LULL IN THE FIGHTING
Forces of Grand Duke Nicholas Said
10 be Prepared to Press Vigorous
Attacks on Kaiser.

Petrograd, Dec 3-The failure of
The Russian forces to envelop the
German army in the vicinity of LodZ
and the determined offensive taken by
the Kaiser's army in fighting its way
out of the corner into which it had
been driven, placed the Russians in a
serious position for a time.
This it is evident today made neces-
sary the reforming of the Russian
center in Poland. There has conse-
Gucntly been a lull in the fighting, but
the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas
are now declared to present a solid
front and are prepared to press a
vigorous attack.
1t is declared the failure of General
Rennenkamp to arrive on schedule
with his command, when the Germans
,sere all but trapped, is responsible
for failure of the Russians to gain Il
victory of great proportions. Rem
renkamp has been relieved of his
command. Many of the prisoners
taken by the Germans were captured
as the result of his delay. When the
Germans broke through the Russian
lines, however, large force to the
south of Lodz found itself cut off.
Re-enforcements continue to ar
rive for the Germans. Some of these
forces are coming from Belgium, ac
cording to reports reaching the capi-
tai.
On the southern front the Russian
successes are becoming more pro-
rounced. The Austrian troops have
Been steadily driven back. The ex-
tremely cold weather accompanied by
sleet and snow has caused heavy los
scs to the enemy through sickness and
exhaustion.
The Austrians are not well equip
ped for winter campaigning, it is de-
clared. and are not able to withstand
the hardships on which the Russian
troops are thriving. One Russian
force is reported within eight miles
Of Cracow. The advance from Bochna,
southeast of the city, continues in the
enveloping moveme"s.

POSITION OF HOLLAND
Fear That Allies Will Compensate
Rival if They Win in Conquest

The Dutch have long tradition OF
peace, says Arthur Bullard in the Out
look. They have little to gain by
war and much to lose. Much Of their
industrial life is dependent on the
commerce up the Rhine, which Of
course would be lost if they joined
TIE allies in war against Germany,
But of.equal. if not greater impor-
tance are the overseas possessions. By
shrewd and on the whole enlightened
administration they have made their
colonies in the East and West Indies
pay. The densely populated home
land is largely supported by them.
And, of course, these rich colonies will
be lost if they JOIN Germany against
the allies. E,' .'',l
} another element in the Situation is
the traditional jealousy between Bel
gi,m and Holland. If the allies win.
rhey will certainly compensate Bel
gilm for. its heroic role in the war.
And the one thing that Begium wants
is that slice Of Dutch territory which
Shuts off1Antwerp from the sea.
Holland will do its utmost to keep
on the very narrow path Of neutrality.
But it will not be surprising if it
is soon forced to take sides.
