the determined offensive taken by the

driven, placed the Russians In a serI-
Gus position for a time. This, Il 10

forming Of the Russian center in Pol

Germans were all but trapped, is re-
sponsible for failure Of the Russians
to gain victory Of great proportions.
Rennenkamrf has been relieved Of his
command. Many Of the prisoners TAX
en- by the Germans were captured as
the result Of his delay. When the
Germans broke through the Russian
line, however, a large force to the
south Of Lodz found itself cut off.
Reinforcements continue to arrive
for the Germans. Some of these

On the southern front the Russian
successes are becoming more pro-
nounced. The Austrian troops have
been steadily driven back. The ex-
tremely cold weather accompanied by
s!eet and snow has caused heavy
losses to the enemy through sickness
and exhaustion. The hustrians are
not able to Withstand the hardships on
which the Russian troops are thriv-
inr. One Russian force is reported
within eight miles of crscow. The
advance from 5ochnia, southeast Of
the city, continues in the enveIopins
movement.
