rs still the center of interest in the war
situation as far as military operations
are concerned. The reports from rival
HEADQUARTERS indicate that any decisive
result on, either side is still in the bal
ance. although on the face Of the
,fsnown facts the conviction is growing
That the German general, Mackensen,
has done at LODI what Bacacine, in the
sFrench -Prussian war, failed to do at
Metz. He has saved his army after 1t
was encircled by the enemy.
But 1t is equally clear that the Ger
man technical plan for the taking OF
warsaw again has failed, according to
the prevailing opinion in England.
ssWhether a counter invasion OF Cali
iria has been rendered impossible for
the present remains to be seen.
Little activity along the Austrian
front is reported. An exception Is the
assertion from Vienna Of an Austrian
victory, with the capture OF quantities
of prisoners and munitions OF war
along the southern line, but there is
nothing to indicate that the Russians
have given way in their evident inten-
zion of invading the rich German pro-
yfnces by way OF Cracow. Later Off
cial reports from Vienna declare that
calm prevails on the Cracow front, but
that lighting continues in the Carpa-
thians.
seryian eyes are turned hopefully in
tfie, direction Of these mountains in ex-
nectation soon Of seeing the Russian
force under tn wealls' of Budapest.
This would relieve the pressure being
sexerted against Servia by half million
Austrian troops who have forced the
2 Seryians back into strong defensive
position within their own border.
Army headquarters in Berlin report
Z al desperate three days battle In Po-
land, accompanied by a successful eff
fort on the part Of the Germans to
break through the Russian wing. The
German report admits heavy losses,
hut saws there is consolation in having
Sinfificted severe punishment on the
enemy.
According to message received
here from Petrograd, Lodz and Lowicz
: still are critical polnIs III Tue HsALluS
In Northern Poland, where the final de-
{ cision, when it does come, bids fair
toibe the, most momentous of the whole
war:
Petrograd puts special emphasis on
the capture of German ammunition
barge on. the vistula river near Pock,
as indicating the cutting OFF of con-
Fenfent means of communication with
the German armies in Poland.
In the political field today's meeting
ofthe German Retchstag is attracting
much attention. Many members Of the
Reichstag, large number of them in
uniform, have already gathered in Ber-
lin in anticipation of this important
session, which it Is expected will pro-
vide for new war loan.
Quiet prevails along the western
front, but alarming news has been re-
ceiyed in the form of report Of a
serious outbreak of typhoid fever in the
Belgian army.
