Prussia. according 10 statement is
sued by the German official press

LODI. The statement reads:
''The evacuation Of Lodz took place

first, hut it was the result of the pre-
vious three days battles.
I'm these engagements, the Rus

Of our artillery. The trenches evacu-
ated by the Russians We're literally
filed with dead. Not even after the
battle OF Tannenberg did our troops
have to march over so many Russian
eorpses as they did in the battles
around Lodz and Lowicz.
Although we attacked, our losses
were much smaller than We're those
of the RUSSIANS. we lost comparative
ly few men killed. The Twentyiffth
reserve corps, in breaking through
the Russian lines, had only 100 killed.
1T is significant that on height
To the south of Lutomiersk and west
of Lodz, not less than Ss7 Russians
were buried.
According TO our estimates. the
Russians lost 100000 men. including
so, 600 men captured. The prisoners
are now being taken to Germany.
THE town Of LODI suffered little
damage during the fighting. Some SUI
burbs and factories beyond the town
sustained property losses. but the In
terror of the place was almost UNI
damaged. The Grand hotel was not
harmed and the electric tramway Is
now running as in times of peace.
