‘SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION
(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON, Nov. 20.-The Russian
general staff is withholding details of the victory which all other despatches from Petrograd say the Russians have won over the German forces which
penetrated Poland. ’1‘onlglit's official simply says the battle continues to de- velop tothe advantage oi' the Russians and that the Germans are trying to ex- tricate themselves _from n position that is very unfuvtfahle f‘or them.
The Germans on the other hand
claim they inflicted heavy losses, on thc Russians between Lodz and Low-
Iicz. Military authorities in Potrngratl, :assuiniiig that uimilicial reports oi` flic lvil tory are true, cxprt-ss astoiiislunciif that the Germans should have attack- feil l.odv. for they say defeat tliere was int~vit.uhlt-_ (lcrmuus who advanced

lt is said in Petrograd that one, if
not two, German arniy corps were al- most completely eiiveloped and that they are making a desperate effort to iight their way out to the north. Al- ready large numbers of prisoners are reported to have passed through War- saw. This is cohsldered in London to confirm thc unofficial reports and the statenieiit of Lord Kitchener in the llouse of l.ortls'to-slay* that the rein- forced troops were able to dcfcat the Gerinaiis with heavier loss than was ,before inflicted on the l\ustria'ns.
Russians are said to be continuing
'their advances- tiirough ,the Carpa- ihians, in Western Galicia and against Cracow, and Proi’essor Bernard Par- ies, thc British Governmeiit's repre- ,sentative with the Russian headquar- ters staff, says favorite forces are forming half a circle around East Prussia to avoid the well f'ortlfied and difficult lvluzurlan Luke region, they are also dt-ulared to be operating with success against thc Turks in thc (Tuu- _cnsus.
