RUSSIANS HOLDING - GERMANS Gzar's Forces Heav- ily Entrenched. ALLIES GLAIM GAINS IN WESTERN ARENA Operations Apparently Turn Into General Engagement. | London, Dec. 22.—The great battle to the west of Warsaw has yet to be fought out, judging from the indica- tions conveyed in recent dispatches from Berlin and Petrograd. It ap- pears to British military observers that the German contention that Gen- eral von Hindenburg had scored a notable success over the Russians must be qualified. The German army commanded by General von .Hindenburg has made a steady advance in the direction of the Polish capital, but the Russians, in falling back, appear .to have taken new positions in strong: entrench- ments and in spite of the fact that the invaders are within two or three days’ march of Warsaw there is good rea- son to believe that hard fighting must come before the Germans can occupy the Polish city. Petrograd advices say the Russian forces still are holding at bay the German column which is seeking to cross the Bzura river at Soxhaczew and advance on Warsaw. For three days this German army of 200,000 men has been endeavoring to cross the river and throw back 'thé Rus- stans, 'who are holding the right bank. The Russians, according to''a Pétro- grad dispatch, are heavily .eatrenched® and their artillery is so placed that it commands the river to its junction with the Vistula river, eighteen miles; north. | Sweep Against Russians. Along the southern frontier of East | Prussia, which is north of the Vis- tula river, the Russians say they have the upper hand, but further to the south, in Southern Poland, as well as in Galicia, the leaders of the Austro- German forces declare they are sweep- ing the Russians before them. That ; the Russians have retreated a consid- erable distance in the last few days | is borne out by a Petrograd dispatch which says that southward from the | Bazura river the Russian line extends to Opoczno, twenty-five miles east of Pietrkow, which they recently evacu- ated, and forty-five miles east of, Sczerczow, where the Russians first; opposed ,the German extreme right. | This shows the Russians have been | driven back forty-five miles since the‘ evacyation of Lodz, which the Rus- sians say was a logical sequence of the retirement to their third line of | defense. "he Russians claim, how- | ever, this retirement to the south of | Ledz has no bearing on the attack on | Warsaw. { The vigorous Austrian offensive in Southern Poland and Galicia has ne-| cessitated the withdrawal of many troops herctolore used in Servia and | in guarding the Danube frontier, and ; there are indications that the Aus-| trian attempts to crush Servia will| be abandoned for the time being. Allies Report Gains. The operations of the allies in! Filanders and Northern France, after a | long period of sporadic fighting at de-' tached points, apparently have assum- ed the character of a general move- | ment in an attempt to press back the entire German line. The French offi- cial statement says that appreciable | gains have been made not only in Flanders, but at other points in the long battle line, although it is ad- mitted that the Germans are resisting with determination. The French statement says the day brought nothing of importance in Bel- gium, if exception is made of some progres. in .the region of Lombaertiz- yde and St. Georges and at a point to the southeast of the Inn of Kortaker, which is southeast of Bixschoote; the occupation of some houses in War- ‘we can afford to sell. design .......oouenennn 240 designs Loose link cuff buttons 116 Third Street, [FANCY INAUGURATION Democrats Consider Reception and Formal Ball Following Induction of Governor-elect Hammond.

Fifth—When in doubt go slow or stop. All automobilists are requested to obey to the letter these nine com- mandments of the road: Don’t run fast into or main highways. Don’t take blind -curves too fast. Don’t run on the wrong side of the road. ¢ Don’t pass street cars when pas- sengers are boarding or leaving.
