!ui important improvement which

hu street, in the Second district,‘
through to Munroe street, was last eve-
ning authorized by the City Council,
which passed a resolution, presented
by Councilman l-lurry W. blather, to
this effect. .

This extension will be of particular
advantage to automobllists from upper
Norwalk; who will be afforded a direct
route to the South Not-walk station by
turning from West avenue into West
street and thence down Franklin
street, instead of suffering the innu~
merable delays caused frequently by
the. congestion of traffic at the Junction
of Washington and North Main streets.

The Russian War Office states that a serious tie:
fcut has been inflicted on the Germans in. one of the
three war areas in the east. It is announced that in the
region of Cracow, Galicia, the Germans were put to rout,
their right wing being turned, and that they are still
being pursued. German losses are described as enor—
It has been suggested in London that the Rus~
slams would couqtcnt themselves IWIEII remaining on the I
defensive in Poland, following recent German successes} 1
there, and that, sending reinforcements into Cracow, they I
would atcmpt to invade Germany from the south, across
the Silesia border. ‘ ~ ‘

Although Russia has not yet admitted the fall of
Lodz. the official hittiottnccmcnt contains the suggeétion , i
that the lighting in that vit‘iiiity'llas been less in her fa—
vor than is saidvtu be the cam; in tiuiicia. It is stated .
that in the battle ncnr l‘it‘lrkow, a Polish city twenty— O
five miles southeast of Lodz. "we wvrc only partially suc- .’.
Cruel-til.”

IIIIMIS.

To the north engagements are in progress to the cast ’ Ly
of the fordcr of East Prussia. A previous official state-‘*.
meut front Iicrlin spoke of the presence of Russians on .
Gerntantcrritory about thirty miles west of the frou- z
tier. . x. ' I ;

According to current reports in Rome, Germany
does not look to Italy as a possible ally, and is bending:
all her efforts to keep that nation out of the war; it is, - .
suiththht Prince von linelow, the former German Chan;
ccllor, now serving as ambassador to Rome, has been
authorized to arrange the erosion. by Austria to Italy of
the Province of Trent. This province, formerly Italian
territory, and populutetl largely by Italians, has been in
possession of Austria for a century. ‘

Attacks by Allies and counter-attacks by the Geo
mans in the west apparently have not. thus ‘far tnadc es-
scntial changes in the positions of the oppreing armies.
The German have resumed the offensive in Belgium with
force. In the Argonne also hard fighting is in progress.

 

LONDON, Dec. 9,,ttz4o a. m.——'l‘hc center of the
German line in Russian Poland having occupied Lodz, it"
is continuing to push on to the eastward after the Ire- "
tiring Russians, according to official announcement tirade.
in Berlin. Nevertheless, the strain on both sides has been
terrific and the losses heavy. so that a lull probably will.
set in soon on this part of the eastern battle front while
the troops recuperate. _ , .

The Russians continue to assert that their retire-

‘ment from Lodz was a strategical necessity rather than -.

a retreat. but it will take future (levclopmentr to show
whether this claim is correct. or not. Twice driven back . a
front Warsaw, the Germans again are in a position to ad-

u'ltnce on the capital of Russian Poland, and ‘cvcn the ~

British press, which minimizes the importance of the talc—c

ing of Lodz, points out that it is on the trunk lino rails: ..
road between Kalise and X'Vsrsaw, which line is none" 7.
held by the invaders probably to a point considerably to
the cast of the occupied city. ‘ ‘

Viewing the fighting in the, vicinity of Lodz, in ref
trospect, it would appear that Germany had a crushing
victory almost within her grasp and lost it by not being"
able to ioin up her forces while later the Russians Were
successful in gaining a. dominant position which they 3
could not hold. ‘

In the western arena. while it would appearstill to be
‘It‘llC‘I’a‘IIy true that the Germans are more on the defensive .
than the offensive. the news that thv have made a violent?
