London, Nov. 2S.-"We have sue
ceeded In making progress at certain
points" is all that Grand Duke Mich
olas. the Russian commando .chiGr,
permits himself to say regarding the
battle Of Lodz, in which, according 10
unofficial reports, the Russians gainea
great victory over the <Gerntan arm
les, which made the third attempt
since the commencement of the war
to advance to Warsaw. This brief
reference is taken to mean that !if
the Germans are not already defeaten,
the tussiaDs have drawn a Gordon
around them from which they will
have great difficulty in escaping.
Some Petrograd correspond dents,
quote the highest military sources as

Genefal Won Hindenburg, who has
just been made field marshal by. EN-.
peror William in recognition Of the
protectiou he and his troops have
given the east Prusian frontier, in an
army order issued at Thorn, says that
the Germans brought the Russian Of
fensive to standstill and inflicted
heavy losses. He adds, cover $4,000
prisoners, $50 guns and 200 machi:le
guns have fallen into our hands"
In the west the Allies are still
waiting for a new attack by the Ger
mans, which has been long pronlisec.
All communication between Belgium
and Holland is stopped, so nothing au-
thoritative can be learned as to what
the Germans are doing. Reports con-
tinue of large German forces moving
west, some with boats and bridge
building material.
Germans Ships Sunk?
It is believed in London that the
next attempt Of the Germans to get
through to the French coast will be
made through the south of France
and the Belgian border, Perhaps in
! the vicinity OF Arras.
Following the report from Petro-
grad of the damage inflicted upon the
German fleet by the Russians in Sep
| tember, comes an announcement,
through Paris, that the German cruis-
er. Hertha, was sunk near MLibau.
There are also rumors that the Ger
man battleship, Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse was torpedoed in the Baltic
sea. Both reports lack confirmation.

of mines off the north coast OF Ire
land
, British ships have arrested two
trawlers. one Norwegian; the other
Danish, which made their headquar-

coast, of the Irish sea, on a charge OF
having laid the mines which proved
so disastrous to the British and neu-
trail shipping. Ill
May Attack Germans.
There is imminent danger that,
driven desperate by hunger, the Bel
gians in some districts, will attack
the Germans in an effort to obtain
food, according to report to Chair
man Hoover, of the American Relief
commission from a special commits

right. Holland. Near Antwerp the
Germans have stored large quantities
of food. 1t is reported that meetings
are held nightly by the hungerine
Belgians, where the chances Of sue,
cess in attacking the German garri-
son and taking possession Of the food
is seriously discussed In Louyain
the people are actually starving, while
living in the ruins, refugees state.

| Dispatches from Bucharest say that
after a violent bombardment and At
tacks from the Russian troops the
Austrian forces precipitately abal-
doned Czendowitz and the capit6l,
Bukowina, and are fleeing in a disor-
derly manner toward Dornavatra with
the Russians pursuing.
