/ LONDON, Nov. 26.-The Russian
general staff Is still withholding de-
tails of the victory which ali other
dispatches from Petrograd say the
Russians have won over German
forces that penetrated Poland. To-
nights official report simply says the
battle continues to develop to the ad-
vantage OF the Russians and that the
Germans are trying to extricate them
selves from an unfavorable position.
The Germans, on the other hand,
claim they have inflicted heavy losses
on the Russians between Lodz and
Lowicz.
Military authorities In Petrograd;
assuming that the unofficial reports of
victory are true. express astonish-
ment that the Germans should attack
Lodz, for they say defeat there was

C0NFESSES HE ROBBED
TO GIVE MONEY TO POOR
Choir Singer in Bowery Mission in
New York Begs Courts Glenn
ency on Novel Plea.

NEW YORK.. December 2s.-Fred
Hoyt, choir singer in "a Bowery mis-
sion. pleaded guilty today to the theft
of $1,400 in jewelry from an apart
ment house, but besought the courts 8
clemency on the plea that he stole
only to benefit the poor. He will be
sentenced later.
Hoyt said he had stolen altogether
about $4,000, all Of which he had given
to the poor except barely enough to
pay his own board. He had not bene-
flied beyond this by any Of his thefts,
he said.
The money was given out in small
sums, according to his story, among
the Bowery's homeless men, to enable
them to get food and lodging. His
method of distributing it was to stand
after services, at the doorway of the
mission where he had sung, and be-
stow coins on the departing worshipers.
