When Mr.. Disraeli. waiting for
the election returns at the Carlton
Club In 1874. realized that he had
beaten Gladstone. he walked home
alone TO tell his wife. Earlier in
the evening the returns had been
against him and an unfavorable re-

that the Vistula-W -Wartha fighting has
been incomparably more severe than
anything experienced before in this war

the conflict christened il the Imperial

their success depended the whole
future of the war, l as reward sor
their success were prom. ed that they
would be disbsnded and sent to their
homes. Then the character Of the
fighting also compelled the Germans to
rely for once on their manhood, NJ
stead Of their machinery, yet they st.l
persist in their massed formations
against rife, Maxim or bayonet.
Their losses have been appalling, be-
yond anything else in their experience.
Experts estimate that the Germans
have lost two-thirds OF their army in
Poland There were several critical
moments in the fighting north OF Lodz.
