Escape From Trap
Set by Russians.
SLAUGHTER ON BOTH
SIDES IS ENORMOUS
Terrible Losses Sustained in Re.
cent Fighting in Poland.

London, Dec. 3.-OfTicial reports
concerning the campaign in Russian
Poland still fail to make clear the
confused situation in the east, where
for several days a great Russian vic.
tory has been claimed in unofficial
advices from Petrograd.
1t is said, however, that the power
full Teutonic armies, driven on to des-
perate efforts by the peril of their
position, have cut their way through
solid lines of enveloping Russians.
What it has cost has not yet been
told, but it is indicated that the Ger
mans, in extricating themselves, have
inflicted enormous losses on the enc
my and have in turn paid terrible
price.
The Berlin official statement says
that lin Northern Poland battles are
taking their normal course This is
believed to indicate the German lines
have been reformed and that they are
giving battle to the Russians on more
equal terms than when they were
partly enveloped
Germans Resume Offensive.
The Russian statement admitted the
Germans have resumed the offensive
on at least two points of the battle
front in Northern Poland, but the
Russian statement lays some stress
on the capture of German ammunition
barges on the Vistula river, near
Plock. as indicating the cutting off OF
convenient means of communica
ton with the German armies in Po
land.
The latest German statement says
the report circulated in the foreign
press that the $4,000 prisoners taken
ed in the 10000 Russian prisoners
previously taken by the Germans, is
untrue. The statement says in the
battles at Wloclawek, Kutno, Lod2
and Lowicz the German Eastern army
has taken between Nov. IL and Dec
/ more than $4,000 unwounded Rus
sian prisoners. German reports admit
heavy losses, but say there is the con
ISOLATION of having inflicted severe
punishment on the enemy.
According to dispatches reaching
London from Petrograd Lowicz and
I.odz still are critical points in the
fighting in North Poland, where the
final decision, when it does come, bids
fair to be the most momentous of the
whole war.
