LosDoN. oct. 26.-There has been no
slackcning Of tho retreat OF the Ger
man armies from before Warsaw, ac-
cording to the best information here.
Apparently the Kaiser's troops have
been driven from position after position
and have been forced to continue thor
hurried marches toward the frontier
without getting a moments rest from
the pursuing armies which the Grad
Duke Nicholas is pushing forward At
top speed.
Dispatches from Rome indicate that
the Germans are now making for
Kaliscz and are abandoning munitions
and supplies in their efforts 10 escape
the pressing attacks Of tho RuSsi1r
cavalry. which executed the fanking
movement that broke the German lines.
Kaliscz Is about 1876 miles due west VI
Warsaw and almost on the East prus-
sian frontier. Just inside of East Prus-
STA lies the second prepared line of de-
fence, where the Germans are expected
to make a stand in their effort to pre-
vent an invasion OF Posen and Silcsia.
A., An official bulletin issued tonight ~
the Russian war office in Petrograd,
! after stating that the Germans ara
evacuating LODI, seventy-five miles
southwest OF Warsaw, says:
The precipitate flight of the Ger
mans continues. They made an un-
successful attempt to arrest the uffcl-
sive Russian movement by clinginS TO
positions at Sokhatchoff. from which,
however they were dislodged with
heavy losses.
ITO the northwest the Germans have
been driven back approximately sixty
eight miles"
From Austrian and German sources
there comes no admission Of "A defeat in
Russian Poland. all statements assert
ing that the opposing foyes there are
still facing one another and that tho
issue is undecided
Russians Again In Lembers.
From Berlin. by way of Amsterdam. a
report reaches here that the Russians
are again occupying Lembcrg in force
For a time It had been believed that
the Galician city had either been re-
captured by the Austrians or had beer
abandoned by tho Russians II now
appears that tho Russian army kept a
garrison force in LemberG and that the
town was never given up. Tho Vos-
SiSche Zcitung Of Berlin IL quoted as
saying that the Russians have now sent
10000 men there and that all indica-
, tions are that Russia intends 10 keep
possession at any cost.
