LONDON, Nov. 24.-The Russian
army Of Grand Duke Nicholas now
holds the advantage in Poland.
For the moment, the German forces
Of General Won Hindenberg which
struck boldly at Warsaw, for a second
time are placed upon the defensive.
The Russian official statement today
makes no claim Of = great victory but
the retreat Of the Germans on the
|iine running southwest from Strykow
is announced. The Germans have
withdrawn as much as twenty-five
miles at some points.

ed to outnumber the Germans by al
least two to one, but on every hand
the wonderful organization Of the Ger
man army has been brought into play
toward raising its mobility to the high,
est degree.
Great trains Of motors are being
used by the Germans in the transpor
tation Of troops and supplies. These
motor transports were fitted with
Hanged wheels for the rush into Pol
and and driven over the railroads to
the front. Their heavy wheels for
road work were then replaced II is
also realized conditions are much
more favorable for the Germans than
at the time Of the first march upon
Warsaw. The Russian roads in which
the German artillery mired down a,

is yet nothing decisive, but it is be-
,ieved that defeat for the Germans will
mean complete disaster.
