New Forces from West

One of the results of the failure which attended German arms at the Battle of Lodz and Lowicz was the burried transport of considerable reinforcements to the eastern front.

In all the Germans brought against us a further six army corps (300,000 men) and five clivis. ions of cavalry; & portion of thes: troops came from the western front, the remainder were new units.

The detrainment of the German masses that appeared on our front began on the 25th. These reinfororments enabled the Germans continue their attack on our positions from November 97 to the sth of this month, but these attacks are loser in character and have proved absolutely fruitless. Consequently, towards the evening of the 5th, the Germans, after sustaining heavy losses, were obliged to discontinue their attacks and, on the 6th, they displayed no activity and remained at a distance from our firing-line.
