London, Nov 26-9:35 p. m.-The
Russian general staff still is with
holding the details of the victory
which all other dispatches from Pc.
trograd say the Russians have won
over the German forces which pene-
trated Poland. Tonight's official re.
port simply says the battle continues
to develop to the advantage OF the
Russians and that the Germans are
trying to eXtricate themselves from a
position very unfayorable to them.
The Germans on the other hand claim
they have inflicted heavy losses on
the Russians between Lodz and
Lowicz.
The military authorities in Petro,
grad, assuming that the unofficial re-
ports of victory are true, express
astonishment that the Germans
should have attacked LODI, for they
say defeat there was inevitable The

north and south, these military oD-

Duke Nicholas with the enormous
number Of men at his command, was
able to sandwich Them ald direct his
attacks from all points except duo
west The reported failure of the
German crown princes army to ad-
vance on lCracow4Czenstochowa front
is considered by these military critics
as contributing to the checking of the
Germans
1t is said in Petrograd that one IL
not two German corps are almost
completely enyeloped and that they
are making a desperate effort to fight
their way out TO the north. Already
large number of prisoners are re,
ported to have passed through War
saw. This is considered in London to
confirm the unofficial reports and
the statement of Lord Kitchener in
the house of lords today that 'the re-
inforced Russian troops in this neigh
borhood have been able to check and
defeat the Germans with. | believe.

tanned before"
The Russians are said to be con
tinuing their advances through the
Carpathians in western Galicia and
against Cracow and Prof. Bernard
.Pares, the British governments rep
resentatiye with the Russian head
quarters staff, says the Muscovite
forces are forming half circle
around East Prussia to avoid the well
fortified and difficult Mazurian lake
region. They also are declared to be
operating with success against the
Turks in the Caucasus.
Except for artillery fighting the
battle in The west remains virtually
at a standstill although in isolated
attacks both sides claim to have
made some progress. There is no III
dicatiOn where the lext German blow
is to be struck in the attempt TO reach
the French coast.
Lord Kitchener in the Mouse OF
lords today declared that all the gaps
in the British army which for long
time had fought against great odds,
now had been filled. and that both
British and French reinforcements
had reached the .tolt. While Lord
Kitchener expressed confidence in the
result of the war and asserted that
10000 recruits were joining the Bril-
ish army each week he warned the
public THAT still more men would be
required.
Tie secretary of war added that an
Indian force was in touch with the
Turks 80 miles to the east of the
Suez canal, while Indian and British
troops were busy on the shores of the
Persian gulf and throughout Africa.
He said the Indian government had
announced its intention to continue to
support the Indian contingents fight
ing in France and elsewhere.
