Washington, Dec S.-The lessons
drawn from the European war were
discussed before the house military
and naval committees today by Brig
| adler General Crozier, Chief OF ordance
Of the army; and Rear Admiral
Badger, the navy's general staff.
Crozier said the United States would
never need guns similar to the great
German Howitzer's which demolished
Belgium's forts. He pointed ou that
the French-Belgian border was defen-
ded by armored forts and that the
Germans brought up these special guns
to demolish them. He said that the
United States was not going up against
anything like that, and claimed that
the American field guns were as good
as any In the world.
Badger told the naval committee that
"ship for ship the United States navy
is equal to, If not better than that of
Germany or any other nation
Admiral Badger said he left the fleet
in excellent condition and had no apoi-
ogies to make for It to anybody. He
contended that for adequate naval de-
fense there should be 48 battleships
with torpedo boat destroyers to each
ship OF the line, whereas there are now
including those building or under con-
struction 40 battleships and So torpe-
do destroyers.
Regarding ordance, Gen. Crozier said
the United States has no need to feel
uncomfortable.

London, Dec. S.-The great battle
for possession of Poland continues
The front extends along three hundred
miles. Victory over part of it. at least,
appears to have fallen to the Germans,
while the Russians are pressing on
Cracow in the south.
That 1odz is in possession of the
Germans appears undoubted. A Rus
sian official report has just been is
sued, apparently preparing TIE public
for it's announcement, which already
has been made in the German official
report. The Russian report refers to
the difficulty in defending the city,
which gives the Russian front an alb
normal contour, and forecasts a re-
forming Of the lines.
No details of the mighty battles in
the Poland are yet available. The fact
that there has been fearful slaughter
and intense suffering from cold about
comprises the total information re-
ceived. The Germans claim they are
pursuing the Russians south and
southeast Of Lodz.
Nothing has been heard from the
several American correspondents with.
the Russian armies. There evidently
is strict censorship.
British military. experts insist That
three-fourths of the best material in
the German army has been held In
the west, and that the troops opposing
the Russians consist principally of Sec
ond line organizations.
The French official report tonight
said the Germans made a violent at
tack on the allies at Steloy, south of
Ypres, but were repulsed. This may
mean a renewal of the German at

lines. Elsewhere in the west there
have been only local engagements.
