m kussuns coktwce to FIESS TEUTONS HID IN EAST a r AUSTRIANS IN DANGER New York Tlmee Expert Point* Out Th*t While Ww Will be Deckled tn the Weet, SUtI* Atteck* M»y Ceuae Wcnkenlnu of Gennun r ft Force* A Tillable Tliere. Saturday morning a week ago found the Russians, both In their centre In front of Kovel and In their left between the Dniester and the Pruth, held up; by the floods, and unable to cross either the Stokhod or the Dniester. Unusually heavy rain* bad caused both streams to overflow their banks and to turn the country, which is generally low-lying, into an impassable bog. At this time the Russian plan* seemed to go awry. Although they had been lighting for the Stokhod crossings for weeks they had been unable to gain even a temporary foothold on the western bank. Along the Dniester, while the attacks had jpot been so persistent nor so severe, the lines of both contestants had not undergone any material change for many days. The general Russian plan, as manifested from the location of the most forceful attacks, apparently in volved both Kovel and Lemberg. An Important incident of the attack to ward Lemberg was the forcing of the Austrians from their positions along the Strlpa River. In the early days of the Russian offensive the Russians had attempt ed to force this fine by heavy attacks In the vicinity of Bczacz. Their fail ure, In spite of great efforts, led them to abandon, at least for the time being, frontal attacks on this position and concentrate their efforts north and south of the Strlpa line. Thus by bending back the flanks the entire centre position between would either be made untenable, or, it held, would expose the defense to heavy losses through capture, if the flanks gave way. This latter method had succeeded as far as bending back the flanks was concerned be fore the wesk now under review opened. The right flauk had pushed for> ward nntlll t was not only well to th* Vest of the Strips line, but also west of the Zlota Llpa, to which river th* Austrians must retire when they are forced to evacuate th* Strlpa front. The left flank had been even more successful and had reached a point some miles further west than that reached by the right. - HUH. however, the to their podtioeks even with this ace before them, relying on the de fensive strength of the Dniester to hold the Russians beck and prevent them from cutting in behind and severing the lines of communica tions. Thu, then, was generally the situation when last week’s review waa written. < On Saturdsy, the Russians finally succeeded in forcing thn crooning of the Stokhod River. Before tnking up the deteila of this engegement. It is well to point out certnln Inferences which mny reasonably be drawn from the gepernl situation. Kovnl, which linn directly behind the Stokhod, is referred to generally ns n key to the German positions north and south of that point, it Kovel fmlla lnU> Hum tan beads. It is claimed, the entire tierman line is threatened. As far as we are able to sea. this is not an exaggeration of the situation, nor of the value of this town. As In so many similar cases, th* reasons can be found In the rail road which Kovel controls. It must be realized In the first place that. In order for Russian rail- roatU to be of practical use to the Teutons, there must be an adequate north* and south system in their hands, connecting with the east and weet Unas. It would do no good, for example, if the roads entering thU part of Russia from the west could only keep the field bases supplied, and had no lateral or distributing lines by which the firing line could be fed from these bases Therefore, in analyzing the Wail- road situation In any country', one rnnKt regard both the roads which parallel the battle front and those which come up to it perpendicularly. The main bases which the Germans have established between the Prlpet and the Carpathian Mountains are, beginning in tj^ north, Brest-Llt- ovsk, Chelm, Kovel, and Lemberg. Railroads come into them all from the west. The centre point of this section, however, is Kovel, and from it roads radiate to Breat-Lltovsk, to Chelm, and, by way of Vladlmlr- Volyntkl, to Lemberg. All of these latter roads are in the hands of the Teutonic allies and all parallel their front. Ibey are of the greatest importance and must be held If the maintenance of their lines In the present position is to be pre served. Insofar aS’lt relates to the present situation, Kovel is, there fore, a point, of vital importance. As to the defenses of Kovel, they are mainly natural; that is, they consist not so much in such defensive works jgs the Germans may have con structed during the period of their occupation, as in the natural defenses due to the terrain. The sector which Interests us most at this moment Is that between the Kovel-Sarny and the Kovel-Rovno railroads. It Is on this sector that the heaviest Russian attacks have fallen. The mala barrier is, of coarse, the Stokhod River. Its strength during the last weeks has beea threefold. First, the river itself; the mere fact that it Is a river which th* Russians have to cross under fire gives It a certain defensive value. Second, this value has been greatly sugmeatsd by tbs heavy rains to which I have referred. This has of the river finally,^thare la HTf aeturp of the terrain on the‘#teUb*nk beyond the marsh belts. This Is ell high ground with pronounced hills offering excel lent points of observation and good artlllepr Position* It la almuat !