 LONDON, Nov. 23-The battle being fought in the region between the Wis tula and Warta Rivers in Poland seems to nave turned in favor of the Russians. \ special dispatch from Petrograd to Paris says the Russians have already won a decisive victory. While this may be eXaggeration, the Russian and Ger man official reports suggest that Gen. Van Hindenburg's second thrust at Warsaw has been checked.
 The Grand Duke Nicholas, comman- der-in-chief of the Russian forces, an nounced partial successes two days in succession in this great battle. Tonight the German general staff says the ar rival of Russian endorsements has postponed a decision. Both sides ex- pressed great confidence in the out come of this battle. Both Grand Duke Nicholas and General Von HindenburS have been so successful in their strat- egy that their adherents regard them as unbeatable.
 The German newspapers today are discussing the general Russian retire ment despite the fact that the Rus sians have been steadily advancing in Galicia, have repulsed the Austro-Ger- man attack before Cracow, hold part of the German territory in East Prussia and are opposing Gen Won Hinden- burs's advance on Warsaw. It is the same in Petrograd All the Russian correspondents say that Russian num- bers must tell when the Germans reach the ground on which Grand Duke Nj cholas has chosen to give them battle.
 While undertaking an immense task in the east, the Germans are preparing to launch another offensive movement in the west. The general staff alone knows the location of this but it is be- lieved they will make another effort to penetrate to the French coast and simultaneously attempt to force the line of French Actresses in Argonne.
 The Germans have been violently bombarding Ypres, Soissons and Rheims, making attacks in the Argonne region Both sides claim gains.
