Our nerves are stronger than those of the enemy, he is reported to have said in address to his troops before leaving for the capital.
 The Emperor was to have re-. turned to the front yesterday,er today, but his physicians have warned him that such activities might be dangerous.
 Despite his indisposition, it is reported that the Emperor is personally receiving official news from both battle fronts.

GERMANS PURSUE
 RUSSIANS IN EAST

London, Dec. 9-The center of the German Hnesin Russian Poland having
 occupied Lodz it is continuing to push
 on. to the eastward after the retiring Inouncement made in Berlin. Never
 theless, the strain on both sides has
 been terrific and the losses heavy so that a Hull will probably set in soon on this part of the eastern battle front while the troops .recuperate.
 The Russians continue to assert that
 their retirement from Lpdz was a
 strategical necessity rather than a de- feat but it will take future develop ments to show whether this claim is correct or not Twice driven back from Warsaw, the Germans again are in a position to advance on the capital of Russian Poland and even the Brit fsh press, which rniniunizes the import ance of taking Of Lodz, points out that it Is oD the trunk line railroad between Ka1ise and Warsaw which line is now held by the invaders prob-. ably to a point considerably to the east of the occupied city.
 Viewing the fighting in the vicinity of 1odz in retrospect, it would. ap- pear that Germany had had a, crush ing victory almost within her grasp but had lost it while later the Rus sians were successful in gaining a dominant position which they could not hold.
 In the western arena while it would appear still to be generally true that the Germans are on the defensive than the offensive, the news that they have made a violent attack to the south of Ypres indicates that they have not abandoned the idea of breaking through the French coast and it is said that the pick of the German west army has been concentrated for this latest effort