■- possible for the Russian* to start any movement In which large bodies of men are Involved without coming directly under the obeervatlous of the Germane. These hills are particularly notice able along the southern side of the bend which the Stokhod makes In this sector. Here there is a continu ous range from Ugll southwest all the way to Svldnkl, where the Stok hod crosses the railroad. There are fewer or perhaps smaller marshes on this front lhan on that further north, and it Is against this front that the former Russian attacks were made. The crossing of the Stokhod took place first at Gulevich!. The reports of this entire week’s fighting. It might be noted, have not been par ticularly clear nor have they afford ed a great wealth of detail. Names of villages have been mentioned with great infreqnency, so just where the battle lines are at this moment no /Sne can tell positively. Consequent ly, all statements In regard to par ticular towns must -be accepted as close approximations, made^as a re-, suit of a study of the official reports of Petrograd, Vienna and Berlin. Apparently, what happened is that, as I have stated, the crossing was first effected at'Gulevlchl. This village Is, of course, on the Stokhod near the mouth of the Stavok River, a small stream which rises in the bights west of Mlelnlca. The forces which crossed at Gulevich! then struck south, striking the Germans, who were defending the river, on the flanks, while th* Russians on the opposite bank occupied their atten tion In front. The result was the giving way, little by little, of the German line along the entire angle of the river. No mention as to Just what hap pened is made In the reports from Petrograd. The Berlin report, how ever, states that a withdrawal was effected from the “Stokhod curve which projects toward the east and north of the Kovel-Rovno railroad." This means that the entire angle Is now In JRusslan hands, and that the Russians are In a position to out flank the Teuton line. Just as they bad already done after the crossing at Gulevich! waa affected. Coming down from Gulevich!, the Russians seem to have followed the eastern hank of the Savok River. This river, though email, has the characteristic fringe of marsh along Us banks which, while very narrow compared to that of the Stokhod, is ■till an obstacle to an advance. It is crossed by bridges and roads at fiitovleb aad at Rudka-MIrlnakaia. At this latter place the Russians at tempted to gain the crossing. Thee succeeded la taking the town, which is the point of Intersection of several highways, bet were dislodged by the Germans aad forced to retire again eastward. Not content with the crossing In Volhynla. about fifty miles northeast of Kovel In the Pollens* district, the Russians have also crossed la the vicinity of Lubteesow. Not only have they crossed here, but they here seised the heights on ths wsstern bank and fortified them Where isolated points such as this have beea taken, the advantage in still with the Germans oa nrconnt of the ease with which they caa concen trate troops la a counter attack and the difficulty the Russians have In sending rein force inenta, as they ere fighting on both banka of the stream at the seme time. Nevertheless, the fact that the Russians were able to effect a crossing in force argues strongly for their superior power in this section I have pointed out the importance to the Teutons of the retention of Kovel, and the great defensive strength of the last formidable bar Her between the town and the Rus elan linee. Berlin claims to have given up this harrier for strategical .reasons—to straighten out their lines. This, of course, is. under the circumstances, a subterfuge for local consumption. The Germans suffered a severe loss and an unquestionable defeat .when they were forced to admit the Russians to the west bank, and also to permit them to advance from one to ten miles beyond the river. The question which naturally arises is. If the Germans were not able to hold the Russians back when this defen sive barrier has been eliminated from consideration? It is becoming more and more evi dent that the Germans in the east are feeling the pressure of the movements of the Allies in the west, just as surely as are those who are directly suffering through the French and British fire. There can be no question of the strength of the Stok hod position, or of the importance from a German standpoint of Kovel. Every effort of which the Germans are capable they most certainly have put into the Stokhod fighting. But It has proved insufficient. The Germans are faced with a task which they do not seem able to perform. The great pressure on every front la beginning to tell. The eastern front is unquestion ably weaker per mile of line held than the western. This may ac count for the fact that the line in the west holds fairly well, while that In the east not at all. But it does not do Germany any good to hold In the west if she is beaten In the east. ,It may be, and probably Is, true that the war must be decided on the western front. At the same time Russia can so weaken the Teutons on the east ah to make victory on the weet Inevitable. The colossal weight of the Russian millions Is making Itself felt as it has not don* since the early days of the war. The Austrians are not th* only ones who are new being defeated. It wee generally considered that no matter how siccessfnl the Rneelens might he against th* Asatrians, Ger- front are being . This Is true net slone on account of the Russian •uccemes along the Stokhod bnt elen#ithe-Dniester as well:- It is rather a tragic fact that, no