The success Of General Pau's opera

waited weaking of the German de-
ensive en- this line.
The main attack was made from
he north and west, the forces facing
o the eastward occupying the at

while the thanking column worked

y the town and took possession of
The ruins of the chateau to the
northwest of the village, which had

previous engagements. Important po-
tition Of this style is of great advan-
tage to the French, for it permits of

have been brought up to command
the main batteries defending the

The attack upon Muelhausen is re-

| Berlin, Dec. 29.-By wireless to
Sayville, L. 1.-The following COM
ment on the military situation was
issued tonight by the official press
bureau:
I'll view or the fact that previous
| reports from headquarters that opera
lions were proceeding favorably, gen.
orally have been followed eventually
by reports of victory, one is justified
in considering the situation in the
| east as promising of successful out
come for the Germans.
1T was reported some days ago
that the Germans had occupied some
| points on the eastern bank of the
Bzura, and inasmuch is no word has
come of the abandonment of these 30
sitions. the conclusion is justified
that all have been held and that it
is probable that other positions have
been gained.
Undoubtedly the Russians have
strengthened their forces opposing
the Austrians in Galicia and the lat
ter have been compelled to make new
disposition of their troops which will
require some time.
Local experts make an attempt to
picture the Russian occupation of the
line from Krosno to Jaslo as no real
gain for the Russians, but, on the
contrary. as weakening of their po-
sion. This view, however, is un-
doubtedly too optimistic and the fact
must befaced that the Russian ex-
IRENE left wing is proving itself SUI
perior to it's opponents for the pres
ent. The Russian action in strength
ening their forces there is due I'M
doubtedly to thir ralization of what
h encircling of their flank in Ga
licia would signify.
News of Importance is likely to
come from the Vosges region at any
time, since the Fernch undoubtedly
have assembled strong forces along
the line Belfort- Epinel-T
They still hold the Vosges passes, and
appear to be developing new activity
along the extended line against Al
SAGE and Sendagau."
