London, Dec. 4.---There still Is
lasking the reliable news of the
progress of the battle In Poland
which continues to mono2olize all
interest.
An unofficial dispatch from Petro-
grad says the battle of Lodz has
been success for the Russians but
this statement Is opposed by that Of
the Berlin official report which says
the German offensive in Poland is
taking its normal course.
The most important factor from
the allies noint Of view is that aha
German advance on Warsaw has not
succeeded in its object nor has 1t
had the effect OF diverting the Rus
slams from their forward movement
through the Carpathians and onto
the plains OF Hungary. or against
the fortress of Cracow. The battle
in tho west appears TO be at stand
still. The allies and the Germans
have attempted to battle on the of.
fensive at different points along the
front but neither claim to have
made any advance and as both OIL
cial reports mention repuscs of the
enemy it is evident that the attack
Which had been made have not met
with much success.
Under the title -Four months Of
war" the French bulletin of the
army is publishing a report OF tho
entire operation of the war In 1t
the explanation is made that the
French were unable to take the Of
teusive and until the British army
was ready and that the advance
through Alsace which has heen
criticised as bad strategy was de.
signed to draw the German army
from the Belgium front. This plan
did not succeed IL is said and the a.
lies were driven back to Seine.
