs Of having been a habitation

An explanation Of the fierce struggle in
the region of LODI is found in the activity
of the German system of strategic rail-
ways along the Silesan frontier. The
Germans are bringing troops from west
"rn Europe. 1t IS believed that 10000
men, half the garrison Of Cracow, has
ben brought to the northwest OF CZensto-
chowa to join newly formed army which
will attempt TO force "A way toward
IdunskawOla. Another great battle il
expected in this region.
II Is estimated that the Germans have
lost 100000 In killed alone since the fight
ing began ten days ago back along the
River RzOura and then swung around TO
the present area.
