London, Dec. 9.-The center of the
German line in Russian Poland, hav-
ing occupied Lodz, Is continuing to
push eastward after the retiring Rus
SLAMS, according to Berlin. Neverthe-
less the strain on both sides has been
terrific, with losses heavy, and lull
has probably set in on this part OF the
eastern battle front, while troops re-
cuperate. Viewing fighting in the vi
cinity of Lodz in retrospect, it would
appear that Germany had a crushing
victory almost within grasp and lost
it by not being able to unite her forces,
while later the Russians were success
full in gaining a dominant position,
which they could not hold.

says there was artillery fighting from
the sea to Lys yesterday, and that
all positions won by the French in
the past two days have been strength
