BY FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY, Staff Correspondent the International

News Service. PETROGRAD, Dec. 10 The Ger

mans in Poland have received 300,000

reinforcements, according to an offi

cial review of the military situation in

Poland and Galicia, published in the Army Messenger today. The review follows:

"The Russian army operating in Galicia has successfully brought its campaign into the final stages. This gives the Russian southern position great

strength, which strength is further in- j creased by the new alignment to the j

north. "Since the withdrawal of the Russians from the exposed angle around Lodz they have now concentrated upon a satisfactory strategic line running southward through Lowicz to Cracow and northward across the Vistula to the present area of fighting around Mlawa. "This line is especially advantageous for the Russians, for it enables the

Muscovite forces which defeated the Austro-German attempts to advance eastward south of Cracow, to begin flanking operations in Southern Poland and Galicia. "Incessant fighting is in progress at both ends of the 500 mile battle line. In the extreme south the reinforced Russian army which was crossing from the Duanjec westward, has overwhelmed the Austro-German army which had for its task the duty of frustrating the investment of Cracow. "The Twenty-fourth German army corps, newly arrived from the arena of operations in Western Belgium, was put upon the firing line upon Its arrival. It had a big amount of mechan

ical equipment and was given the task of holding the broken ground near the base of the Carpathians. The nature

of the topography was a strong help to the Russians in this region and the Germans received such a defeat that the remanants of the corps was withdrawn, leaving the Austrians unsupported to hold the position. The Germans lost a number of guns and many men in prisoners. Its casualties were enormous. "It is estimated that the Germans have brought 300,000 men, including sixty thousand cavalrymen from the western theatre of war to the eastern.

Part of them have been sent into East Prussia, where the Germans are engaged in renewing their campaign."

The net loss will be $7,000,000. We shall rebuild at once, but the new plant will have an adequate watc-i system.
