TROM the tangled skein Of official
l. and unofficial version Of tho
fighting in Russian Poland it still is

at arms in a great struggle for su-
premacy between the Nistula and the
Warta rivers, nothing is known.

and Radon heavy Russian attacks

Southwark In Poland and in Galicia
the Russians assert that they have
won important successes and cap
tured large numbers of men and guns.
Vienna declares the situation in this
locality is unchanged and in this

ern Poland.
In the west the period Of compare
tive calm which has existed for sew
eral days still obtains.

continues on nearly all the front. The
Austrans again assert that they have

Russian advices say there has been
an outbreak of fanatical riotng in
Erzerura following the proclamation
of the Mohammedans calling for a
holy war. Four Armenians were
killed and much damage was done
to property.

Grand Duke Nicholas. Russian COM
mander in chief, permits himself to
saw of the battle Of Lodz, In which,
according to unofficial information
rom unusually credible soruces, the
Russians have gained a great victory
over the Germans armies, which
made the third attempt to advance to
Warsaw.

dispatches from Russian Headquarters,
is taken here to mean that II the
Germans have not been defeated al
ready. the Russians have drawn a cor
don around them from which they
will have great difficulty In escaping.
