L
GENEVA, Switzerland, Dec. 7.
Germany is slowly bul steadily pre
paring to make her threatened aerial
attack ou London und on the eastern
coast of England, even without the
aid of the German, navy, in the judg
ment of observers of the continued
activity at the Zcppeliu works at
Fricdrichshafen.
At this factory on Lake Constance
more than 1000 woikmen since the
beginning of the war have been em
ployed in the construction of dirig
ible balloons, instead of a normal
working force of 400 men. In place
of the usual working period of eight
hours ii day, the men, all experts,
have been divided into day and night
bhifts of twelve hours each, so that
more than fiOO arc always engaged.
All the finished materials and fit
tings, as well as sections of the air
ship envelopes, arrive from other
parts of Gennuny ready made, and
tho workmen nt Friederichshafen
have pnly to pul them together. This
makes it possible to build u Zeppelin

Berlin Claims Victory Pelrorad
Admits "Situation Desperate" Af
ter Lemhcrrj Fall Austria Soupjit
Peace Early Hungary Weakest
Point of Attack.
LONDON, Dec. 7, 11:5.1 a. m. A
comparison of tho reports from Berlin
and'l'ctrogrnd leads to tho conclusion
that tho Germans again occupy Lodz,
from which city thoy wcro driven on
their first retreat from Warsaw". Ber
lin makes positive announcement that
Lodz Is In their handu, whllo retro
grad admits tliat the situation there is
desperate.
If tho fall of tho city Is a fact, It
Indicates that communication front
Warsaw again Is seriously menaced,
but a semi-official statement from
Petrograd declares that tho Uusilahs
arc strong enough to hold tho Invad
ers In Northern Poland nnd "vllt con
tent themselves with doing this, whllo
devoting their main energies to tho
reduction of Cracow and tho Inva
sion of Hungary.
Hungary, according to reports from
the Russian capital Is tho weak point
in tho armor of tho Teuton allies.
These messages from Petrograd soy
that even as early as at tho time of
tho fall of Lcmbcrg, Austria asked
Russia for terms of peace. Tho nego
tlans to this end, If any really took
place, apparently proved abortive.
Tho story Is again revived in Petro
grad In tho form of a roport that tho
Hungarian prima minister, on a re
cent visit to Kmpcror William, de
manded better military protection for
Hungary, lack of which would cause
the loss of the kingdom.
Tho latest French official com
munication declares there Is nothing
to report on t3 western front and
with tho exception of a special dis
patch to tho effect that Ostend Is
burning, nothing has been received
in London to disputo tho accuracy of
this laconic statoment.
Tho latest reports from Montene
gro and Servla Indicate that theso
llalkan allies, at bay In their moun
tain strongholds, nro holding tho Aus
trian invaders In check,
n tho water somo minor activity
has been notod resulting in tho re
ported destruction of Turkish auxil
iaries in tho Black Sea by Russian
submarines; destruction by mines of
two Swedish merchant ships off tho
Finnish coast, and tho crippling by a
ralno of tho famous Turkish cruiser
Hamldleh, which Is snld to have re
gained Constnntinoplo with consid
erable difficulty.
Diplomatically interest Is centered
ou Rome, whero the statement of
former Premier Otullttlo that Austria
planned war against Servla In 1913
has caused something of n sensation.
Tho Balkan States aro said to be
nearlng a rapprochomentfcwhlch will
enable them to malio common causo
against tho Germanic allies.
