LONDON, Dec. 5.-Ten thousand
Austrian and German prisoners ar
rived at the Russian fortress or Kieff
on Wednesday of this week Reports
from Petrograd received here today
state that 10000 Austro- German sol
diers and $500 officers made prison
ers by the Russians have passed
through Keff since the war began.
The fortress is declared to be
crowded 10 its utmost capacity with
Austrians and Germans taken during
the operations In Galicia and South
ern Poland.
The Russian Official statement of
today. while claiming no complete
victory, indicates that the Germans
have been swung back 20 miles at
one important point In their main
line OF advance toward Warsaw. Des-
perate lighting is now in progress
along the main road between LowicE
and Lodz. Govino, mentioned In the
Official statement as being In the line
OF fighting front Is about half way
between these two points
The Official statement therefore, In
dicates that the Germans have not
been driven from Lowicz, the east
ernmost point reached in their ad-
vance, but with this town as a pivot
have been swung back 20 miles from
Skiernievice upon Glovno, directly
west
The Germans continue to hold the
west bank OF the vistula The Rus
slams, however, are making a deter
mined effort to cross the river, and
this would mean serious thrust at
the German lines with Lowicz as the
apex, but their front has evidently
been extended by the Russian attack.
The German advance over the west
ern roads toward Lodz and Pietrkow
and the general development OF the
campaign, has resulted in a zig.zag
battle line. The claims OF thousands
OF prisoners captured made by both
sides appear probable owing to the
greater extent OF the battle front and
the possibilities of cutting of detach-
ments owing TO the interlacing OF the
Lines at some points.
