The Military Expert of The New
York Times reviews the war last
week cs follows:
Not for months have the battle
lints on the western front shown
such great activity as dnrlng the last
week. For several weeks there has
s been constant cannonading, but noth
ing approaching in violence the ardt-
lery Are of the week past.
This may be due in part to the fact
that substantial deliveries of Ameri
can firms who hold war contracts is
Just beginning. As was pointed out
here several weeks ago, although
contracts for an enormous amount of
shell are held in this country, some of
which were let months ago, American
manufacturers were not equipped
either with sufficient machinery or
buildings ttj produce the quantities
necessary to meet the demand sud
denly place<!lupon them.
These manufacturers have now had
enough tlmd to make the needed ex
tensions ana modifications of their
plants and machinery and It Is en
tirely probable that from now on the
flow of munitions will be material
and steady.
The artillery fire, of the Allies at
least, will therefore show ai> Increase
in Us intensity. This war has brought
about many changes In the precon
ceived ideas as to tactical movements,
the most decided of which Is in the
use of the artillery arm. It has been
a generally accepted theory of war
fare that artillery without infantry
can accomplish nothing against an
army in the field.
Artillery has been used—and all
military textbooks so prescribe Its
nse—to shell the lines of the enemy,
and when they have been thoroughly
shaken by artillery fire, and not until
then, the Infantry goes into action
and completes the work.
It seems that the allied command
ers on the weetern front are attempt-
1*( to develop a new method that la-
volvea the contlnnoss us* of artillery
without exposing the Infantry to the
~r— extent a* formerly. In but few
eases have any of the violent artil
lery attacks of the past week been
followed up by the Infantry.
This method may have resulted In
tho destruction of large sections of
the semi-permanent earthworks
which tho German* have constructed
daring the peat year, bat ha* not pro
duced nay advance worthy of noto.
In fact. It Id difficult to see how it
son. Infantry snpportad by nrtlllary
la. of coaraa. asrssaary to hold any
givaa point, and ia order to hold It
most first get It.
For the first time ia montha the
French have been active against the
salient at St. Mlbial. This town was
taken anrly in tha war. and on taking
It tha Germans established them
selves on tha west beak of the Meuse,
constructing emplacements for their
heavy guns The French reported on
Sunday the destruction by their artil
lery of several of the bridge* over the
Ms use near the town.
This has resulted apparently in the
retirement of the Germans to the east
bank of tha river. This would natur
ally be enforced through the loss of a
large part of the means of communi
cations belonging to forcee on the two
sides of the river.
From St. Mihiel the artillery Are
extended west to Pont-a-Mousson. A
glance at the map will show that the
key to this salient is the railroad
from Metz to Tblaucourt. Tbls road
la, or was when the territory was oc
cupied. the only direct road to Ger
many over which supplies could be
transported. It is therefore the main
line of communications of the Ger
man troops occupying the angle and
consequently the constant objective
of the French hammering against the
sides of the salient.'
Thiaucourt, the terminus of the
railroad, has been the point toward
which the French efforts have been
particularly directed. The main at
tack on this town has come through
the Le Pretre Forest, the northern
part of which is well within artillery
range of the town.
Unfortunately for the French, how
ever, the railroad runs down a nar
row valley with almost straight sides
.—the Valley of the Mad River—so
that Tlaucourt was practically guard
ed from the French fire. Evidently,
however, some point of vantage has
been taken, for during the week the
town has been under Are and the
transportation of supplies seriously
Interfered with. _
In the Vosges mountains, In the
Argonne, and In the Champagne and
Artois districts the artillery fire has
also been vlto#ent. Northwest of
Ebeims the French have crossed the
lAlsne and apparently have secured a
good foothold on the north bank of
that river. If this can be retained it
will be of great assistance In future
operations. It Is almost Inevitable
that at some time an operation will
be begun against the German line
Hiis line is an obtuse salient with
Its vertex ht Solssone. A drive north
from the Champagne country or a
drive east and eouth from the Artois
dietrict weald seriously tnvolvo the
Qergnen oem muni cations and force s
retreat of the troops to the west of
the line of advenes.
