GERMAN LINE SWUM BACK TWENTY MILES IN POLAND CAMPAIGN Desperate Fighting Marks' Clash of Foes' Centres. Kaiser's Offensive Con tinues, But Czar's Army Holds Firm. PETItOGRAD, Dec. B. Tho Russian ofllclat statement of today, while claiming no complete victory, Indi cates that the Germans have been swung back 20 mllci nt one Important point In their main- line of advance townrd War saw. Desperate nghtm is now in prosreaa along the main road between Lowlcz and Lodz. Glovono, mentioned In the official statement as being In tho line ot the fighting front, Is about half way botwoen these two points. Tho official statement, therefore, Indi cates that tho Germans have not been driven from Lowlcz, tho easternmost point readied In their advance, but with this town as n pivot hnve boen swung back M miles from Sklernlwlco upon Glovno, directly west. Tho Germans contlnuo to hold the left bank of the Vistula. The ItUBsians, how over, aro making a determined effort to cross the rivtr, and this would menn a serious thrust nt the German lino of com munications. The Germans maintain a nedgo in the Russian lines with Lowlcz as tho apex, but their front has evidently been extended by tho Russian attack. The German advance over the western roads toward Lodz and Flotrkow and the general development of the campaign, has resulted in a Klg-zag battle line. The claims of thousands of prisoners captured made by both sides appear probable ow ing to tho great extent of tho battle front and tho possibilities of cutting oft detachments owing to tho Interlacing of the lines at some points. Desperate fighting Is In progress in Po land, where the reformed German centre continues Its offensive against tho Rus sian centre. The Russian official statement Issued today does not mention a victory at Lodz such as was announced yesterday by the Bourse Gazette. The statement declares: "On the left bank of the Vistula there was obstinate fighting on December 3. Also along the Glovno-Lowlcz front and nn the western roads toward Lodz and Plotrkow the conflict wages vigorously, "On the northern and southern fronts, the situation Is unchanged." Unolllclul indications that the Germans have suffered very heavily In Poland con tinue, A message from Lodz states that 10 cannon and 75 machine guns taken from tho enemy have been brought to that tuwn. The views of the military critics differ considerably as to the meaning of the curious development of the battle of Lodz. Some believe that the Germans are now merely making tremendous ef forts to extricate a portion of their army from a position of deadly peril, and that the object of the masses of reinforce ments which they are bringing up Is to cover the retreat of the exhausted corps on which the brunt of the protracted conflict has fallen. In the opinion of others, the enemy Is still bent on the aggressive and hopes by persistent ef forts to effect a breach in the Russian line.

FAMOUS SIEGES SHOWN BY DIAGRAM Tap Ammm-ISTM WAR MOVES FREE BRITAIN FOR EAST AFRICAN CAMPAIGN Collapse of Boer Revolt to be Followed by Determined Invasion of Germany's Colonial Possessions. De Wet's Capture Raises Problem. By J. W. T. MASON NEW YORK, Deo. 6. The capture ot Goneral Do Wet prob ably will bring tho South African re bellion to an end and will rolleve British troops for operations against German East nnd West Africa Tho open activ ity ot the rebels has not assumed serious Importance nt any time Tho chief ftar of the British authorities has been that if the leaders of tho Insurrection wero not speedily cnught a moral effect would bo produced on the Uoers generally, and umest might continue until the end of tho war Colonel SInrltz, who led the initial mutiny, is out of action because of wounds, nnd General De Wet Is a prisoner. Thtso twu wero the chlet m Eplrers of the Insurrection Their le mcvnl from the field, after so rapid a campaign, will probably have a decIMva effect on unruly Boers, who nro extreme ly careful of their own skins. De Wet's capture raises a serious prob lem for the British In South Africa By every rule of war this soldier, who mu tinied while the enemy was nttncklng his country, should be shot The aftHlr, how ever, has an extenuating clicumstniice De Wet was one of the thief lenders of tho B"ers In their war against England, and fought to preserve his country's In dependonte.' lie may contend that his piesent revolt was not for the purpose of helping Germany, but that he wanted to restore South Afrlcn to Its former fieedom.

It Is possible that the early subjugation of the Boer mutiny will keep Portugnl out of the war.

Several sorties made during the night by the Austro-German garrison at Cra cow were repulsed by tho Russians, It was announced at military headquarters today. The Russian army under Gen eral Dlmltrleff Is only two miles from the defenses of the city and is preparing for the siege of the Gallclan fortress. The Austrian population In the city Is fleeing- In thousands toward Vienna. Ger man residents are hastening northward. Refugees from the city aro spreading alaim enough in northern Hungary, but something like panic has been caused by the reappearance of Ruaulan troops on the Hungarian plain. The Poles aro deeply perturbed by the prospects of a Blege of Cracow. They object to the defenders placing machine guns and observation points on the his toric buildings of the citadel They de clare that the fire of the Austro.Germans could much more easily be directed from the hills commanding the city. 10c ron Tiiten ou 60KE FKET FOUNTAIN BRAND BATHING SODA ti en iU at the following- drur lor In Philadelphia t l50, II.
