Official reports concerning the cam
paign in Russian Poland, which were
available in tho dispatches still failed
to make clear tho confused situation
in tho cast, whero for days a great
Russian victory has been claimed in
unofficial advices from Petrograd and
London.
Earl Kitchener's statement in the
House of Commons that tho Germans
had suffered tho greatest disaster in
their history, remained open to chal
lenge by Berlin. It is said that pow
erful Teuton armies, driven on to des
porato efforts by tho peril of their po
sition, havo cut their way through
solid lines of enveloping Russians.
What it has cost has not yet been
told, but It Is Indicated that tho Ger
mnns, In extricating themselves have
Inlllcted enormous losses on tho enemy,
If it is truo thnt tho Germans have
freed thomselvos from tho present
(lunger of a crushing defeat in Poland,
tho situation to tho north and south)
Is still pictured as menacing to them j
Tho Importance of the campaign to
tho north is Indicated by tho fact that
Emperor William lias gone into east I
Prussia to direct personally tho move-1
ments against the Invading Russians j
Nowhere else is German territory I
threatened by an invading army, ex-l
copt In a small part of Alsace, which
has been helped by tho French sinco
tho early days of tho war. To tho
south, in Galicla, also tho Russians
nro reported to bo pressing forward
victorious, surrounding Cracow on all
sides.