Not until tha British troops now on
kt have keen strongly retn-
nnd n great reeerve
•f Munition neewn slated,
he attnmnt be made The cost
spendlngly great to Justify tho
dlture Involved.
The machine of the Tenton et-
tdek oh Serbia and the mobilisation
of the Belgarlan army haa thrown the
Balkan States Into e ferment and has
brought tho situation there to a
crisis. It seems certain now that If
Bnlgaria enters the war at all It will
be on the Teuton side. This will in
crease the difficulties of the Entente
In the operations sgslpst tha Dar
danelles, bat may simplify matters In
other quarters.
Rumania, sandwiched In between
the central empires, Bnlgaria, and
Turkey, will be the stumbling l>lock.
In the event of Bulgaria’s entrince
Into the war, Rumania can hardly re
tain her status of neutrality,., and If
she moves at all it will naturally be
with the Entente. The Rumanians
are Latins, and. with Italy engaged,
there is but small possibility that they
will decide otherwise than against the
Teutons.
Rumania’s position with respect to
the present Austro-German line in the
east is one of considerable Strategic
Importance in that the flank of that
line rests on the Rumanian frontier
The Russians have shown consider
able strength In their operations
against this section of the Teuton
line—in fact the past three or four
weeks have seen a succession Of local
victories of some magnitude, result
ing In the capture of nearly a hun
dred thousand prisoners.
If the Rumanian army, already, of
course, mobilized, were added to the
Russian forces now operating along
the Sereth river, it is entirely pos
sible that the entire right flank of
the Teutons woifld be 1 farced to fall
back and the advance Into Russia
brought to an abrupt halt.
The Allies, however, are exhaust
ing every resource known to diplo
macy to revive the Balkan league, or
at least to preserve the status quo
Knowing the effect on the Darda
nelles operations of the entrance of
Bulgaria into the war on the Teuton
side, it seems much more expedient
to lose the assistance of Rumania,
and probably Greece, than to see Bul
garia lined up with their opponents.
But it seems that all efforts to pre
serve a Balkan peace are doomed to
failure. «ln answer to the mobiliza
tion of Bulgarin, the mobilization of
Greek troops has been ordered and
the Greek parliament convened. This
may be interpreted by extreme paci
fists merely ss s precautionary meas
ure, but because of the well known
volatility of the Balkan temperament
It Is almost certain that Greece knows
#ar is Imminent and Is taking steps
to protect herself from an active Bui
garlan menace.
Bulgaria's mobilization orders have
called for about 700,000 men.
Greece's orders for about half that
total. Those are practically the max
imum numbers that the two countries
ran call to the colors. Rumania. In
case she should Join Greece and the
Quadruple Entente, can call about
6SO.OOO. At the first sign of actual
hostilities between Greece and Bul
garia. Rumania Is almost sure to
move. ‘ Thus another million and
half men will be thrown into the
maelstrom.
On the eesUrn front the week
opened with the first Important Ger
man success since the Kuaeians aban
doned the Wnronw salient, namely,
tha occupation of Vllna. For week!
tbu Ruotlans had held practically to
their llaaa on almost equal terms
with voa Hladenburg The preesuru
finally became too greet end the evac
uation of tha Lithuanian capital fol
lowed.
At the tame time the Germane be
gan n wide flanking movement, ualng
large forces of cavalry, sweeping
north of Vllna across the Vllna-
Dvlnsk railroad.- then southeast to
fiventsiany and Vlleikn. Very henry
Russian forces occupying the triangle
formed by the towns of Led a. Vllna.
and Vlleikn were thus more than
three-quarters surrounded, and It was
evident that their retirement could be
effected. If st nil. only with greet dif
ficulty and probably with enormous
losses
Until the railway from Vllna to
Dvlnsk was cut the retreat of the
Vllna forces did not present such a
problem But the crossing of this
road by the German cavalry near
Sventzlany immediately changed the
face of the situation and threw these
^troops into a position of great dan-
Tfev.'
