LONDON, Dec. 11-.?The - reported
rout of tbe Austrian forces in Servla.
the border ot which country they
crossed triumphantly, t-yo-weeks ago,
together with the steady advance of
the German center in .the direction
of Warsaw,, in. this ? the _ third. Ger
man invasion of Russian Poland, domi
nates the war news today.
After occupying'Lodz, the Germans
have pushed'to the northeast toward
Warsaw, along the railroad, and ik
dispatch from Fetrograd estimates
that they-are.. only. 15. mtte&from. the
Polish capital, while another'messago
from Petrograd speculating,'0|i the
possible fall of Warsaw, warns the
Russian people that the abandonment
of this city, if such a motive became
necessary, should be regarded as a
strategic operation on the" part' of
the Russians - rather than a decided
German victory. It wiil.be recalled
that a similar view was expressed
when the Russians returnod from
Lodz. .
. Although conceding in effect the
progress of the German center, tho
Russians, Judging . from dispatches
from London contend, that thotlcle.is
turning^ in. their, favor . in . the. san
gulnary fighting south of Cracow,
where the combined Austro-German
forces are endeavoring to move north
ward. They declare moreover that
they are holding In check the Ger
man forces pushing them toward War
saw from East Prussia.
It would appear today that the Serv
ian's retirement before the Austrlans
some weeks ago was in reality &
movement for strategic purposes.
There sharp return blow, if the Nish
reports are to be accepted, has been
extraordinarily effective. ? .
' , After sustaining enormous losses
the Austrlans are" being rapidly drlv
en to. the" northwest in the direction of
their own border.
. InHlie western arena of the conflict
the allies are applying pressure
against the whole German line. In
France and Belgium, and while they
appear to be making slight advances
they have fiot.as. yet taken advantage
of the transfer,of Gorman forces.to
the east, who essay a general ad