matter how successful the Germans might possibly be In reputing the Russian attacks, their entire defense can be shattered through the Aus trian failure in the south. Here the Russian movement Is in two differ ent sectors, one the region of Brody, the other that of Stanlslau. Last week’s review ended with the cap ture of Brody. / This In itself was an Important action, as it deprived the Austrians of tho most important base they had in the northeastern section of Gali cia. Continued success along this line, that is, the line of the Lemberg- Uubno railroad, has, however, In ad dition to this a twofold effect. First, it weakens the German hold on Kovel, and, secondly, by threatening the severance of the Austrian armies from those of the Germans It Jeopar dizes the entire Stripa line. The lat ter pressure will beF*felt sooner. Apparently the past week has not produced any marked change in the relative positions west of Brody. The main consideration is the Lemberg- Brody railroad and the town of Krasne, where the road from Tarno- pol cuts In. The Austrians are evi dently behind the upper Htyr, and so far have they checked the Russian advance. The Austrians are, never theless, in grave difficulties here, and the chances are strongly in favor of their losing many thousands of prisoners before they can extricate themselves. In the Stanlslau sector the Russian atacks have been more successful. They have been pushing steadily up the Kolomea-Stanislau railroad and gradually folding back the Austrians on this front against those on the Stripa and Koroplec fronts. The Dniester, flowing through a low, fiat valley, is completely out of its banks and in flood, so that military opera tions in its vicinity are difficult. By the time the Russians driving from the south have reached the river, this condition may be changed Whether It is or not, the dsnger to this outflanking operation is ever present, and If the Austrian line guarding the Hver should break, the results must necessarily be disas trous. The Russians here have good rail roads behind them.gnd good, field bases which they have established since their conquest of Bukowlns. Kolomea Is but a few miles In their rear, end from It their entire line between the Pruth end the Dniester can be adequately supplied. Hera, again, we are without definite details of the fighting. It would not be surprising, how ever, to reed any day the report of the Russian capture of Stanlslau Altogether, the Russian drive dost not seem to have lost any of Its force. The Austrians end Germans have reeled back from It. to posi tions possessed of greet natural ad vantages. Some of these have been taken, others have been penetrated on s wide front. The Knaalan effort will be com pletely sncceaafnl If it succeeds In sepanuing the two forces and flank ing the Austrtaas ont of Eastern Ga licia. This will sanaa the loss of a greet Austrian force, aad men with Austria are growing scarce. There Is no doubt that, relatively speaking. Austria has permanently lost more effectives than any other nation at war. What this loss has been no one knows; It Is difficult to see. however, how It ran be less than 3,000,000 men. If Russia would pub lish the total number of Austrian prisoners she has taken we might have a basis for e more or less exact approximation. But when to the recent Russian successes are added the results of the success in the earlier days of the war by which Russia conquered all of Galicia from Body to Cracow, it Is easily conceivable how the AustHan losses have been at least those men tioned. On the western front matters have entered a rather peculiar phase. While the fighting on the Homme front hae not died down completely. Interest In it has wan ed to some extent and Verdun has taken Its place. These phases of Inactivity in any great offensive movement are to be expected. As I have pointed out, they mark the lapse of time neces sary to make a new accumulation of shell and prepare for a new drive. After the shell accumulation has taken place, the artillery bombard ment follows, which usually lasts from two to three days before the Infantry attack is launched. This is time-consuming and pro duces spells of inaction. The mere fact that fighting has died down, however, does not signify that the offense has been either given up or suspended. On the contrary, it would not be surprising if in this coming xveek we should see* the strongest and most determined effort that has yet been made to break through the German lines and clean odt the Albert salient. As was pointed out last week this must be the first phase of the Allied offensive. If It does not accomplish this there will be no second phase. The attack at Verdun must be a very serious disappointment to the Ger mans, who for months have felt and expressed the belief that they were bleeding the French to death In the valley of the Meuse. After all the fighting that has been dons in the Verdun sector since Feb ruary 21 the Germans now ths very minute they att weaken this front, ths French back as If they had never fought there before. The French are evi dently far from being exhausted, for, In ths few days that have elapsed since the first of August, they hare retaken from the Germans praotl- cally all of ths important gains of two months. i of Vardan, m"i Attack Around Beaune Fails to , Cmmmo W Ithdrawal of Crown Prtme^B Army or His Q ANSWERS QUEIY AS TO VBY BE IS IN OOVERNOI’S RACE reports: In'the region of the Menses^erdun), especially on the east bank, great artillery activ ity developed.