The road from Vilna to Minsk, one
of the only two lines of retreat left,
.was also cut bV the German cavalry
moving south from VUeika at <Molo-
dfechno. This left open only a single-
track railroad running from Lida to
Baranovltchl. Two days later this
railroad was also cut by an Hinden-
burg. who took Lida and advanced a
short distance to the east of that
city.
It seemed then that the escape of
this large section of the Czar's army
was thoroughly prevented. There
was a small outlet, it is true, but the
railroads were all, in German hands
and modern armies are very depend
ent on railroads for transportation.
The result was what was undoubt
edly one of the most desperate battles
of the war. The Russians fought for
life and safety, the Germans to force
the Russians into a decisive fight,
After months of pursuit, of driving
the Russians into ,one apparently
deadly trap after another, only to see
them escape through some unlooked-
for and impossible avenue of retreat,
a decision seemed nearer than at any
time since last April. The oppor
tunity was too good to be lost. Ger
many could not rest.
But again the trap was broken and
the Russian escape made good with
almost Inconsiderable loss. By the
fiercest kind of fighting the Russian^
recaptured the town of Molodechnq
on the Vilna-Mlnsk railroad, driving
the Germans northward toward Vilsl-
ka. This made available for the Rus
sian retreat the railway line to Minsk
and the country between Molodechno
and Lida.
The Russian troops occuylng the
dangerous triangle then commenced
to fall back eastward Instead of
southward aa had baas anticipated,
fighting heavy rearguard actions. Evi
dently. serious ns their situation Wan.
It was not as bad aa Germaa official
had indicated
cavalry which
to Sveotsieny and thence to
Yllelka yaa not _
ace to the retreat, they war* quickly
thrust aside by the Rosa tans, and the
way to retreat opened. In these ac
tions the Russian cavalry played an
important pert.
Berlin can not bat be grievously
disappointed over the ontcome. It
Was expected and eagerly predicted
by the German press when the news
of the fall of Vilna was published
that tt was Inevitable that large num
bers of prisoners would be taken. On
this point the German official reports
are almost completely silent. The
total number of Rnssians reported
captured during the week ia but two
thousand and most of these were
taken in operations against Dvlnsk.
These operations were begun when
it became apparent to von Hlnden-
burg that the Russians had made
good their escape from his Vllna
trap. His army, which had endeavor
ed tp wrap itself completely around
Vilna and encircle the Russian troops
retreating from that city, was forced,
partly by the successful Russian re
treat and partly by heavy Russian
counterattack* at carefully selected
points, to straighten Itself out west
of the railroad from Vilna to Dvlnsk.
AlmdsL Immediately a movement
was begun against Dvlnsk, which at
first seemed to promise success. The
Russians, however, heartened by
their success in outwitting the Ger
mans in the Vilna fighting, took the
offensive and succeeded in neutraliz
ing the previous German success.
The sum total of the week In the
north,'therefore, is the capture of
Vilna, a city without guns, without
men. The gain seems to be entirely
incommensurate with the price paid
for it.
There can be no question that the
German losses were frightfully large.
A golden opportunity seemed to be
presented to them to bring matters in
the eastern theatre near to a conclu
sion. The Russian Vllna army seem
ed hopelessly trapped and it* forced
surrender more than a possibility.
With such an object in sight It was
to be expected that every possible ef
fort would be exerted regardless of
cost to accomplish it.
The character of the fighting noted
by both sides in their reports Indi
cates how fierce and Incessant it was.
What the loss was is not known and
probably never will be. but It cer
tainly was more than Germany could
afford In return for the emptied city
of Vllna.
South of this section of the battle
line, between Lida and Plnak, no fur
ther German advances have been
made. There haa been considerable
fighting, but It haa been altogether
fruitlea. In fact, auch advantage as
has been gained seem* to rest with
the Rusaiant. who have shown un
looked-for if not unaccountable
strength everywhere.
For an army that has suffered the
many and aerlaus reverses that have
been Inflicted by the Teutons, that
has retreated almost without pause
from Western Galicia to Eastern Po
land, the Ruaeian army certainly
shows % truly remarkable ability not
only to hold but to otrlka back.
