Northwest Corner Square.
Posen, Army Headquarters of the
East, via Berlin and London, Dec. 21.
— (Delayed in Transmission.)—Field
Marshal Von Hindenburg’s army took
Lowicz, Russian Poland, defeating the
Russian right wing after heavy fight-
ing for several days. The capture of
the city compelled the further retire-
ment of the Russian lines, which have
lost thirty-four kilometers (twenty-
one miles) since the evacuation of
Lodz. The lines are now scarcely so
kflometers from Warsaw.
The German pursuit is proceeding
successfully along the whole front,
but the Russians are offering a firm
resistance in positions which were
previously fortified in preparation for
defeat.
The resistance of the Russians has
by no means been fully broken, but
their losses in the most recently bat-
tles have been enormous.
Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, in
whose headquarters th# Associated
Press correspondent arrived for the
purpose of observing further opera-
tions, says that the Russian losses
since Nov. 13, including about 100,000
prisoners, have been enormous. Even
the killed and wounded at Tanna^j-
berg, Bast Prussia, says General Von
Hindenburg, can not be compared
with the losses of the Russians in the
present battle.
-Great masses of Russians were cap-
tured at Tannanburg, but by no means
were so many killed and wounded as
In tho present battles, according to
tho general’s estimates of th# opera-
tions.
Field Marshal Von Hindenburg and
General Von Ludenorf, bis chief of
staff, do not share the optimistic
views expressed in certain Berlin
newspapers which regard the Rus-
sians now as finally disposed of.
The opinion expressed here is ttiat
the Russians probably will be unable
to resume offensive operations, but
later was compelled to retreat, but r.o '
breach has been made iu it yet as tic
Russian commander recognized' th
situation at the right moment.
General Von !lindenberg. in his con-
versation with the ear respondent
spoke much about America, whence
he has received letters now and th. •>
from old acquaintances or from com-
rades o| 1>.7(>. He has also receive,i
letters from unknown writers in the
United States, some congratulatin'.-
him and others offering advice. Th
general said that he was envious to
visit tho United States, especially tic
West, of which he had heard much.
