Germany’s effort to crush the great armies of Russia :
has met with a check according to statements emanating -
from Russian sources. Earlier in he week, both Berlin
and .l’etrograll reported that the Russian center was fall- .‘
log back before the German advance over the snowmov- ’
cred fields of Poland, but it, is now asserted at the Rus~ \ ’
sian capital that this movement has been halted. It is in-
timated in the same quarters that the latest turn in the
campaign is likely to have “decisive consequences for l
the enemy."
The official Russian report of the capture of a battery ‘5'
at Lodz is interpreted as significant, suggesting a Rtts~ it
sinn flanking,r movement. largo reinforcements, it ll!
said. have liCCll thrown in by the Russians. From Ben
iin lim-vrvcr, came the statement that tho (lerrnansare
making steady progress. not Only in tile center but in the
north. driving back the Russians from the frontier of
East Prussia. Unofficial advices from the west are to the‘ '
effect that German reinforcements are still being rush
in Belgium the fighting still drags‘dn in “I 'tlettdF
tory manner. Along the Yser attempts at military SC: ,
tivitics have been virtually abandoned, largely on ac- , I
count. of the weather. At Brussels the ,tcmpcrature is U
below the freezing point. The fall of snow has ceased,
but the abatement of the storm has brought no relief "
from the hardships of the soldiers in the cold and wet;
without means of obtaining slfeltcr. ‘ L.
Servia has broken the silence she maintained for RV‘ '
cral days, to deny the Austrian claims to a great victory.
The Servinn legation at Athens, while admitting that
the Austrins compelled a retreat from‘ Valjcvo, states
that the Scrvians Withdrcw in good'ordcr without any
serious fighting. and that they are now occupying advan—
tageous positions, really to engage the advancing- Aus-
trians. -
