LONDON. Dec. 3.--For tho first tlitm since the Cennuni woro checked In their advaucu on Warsaw, It was possible today to gain a fairly clear Idea of tho military situation In ltus- slnn Poland In Its broader aspect.

Furthermore, It Is said, that thu UormuiiH aru again under taking an energetlr offensive, lUiiiieiiknliiiff the Hunt The domplutcness of change In thu situation, ascribed variously to the failure of tho Russian general, Hen uenknmpff, to closu up thu ring about thu Hermans and to tho brilliant strategy of thu dermaii leaders, is In dicated by a report telegraphed from I'utrograd by an English correspond ent, who previously had announced that thu Russians had won an oyer whelming victory. Ho now BUtes that tho Hermans aru holding their portions and that tho situation "re mains extremely hazardous." The latest official announcement from I'e trograd states that the fighting has becojngjess howecr. A Herman critic estimates that the Itusslan losses In killed, wounded, prisoners mid death from sickness amounts to fully 1,100,000, or one third ot thu nation's best troops. (Jul I li Confuse!

This means that from nine months to a year will bo gained In securing the factory and establishing a payroll in the valley Outside capitalists, whose names are withheld by Mr. Sullivan, doslra to build a beet factory in this valley provided acreago can be secured, and Irrigation guaranteed, as Icrtalnty of water, without dependence on nature, Is the key arch ot the business. Tlmy wilt bo in this city next Monday and Tuesday, and a mass meeting ot tho Ian owners and farmers of the valley will bo catted for Tuesday to con sider tho matter. Tho company de sires an acreage of S000 acres, ac cepting less than this for tho first year, though desiring an assurance ot 5000 ucrcs or more after tho first year.

Rogue, lands company for beet sugar aero ago Is as follews: "It is expressly understood by and between tho parties to the contract hereto attached, tho company on tho ono part and tho purchaser on tho other, that In caso, within months from tho date hereof, an lr gation district shall bo formed under tho laws of tho state ot Oregon, In tho Roguo river valley, comprising within its boundaries tho land de scribed In the contract hereto at tached and said district shall vote to issuo Its bonds for tho construction of an irrigation s)'Btom to cover said lands, this contract shall thereupon becomo null and void.
