The German attack in central Po-
Iand thus far has failed to make q
gap in the Russian lines which would
open the way to Warsaw, and appar-
entity the only result of the battle has
been heavy losses on both sides. Pet
rograd has announced the capture Of
several German positions, but the gen.
eral alignment Of the opposing armies
has not been changed materially.
Minor victories there and in northern
Poland are reported by the Russian
war office today.
In spite of the desperate nature of
the fighting in front Of Warsaw, 1t is
generally believed in England that the
most critical action is developing in
the Carpathians, where the reported
Russian reverse will compromise the
new campaign opening against Hun
gary.
The German army in the Argonne
has begun another of the repeated at
tacks which have made that section of
eastern France one of the most bitterly

Berlin. Dec. 31.-The following com
ment on the military situation was
issued on Tuesday by the official press
bureau:
In view of the fact that previous
reports from headquarters that oper-
alton were proceeding fayorably gen
orally have been followed eyentu-
ally by reports of victories, one is
justified In considering the situation
in the East as promising a successful
outcome for the Germans.
This view, however, is undoubtedly
too optimistic and the fact must be
faced that the Russians extreme left
wing is proving itself superior to its
opponents for the present.
The Russians action In strengthen
ing their forces there undoubtedly is
due to their realization of what the
encircling of their flank in Galicia
would signify"

Russian military circles point out
that all the important passages Of the
Carpathians are again in Russian
hands. and that those still held by the
Austrians afford them no advantage.
A Petrograd news agency dispatch
says: The Russians are now hold
ing the Germans In check along the
lower Vistula and the Pilica. The
