 Says Battle Continues.

London, Nov 26, s.S5 D. m.-rhe Russian general staff is still withhold ang the details of the victory which all other despatches from Petrograd say the Russians have won over the Ger man forces that penetrated Poland. To- nights official report simply says that ffe battle continues to develop to the advantage of the Russians and that the Russians are trying to extricate themselves from position that is very l1nf@vorable for them. The Germans, on the other hand. claim that they have inflicted heavy losses on the Rus Eiaas between Lodz and Lowicz.
 The military authorities in Petro- grad, assuming that the unofficial re- ports of victory are true, express agtonishment that the Germans should have attack Lodz, for they say defeat there was inevitable. The Germans, who advanced from the north and south, these military observers add. doubtless intended to seize the rail- way between Skirniewice and Poitr- 1tDw and interrupt communication be- &Dgeen the northern and southern Rus.
