FAVORABLE DEVELOPMENTS. United Press Association. Petrograd, November 24. Official.—The battle of Lodz was continued. Russian cavalry at one point attacked the retreating Germans, inflicting great loss and capturing heavy guns. The battle on the CzenotochqwaCracow line is developing successfully for the Russians. We took six thousand prisoners on Sunday and repulsed counter-attacks. AUSTRIAN® WEAKENINC. Rome, November 24. The press states that the attack of the Austrian army in Galicia hasijveakened, the troops being depressed and discouraged, and unable to resist the Russians without the assistance of Germany. German papers strenuously repudiate the idea that Germany is touting for peace, maintaining that the political and military situations are wholly in favor of the Germans. HARD LINES FOR WOUNDED. Venice, November 24. Many wounded from Galicia are arriving at Trente. They tell fearful stories of losses by sickness. A German doctor, who superseded an;Austrian doctor, sends the invalids back to the front before they are half cured. The new Landstrum recruits are compelled to provide their own outfit, and are given only scanty rations. They largely exist on raw turnips or beetroot. A CLEVER TRAP. Petrograd, November 25. Russians trapped three regiments on the bank of the Bzoura river, which is easily fordable. The Germans crossed, and found themselves cut off by Cossacks who had crqssed higher up the stream. Meanwhile the Russian infantry crept up in the rear cover of the artillery, the Germans being surrounded, and only half a regiment escaped.
