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.

CZAR 2 MILES FROM CRACOW
Garrison Night Sorties Eepulsod,
Report From Petrograd.
rKTBOGRAD, Dec. 5.
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.