We have repulsed a counter attack In the same region. In the region of F Fleury and in the sectors of Chapitre and Chenois artillery fighting continues without any infantry action. Lincoln Eyre cables the New York World from Paris: “The fierceness and obstinacy with which the Crown Prince has counter attacked during the past eighteen hours along the Thiaumont-Fleury line indicates absolutely the unex pectedness of the development of the French offensive north of Verdun. "The tremendous German bom bardment opened against the lost positions proves conclusively • that the combined Anglo-French efforts on the Somme have been unable to divert many batteries of heavy Krupp guns from the objective points striven for by the Kaiser5s son in the last five months. “While the Homme offensive was largely undertaken to relieve the pressure at Verdun, many high French stuff officials held the belief that the Germans had not scattered the men and guns massed at Verdun. Their belief was strengthened by the daily reports of French observation aviators, who didn’t witness, any large withdrawals from the Crown Prince** sector. “Leading military writers recently concurred In the opinion that the Crown Prince is not yet randy to give up his ambition of captaring Ver dun.

In northern Galicia the Russians have struck another hard .blow at the Teutonic allies and occupied along tbs Sereth and Oraberka riv ers, south of Brody, six villages and the entire ridge on which they are located.

The Austro-Oermana. at last reports, were bombarding violently their lost positions. In the fighting the Russians cap tured a regimental commander and one hundred and forty other officers and more than fifty-five hundred men and also took numerous ma chine guns and bomb throwers.

I am surprised that b* should have asked me this question. Two years ago I stated on every stump tn South Oaroilua. and have repeated •gain this year, that If elected gov ernor I will enforce the law in every •ertlon of South Carolina, from the mountains to the sea. “If a Jury, after a fair and impar tlal trial, finds that one of your cit izens has violated the law. I will never disturb that finding unless I am convinced that the verdict Is wrong The pardoning power waa not given to the governor to enable him to reward hla friend* or punlah hla enemies, but for the purpose of correcting mistakes or preventing an Injustice. “The governor asks also If I favor the board of charities and correc tions. I can see no special objection to the board of charities and correc tions. but I do not see the necessity of having so many boards as we now have. We have the State board of charities and corrections, the board of regents of the State Hospital for the Insane, board of visitors and directors of the State penitentiary. I have stated on former occasions that I think one board should be clothed with the management of our penal and charitable institutions. The board of charities and corrections, for Instance, could do all of this work, and we would thereby not only save money to the taxpayers, but avoid a confHct of authority be tween the different boards. “I am next asked by the governor lf~l would have ordered out the militia at Anderson at the time of the Brogon mills strike. How can I answer this question? I was not the governor and have not the Informa tion which the governor Is supposed to have had, and do not know what condition of affairs was presented to him. will state, however, that if I am elected governor I will maintain the supremacy of the law at all haz ards and under all ciruastances. “The governor asks again, If I would have actgd as he has with reference to the asylum. If I were the governor of South Carolina I would do everything in my power to alleviate the sufferings and improve the conditions qf those unfortunate people upon whom the hand of af fliction has been laid, and who are necessarily confined in the State Hos pital for the Insane. “From what I know of Dr. Wil liams, he Is an excellent gentleman and a splendid physician, and 1 have no doubt Is doing a good work for the State. But If I Had been the governor and had believed that Dr. Williams was the only man in the State who could properly discharge the duties of this position, I would have said to him, “The State of South Carolina needs your services.’ “I would not have supplemented his salary had I been 10 times a millionaire, for the reason that the law of the State does not permit any officer or any person holding a posi tion In any of the public institutions to accept or receive from any source man operation, Is definitely oonclod- whatsoever any compensation other ed.

If the governor had examined the records of the legisla ture during the past 16 years, he would have found that, when a mem ber of the lower house of the general assembly, I supported the proposi tion looking to the creation of a com mission to equalize the assessment of property for taxation. I do not remember the details of that bill, but I believe tn an equal and fair assess ment of all property. “I believe we ought in some way to ascertain the proportionate taxes which each county should pay to support the State government, nut If the governor expects three men to equalize the individual'assessments of property In South Carolina, we cannot hope for any substantial re sults wilhln the next 50 years. My pj%n is to equalize the assessmento between the counties, so that each couqly will be required to bear Its pro rata part of the burden of th* government. “Now, my friends, I am man enough, and liberal enough, to stand here in your presence, and in the presence of the governor of South Carolina, and commend him for every good thing which he has done.
