LITTLE DETAIL OF BATTLE 111 PQLIIIID A Berlin Report States German Attack in the North Is Gaining Ground PLACE OF ACTION NOT MADE KNOWN Military Correspondent of Berlin News paper Assumes That the Attack Is Being Directed Against Russian Po sitions in the Rear of Lodi Benin. Dec. 11. via The Hague and London, Dec. 1-', 2.20 A. M.— It is doubtful if shorter reports witSi loss de tail ever have been given concerning The progress of a great battle than the series covering the operations in Po land. Today's bulletin is typical. It says: "Our attack in Northern Poland is pmg ground. There is uothiug tie A ttrom Southern Poland." No indication is given as to where this attai k is occurring ou the extend ed front. Major Moraht, military correspondent of the "Berliner Tageblatt," who oc tasionaliy seems to have special sources or information, assumes that the attack - being directed against tie Russiau positions immediately in the rear of l**i/, wnere the Russians have forti tied the line of the Miazga. a small stream twelve or fifteen miles east of t.ie city. [\ie Russians have a faculty ot fortifying a series of positions iu the r -ar, one behind air, and hence t >s difficulty for a successful opponent to get the Russian masses readily into ac tion towards the rear. Pictures Strateggy of Battle Major Moraht pictures the strategy of the battie as a thrust against the main army standing between the Vis tula river and Lodr. while a wide dank ing movement is in progress from the north from East Prussia and Augtro- German forces in Southern Poland are u.-crating to prevent the detachment of any reserves to assist the threatened Russian center. The German army in the center, says the major, "is faced with the task of thrusting its opponents back bodily because The left wing of this army is now near Lowicz and has not advanced far enough toward the Russian line of «ommun'ication to exercise a decisive effect on the Russian retirement from Lodx. The northern force, operating from Fast Prussia, has advanced about twenty.five miles into Poland, a quarter of the distauce to Warsaw. Major (Marah; believes any further advance may force the Russians to divert their strategic reserves at Warsaw to heal off this new danger. View on Western Situation Concerning the situation in me west. Major Moraht says that from the French point of view the time may seem rue to inaugurate a general advance, Ger many is engage.! in an all-important struggle in Poland and the German at tacks on the front in Flanders have i eased temporarily. The situation :i the ; ast few weeks las g ven the time to bring up voung troops and tiie British opportun ity to get Colonial reinforcements to toe iron*. Although this strengthening is couutera ted to a certain extent by t.ie ret -rn to Morocco of African troops TV -io were unable to stand the climate tmd are neede 1 in Africa, Major Moraht says that it cannot be predicted .vheth er" all these ircumstanees will lead to i a at'n < nst tie German fortiael f-on". .it he believes that General •'offre. ■ ommander-in-chief of the French f >r'e«. s too *-»e to risk a big ven ture at this nine No Great Change Lately No grc it • arje has oc.urre l ou the western front lately says the corre - ••n lent, except that La Basse, where t: e:e iii< .>een a slight German advance i«nd west of Verdune where the Germans have reached a point within eight miles ot :h v ralway "between Verdun. Ca'ons and Paris aa.i about twenty miles north west of the fort line of Verdune. Major Moral.: says the German situations here i- favorable and he considers that this offers the best pros e-ts of any point on th» west front for bringing affairs to a decision. <«KK)IAX> >HOW l\« SItiNS OF IMSCOUFORT ALONG F.iOM London.
