Such details of the Russian retreat in eastern Galicia as are now coming to hand do not tend to minimize the seriousness of the situation. Special dispatches report that the losses in heavy artillery will be tremendous and express doubt as to the aoility of the infantry of the Russian eighth army to make good its retreat. There is still an absence of assur ances that the Russian commanders pf the armies taking part in the backward movement have succeeded in getting their refractory troops in hand. 'Indications are not wanting, however, that the process is well un der way. There comes through l*o- trograd. for instance, the report thrt Gen.
