England Too Anxious Over Engagements on Continent To Loose Self in Enthusiasm Over Accomplishments.
AFRICAN VICTORIES
 BROUGHT MORE CHEER
Communications Show French
 And Allies Have Advanced
 In West-Little Known Of Progress in East Theatre.

LONDON. Dec. 10.-While the de- feat of the German squadron in the South Atlantic evoked liveliest sat isfaction throughout Great Britain, there have been no celebrations such as marked South African war victor ies. The British are too much com cerned with the operations of the Al- lies on the continent.
 Lack of news from Poland causes some uneasiuess regarding the result of the prolonged battle between the Russians and Germans. but French reports are considered most fayura- ble to the Allies Daily communica- uGns from Paris show the French have been making slow progress at many points in the last fortnight and the review sent by the French eye witness for the period from Novem- Der 27 to December : claims the as- tendency of French infantry over German is established. and mean- while the artillery has mastered the German batteries The French ont cial report tonight says the situation is unchanged. which indicates posi- tions taken have been maintained
 Berlin states the French attacks lin Argonne were repulsed. It is ap- parent the withdrawal of German troops to strengthen the army in the east has enabled the Allies to push forward their lines in many places
 The Germans meanwhile continue their efforts to smash the Russian armies While a large part of their force is endeaoring to hold the Rus | sian center another army is adyanc- ing from East Prussia to the east of Mlawa, attacking the Russian right hoping to cdt communications and enter Warsaw through the back door.
 Heavy fighting is progressing also. southwest of Lodz and southeast of l Cracow, where the Austrians and 1 IGermans are endeavoring to get around the Russian left and force these troops to retire from the fort ress. The Germans are repeating on Ia larger scale their iavodte tactics of outflankius the enemy's positions. In this way they have always been atle to gain initial success because Of their ability to move their troops quickly Russians, however, met them with overwhelming numbers.
 Defeat of the Austrians by the Ser yians is virtually admitted in the Austrian official report which says some of their troops were ordered to occupy more favorable positions be- cause they met strong hostile force This sudden turn in favor of the Ser Nians is somewhat of a mystery but they may have received reinforce ments from Russia or more guns and ammunition elsewhere. Possibly the Austrian troops have withdrawn from Servia after the occupation of Bel grade Whatever the reason the Ser vians have inflicted severe loss and defeat on the invaders.
