London, Nov. 25.-After suffering
severe losses during the battle wage1
between the Vistula and the Warta
rivers and forced to retreat when the
Russians hurled vast numbers OF
fresh troops into the battle, the Ger
mans are now precipitately retiring to
the region of the fortresses OF Posen.
It is expected that here they Will
make their next stand against the
Russian army under Grand Duke
Nicholas. This Information was re-
ceived in London in dispatches from
Petrograd.
From various sections of the Ger.
man empire reinforcements are being
rushed to that section to strengthen
the defeated army. They will be join
ed near the stronghold of Posen, and
the first big battle on German soil Is
expected to be waged there In the
near future.

General Won Hindenberg had been

The Russians are theoretically
pursuing the enemy.
The Russians are also vigorously
attacking along the Czenstochowa'

one of the most important and per.

the Bzura river, though the position
was not the most favorable. The
Germans were always in superior