This has been shown particularly
In tha sector between Plash and tha
Rumanian frontier—that Is. against
tha Teuton right wing. North of the
Prlpet marshes. In the neighborhood
of Flash. Mackensen. who Is In com
mand of the German right centre, re
ports that he has been compelled to
withdraw his line somewhat to avoid
the same sort of a trap which nearly
caught tha Rusaians In tha Vllna sec
tor.
Ha had pushed forward a little
east of Ptnsk. and ns his line to the
north and south of Plnak was unable
to advance with him, the result was
the creation in hit line nt Plnak of n
sharp salient. Succeesful Russlnn at
tacks against tha southern aide of
this salient threatened to cut off the
troops nt this moat advanced point,
forcing n retirement.
Still farther south, in Volhynin end
Galicia. Russian successes have been
■till more marked, so marked. In fact,
f-at they can be accounted for only
on the theory that the Germans have
weakened their southern front in or
der to reinforce von Hindenburg in
the north, whose operations are con
sidered much more important. Among
the most important of the Russian
successes Is the recapture of life fort
ress of Lutsk, which practically clears
the Volhynian triangle made up of
the fortress of Lutsk, Dubno, and
Rovno, of German troops.
In spite of the loss of Vilna the
general situation on the eastern
front is more hopeful from the stand
point of the Allies than at any time
since the fall of Warsaw. Along the
entire line von Hindenburg alone has
been able to advance, and his pro
gress toward Dvinsk is very slow.
The Russian losses have naturally
been great, but the Germans, too,
have been terribly punished. The
difference is that Russia’s man power
is so enormous that she can absorb
her losses while Germany can not.
Russia’s successes in the south just
at this time take on an additional
importance because of the situation
in the Balkans. No one of the Bal
kan States can. without sacrificing its
independence, if not its national ex
istence, go into the war on the losing
side. With Russia temporarily, at
least, in practical control of the sit-
-uation in Galicia, and with the cer-

. Seven persons were reported by po
lice to have been killed and more
than fifty others seriously injured in
New York Wednesday when h dyna
mite explosion in the excavation of
the new Seventh Avenue Subway
caused a cave-in which engulfed a
surface car and numerous pedes
trians. The accident occurred short
ly before eight o’clock and more than
half of the injured were women and
girls on their way to business.
There were sexenty-elght passen
gers on the trolley car which dropped
fifteen feet into the subway excava
tion when the entire block on Sev
enth Avenue between Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-fifth streets' collapsed.
Although the car remained upright,
it was partly buried under an ava
lanche of concrete, rails, timbers and
earth, and many of the passengers
were severely crushed.
Persons who were In a large office
building nearby said there was a
great roar as the pavement and por
tions of the sidewalks sank. This
was followed a moment later by the
cries of the partly entombed passen
gers and of pedestrians who were
either thrown into the excavation
or knocked down. Men and women
smashed the car windows with their
bare hands In an effort to escape, eye
witnesses said, while pedestrians who
had been thrown Into the hole strug
gled to avoid the falling debris and
regain the street level.
Police reserves were called out,
two fire alarms were turned in and
fifteen ambulances with thirty sur
geons were rushed to the scene. The
hospital corps of a large cloak and
suit house nearby turned out.
The cave-in broke water and gas
mains and within a few minute
heavy flows of gas and water threat
ened the lives of the one hundred or
more persons in the excavation.
Prompt work by city employees In
■hutting off the flow in the broken
mains put an end to this danger.

Opposition to the proposed «
loan to the Allies has cryatallzed to
such an extent that negotiations may
have to be reopened along different
lines.
That the difficulties confron
the Anglo-French credit commiss
are have heightened within tho past
twenty-four hours and that a dead
lock is threatened was evident.
The three chief obstacles were the
following:
1. The unfavorable financial post
tion of the British government as
revealed in the budget speech of
Reginald McKenna, British Char
lor of the Exchequer. ^
2. Opposition to Russia's partici
pation in the proposed loan.
3. Attitude of western interests
that have been antagonized by the
seizure of fifteen million dollars
worth of meat cargoes owned by
American packers by England.
Greece Seeks Transports.
