BOTH SIDES 1S TERRIFIC Lull Likely in East- ern War Zong. GERMANS PURSUING RETIRING RUSSIANS Latte Preparing fo Make Stand at New Position, ek o P R LR X L * Lo London, Dec. 10.—Emperor ++ William is suffering from pneu- o+ o o K3 &k monia, which is combined witi nervous depression, dut to overexertion, according to tele- grams from Berlin, forwarded by the Amsterdam correspond- ent of the Exchange Telegraph company. The message adds that the German emperor’s doctors have advised him not to return to the front. B T R A e e e e e e e ol ok b London, Dec. 10.—The center of the Cerman army having occupied Lodz, it is continuing in pursuit of the re- tiring Russians, who have come to 2 standstill in a strongly fortified posi-| tion, according to the official German statement. The statement adds that east of the Warta river the fighting for Lowicz continues. The strain on both sides has been terrific and the losses heavy and it is believed that a lull probably will set in soon on this part of the battle front while the troops recuperate. The Rissians continue to assert that their retirement from Lodz was a strategical necessity rather than a defeat, but it will take further de- velopments to show whether this claim is correct or not. Twice driven from Warsaw the Germans again are in a position to advance on the capital of Russian Poland, and even the British press, which minimizes the impor- that it is on the trunk line railroad be-| tween Kalisz and Warsaw, which line is being held by the Germans to al point considerably to the east of Lodz. Viewing “the fighting in the Lodz | region in retrospect it would appear that Germany a month ago had a crushing victory almost within her grasp and lost it by not being able to unite her forces, while later the Rus- sians were successful in gaining a dominant position, which they could not hold. Germans on the Defensive. In the western area, while it would appear still generally true that the Germans are more on the defensive than the offensive, the news that they have made a violent attack to the south of Ypres indicates that they have not abandoned the idea of break- ing through to the French coast, and it is said the pick of the German western army has been concentrated for this latest effort. Attacks by the alli ind counter attacks by the Ger- w apparently have not made es- sential changes thus far in the posi- tions of the opposing armies. The Germans have resumed the offensive in Belgium from the sea to the River Lys. Artillery and infantry fighting ! occurred in the region of the Aisne, and on the heights of the Meuse and in the V s hard fighting is in prog- ress, according to the French official statement. The French statement claims the positions won by the French during the past few days have been strength- ened and veports the occupation of ‘German trenches in the Aisne region, with progress on this front except at one point where the Germans blew up a French trench. The French state- ment says the French artillery on the heights of the Meuse showed itself the master of the artillery of the in- vaders. The French claim some prog- ress here, as well as in the Argonne and the forest of Le Petre, where they occupied some German trenches. ' R EOR RO RO ) - ALLIES ENDEAVORING TO PUSH FORWARD. Paris, Dec. 10.—Advancing along the L.a Bassee canal the allied forces are endeavoring to push forward in this region in the general movement to gain control of the important highway from Roulers to Lille, Lens and Arras. The German resistance in this section is reported to have been greatly weakened by heavy withdrawals of troops which have been sent to the eastern front or distributed along other points of the west- ern line threatened in. the past week. it Gl JRORE X R Y B R s e b i e e e o e e e e e s e E3 < -+ +* -+ * * -+ R R R Rl R R X RUSSIAN TRENCH.
