HEAVY LOSSES MARK RETREAT Spectacular Advance on Warsaw is Foiled by Flanking Movement and Guns and Prisoners Taken—Naval Battle Off Uruguay Imminent—Russ Attac kon Przemysl Repulsed. The correspondent at Petrograd of the Matin says: “The Russians, after having checked the German offensive on the Plock-Leczen front, gained on that side a brilliant decisive victory. The enemy, who nad heavy losses, is fleeing with al) speed toward the German frontier. An entire German regiment surrendered to the victors. The Russians are energetically pursuing the enemy. They also are vigorously attacking along the CzenstcchowaCracow line. This day seems to mark cne of the most important and perhaps decisive phases of the war?’ British and German war vessels have been sighted off the Uruguayan coast, and a battle is imminent. The British steamship Crtepa, bound for chile, has been instructed to remain at Montevideo. The Austrian garrison at Przemysl successfully attacked the Russian troops besieging that fortress, according to an official report from the Austrian general staff. LONDON — The Times’ Petrogiad correspondent, in a dispatch sunlementing one declaring that private reports received in the Russian capital had confirmed reports of a Russian victory over the Germans in Poland says: “According to unofficial information received here the German army of 401), 00,', which made an irruption between the Vistula and Warthe rivers, has been broken up into several parts, one of which was compelled to divert its course southward and another northward. Flanked by the Russians. “Apparently in each case the Russian forces suceeded in getting behind these disjointed corps and inflicted upon them great losses. “The Germans are believed to have suffered very heavy reverses at Brezeziny and Tuszyn. ft i s impossible as yet to give even approximate figures.” German Retreat Announced. An official communication given out in Petrograd, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch, announces a German retreat in Polapd. The statement follows: “Between the Vistula and the Warthe the Germans have retreated from the line running from Strykow to Egierz, Szadek, Zdunska, Wola and Wozniki.” The line from which the Germans have retreated runs from th? northeast of Lodz down past that town and to the southwest. Says Crown Prince Repulsed. The Daily Telegraph’s Petrograd • correspondent intimates that the Germr.- crown prince’s army during the 1. five days threatened Warsaw, but aas severely repulsed. The correspondent says, however, that his forces arrived alarmingly close to Warsaw before they were checked. "At Plock,” the correspondent continues, "five German corps were opposed by only two Russian corps, which, after putting up a desperate defense, were compelled to retire. This left the road to Warsaw open and the Germans pushed ahead, staking all on arriving at Warsaw before rcenforcements could be brought ur, leaving their line of communication to take care of itself. Russians Make Stand at Bzura. “The Russians made a stand on the Bzura river, though The position wa.t not the most favorable. The Germans were always in superior numbers, but a number of Russian dorps were moving speedily against immense difficulties of transportation toward the threatened quarter. “But for the German skill in retirement they would be in a perilous position. They are in a long tongue of land between the Vistula and the Warthe, depending entirely on these walls of water to defend their flanks No commanding general would take such chances unless he knew that ri was impossible to smash through on his flank. This is not impossible. General Rennenkampf i s operating in tne north. Let this hint suflic-i.” New Raid on Calais Planned. , LONDON — A Times correspondent in Flanders, writing Sunday, says he expects a fresh German at-u-mpt to break through the allied lino to Calais, and considers that this will certainly be the final attempt, because all preparations have been made for a retreat in the direction of Bruges, Ghent, or Brussels immediately. HH message continues: ‘Strong positions have been established in tne vicinity or all these towns and ail necessary transport*-

CZAR AND ARMY CHIEF I Russian Ruler Talking to Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch. W’CM Photo by American Press Association. A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR. Thursday, Nov. 19.—The German wedge from Posen would appear to have driven the Russian center more than fifty miles back from the frontier so that the line is now about midway between German territory and Warsaw. Elsewhere along the great eastern frontier the Russians, where they are not progressing, seem to be holding their own. Paris reports heavy- cannonading be tween the coast and Lys. Berlin asserts that a French attack in the Argonne was repulsed. Elsewhere on the western battle front the deadlock continues with no decisive outcome in sight. Friday, Nov. 20.—The German statement said that the Russians were epntir.ung their retreat in Poland, but that in eastern Prussia they had captured an unoccupied fort. Such reports as were received frfom the eastern zone •f fighting showed that the German army w-as pressing the Russians back through Russian Poland, over the same battlefields across which the Russians a few week s ago were advancing victoriously. Winter having interrupted fighting alcng the North sea coast. Germany is making an effort to pierce the line of the allies at another point. The French war office announced to day that in the region of the Argonne forest, where severe engagements hake been in progress for the last few days, three vigorous attacks had been made by German infantry. These assaults, it is said, were repulsed. The outcome of the naval battle In the Black sea is tn doubt. No inforpiation was received to reconcile tne conflicting claims of Russia and Turkey each of which asserted that a hostile battle ship had been damaged seriously in the "engagement. Saturday, Nov. 21—Fighting along the northern front in Flanders is still confined to artillery fire. There are signs of renewed activity of th° British at Arras, however, in the movement which ha* for its object the piercing of the German line of communication. The Prussian guatd has suffered so severely In its attacks on the British lines, it is reported that it has been w-ithdrawn to the rear to rest. Petrograd reports that the Germans have been forced to give ground in the vicinity of the Vistula and Warthe rivers in Poland. Their effort to pierce the Russian line north of Kutno re suited in one of their cavalry divisions getting into a cross fire of tljie Russian infantry with machine guna. More than 3,000 were left dead on the field, and the German advance guard fell back on the main body, which is spieading in defensive positions.” The Servians are reported to be holding advantageous positions arid are confidently awaiting the attack of the enemy after retreating from their positions around Valjevo. Five cannons have been abandoned on tne heights, as they could not be lowered and they were rendered useless Sunday, Nov. 22.—1 tis admitted in Berlin that the German armies in Poland have not been able to breajl through the Russian defense. The of ficial statement from Petrograd says the Germans have been driven back near Lodz and that the German ad vance has been definitely checked, least 2,000,000 men are fighting in ,Po land, the Russians probably having an advantage in numbers. Paris reports an artillery attach by the Germans was centered ori Ypres in the north and on the allied line near Soissons, where the we?t flank hinges onto the center. Elsewhere in the north and for that mat ter anywhere along the battle line there is little fighting. Tremendotfe losses suffered by both sides, the exhaustion produced by weeks of nig i and day fighting, the suffering cause by floods and frost have brought about, the “calm” situation.
