I OFFENSIVE ! RUSSIAN LINE HOLDS GOOD It Is Necessary for Bower Gulician Lin? of Germans to be Extended Before Ileal Drive on Warsaw Can Begin?Activity on French Soil? Italians Meet Hesistance. The war expert of tlie New York Times reviews the waY last week: In tbe East the week opened with the Russians giving ground stubbornly but steadily before the Teutonic armies, not only in Galicia. but also in Southern Poland. The more important military features or the situation were distinctly favorable to the Teutonic allies, and they were making the most of this advantage. By the capture of Bemberg they had seized, the point on which all the railroads in Eastern Galicia converge V From this town excellent lines run ' northwest and southwest, giving ' V them a ready means of quickly rein- 1 forcing all ]>iirts of this line which ' was operating against the lines of 1 the Russians along the Dniester, the ' UP Bug, and the Qnila Lipa, H In addition, their offensive, which ? had succeeded largely through great superiority in heavy guns and aiumuJ nltlon, still retained tlint superiority, and with the control of the railroad 1 B situation through possession of Lem berg they we're in the best possible W condition to maintain a continued successful offense until (ialicia was I F cleared of Russian troops. ' f With these facts at liand the (icrI man plan is apparent. Naturally I F Warsaw is the objective, and what- ! ever moves have been made must In* < , analyzed with respect to their Affect ^ on a campaign to take the Polish cap- ! W Hal. r As the Teutons had the advantage J first of superiority in lieavy guns and i U in munitions for them, and had in I I addition the railroads which were I absolutely necessary for their for Iwara movement, it is an entirely nat- i ural supposition that the Galicia i drive could be successfully consum- i mated by thrusting the Russians back I into theft own territory, and thus i clearing Galicia. The task of accomplishing this was 1 left to the German right wing uiw'et* 1 General von Linsingen. Such a move- 1 ment by itself could not reach Warsaw, it is true. Rut, simultaneous I with it, the Germans from the north at PrsasnyBz and along the Harew front pressed south, nnd those from the south along the Kielce-Sokal front pushed north, the plan evidently being to seize the railroads running northwest and southeast, and by advancing ulong these roads, cither cut Warsaw ofT or force a hurried and disastrous retreat. It is the same proposition exactly, though on a much larger scale as at Soissons and St. Mihiel in the west The general Russian line around Warsaw is a huge salient, the vertex of which is the line directly west of Warsaw. The (*erman attack is against both shies of this salient with the object of gradually closing the circle, cutting one life line after another as they advance. It must be noted, however, that in order for this movement to be sucIcessful, the entire German right wing from Kielce to Ressarnbia must either advance together, or tlie Russian line between Kielce and Sokal must be split wi<te open and the two flanks foiled up nnd defeated In detail. Ii iie uermun line soutn or I.ublln | and Cliolm ran not be thrust cbn- i tinually forward while the line along ] the Dniester and the npi?er Dug is ? held securely in its place. To at- < ' ' tempt such a manoeuvre would be to . force an attack with the point of n i salient, which formation the German ( line would soon obtain, leaving both ( sides subject to attack as they were | ; going forward at the point. < As the point advanced the sides 1 would naturally be elongated, and I should they at any point be too thinly manned the possibility would exist ( of the Russians breaking through ; and cutting off the point completely. , Moreover, it is a matter of grave i I doubt whether, if General Mackeusen ' I did attempt to drive the point north- 1 I ward, he wpuld dare to continue such i a move were the Russians to direct a 1 sudden attack against his flanks. Or- 1 dinary military caution would noga- i tlve such an idea. It is im|?ossihIe< 1 therefor?, for any part of the Teuton line east of Kielce to attain any ] marked success. All of the line must | _ be successful or none of it can Iw. I - Tlve moveipents of Genernl von Lin- J singen and of General Mackensen ure i entirely subordinate each to the oth- j er. One can not succeed without the ( I other. Now as to what has been ac- | ( compllshed. t On Sunday night the general posl- \ tlon of the eastern battle line was t that Indicated. On Monday the Ger- i mans pushed forward both north and i east, occupying Zamosk and Turo- t bin, on the southern hanks of the ( Labunka and Por Rivers, and took t Krasnlk. * On the east they cleared the west ?" bank of the Gnila Id pa of Russians n and cleared also a part of the west c hank of the Bug. Monday night pon- a toons were thrown acrosB the Gnila t Lipa, and Tuesday morning the Teu- 1 tons crossed in force, driving the t Russians back toward the Zlota Lipa. s They were unable, however, to l cross the Bug or to make any pro- f ^ gress In the Por-Labunka region. The * Russians evidently made but little ef- 1 fort to check the advance between ' the Gnila Lipa and the Zlota Lipa, n but once the Germans had crossed 11 'the former stream they fell ba?k across the latter and took up the de- r fense of the crossing a HHp As was noted last week, the de- 11 ' fense of the Zlota Lipa is a much more feasible problem than tho de- n fense of the Gnila Lipa. due largely a to the character of Its banks, which * W are very steep and precipitous. It 0 W therefore has considerable defensive P Ha possibilities, which the Russians were n n not slow to seize. Along this line * the Tentds advance waa on Wednes^H day definitely cher' id, and absolute- n ly no progress lias <een made on this m front sfnoe. Along the southern line the same h H Hiconditlon prevails. Fighting Is go- n ^^HHlng on contiguously, and Is notably * between the Bug and the upper Ji H Bar/. hut neither the Berlin nor the tl ^^^HKnRMeports indicate any advant*. It DHHraL, afmpiade of progress, of peat- a Eeetflk?n, but Since Wednesday the fl ITof.ir changes In Gu^Iou^Sk battle front would caution J !!H undue speculation. Prophecy^ a not proper subject matter for tbe military criticr. At the samo time'it >s well to note certain elements which will Influence heavily the future German advance, since an understanding of these elements will make clear many of the reasons for future movements. The one basic consideration is the railroad situation, and its importance lies in the fact that modern armies must move by railroads?particularly Llie German army witji its extremely lieavy guns and the mass oi artillery ammunition it must transport for these guns as well as for the guns of smaller calibre in order that its offense may be continued with maximum effect. Lemberg, as has been noted, is the point of convergence for all railroads of Eastern Galicia, but it is a significant fact that none of the roads radiating from Lemberg crosses the Russian frontier except the road to Rovno via Rrody, and this road is entirely within the Russian lines. Beyond the frontier for a distance of fifty miles there is absolutely nothing until we reach the single line railroad which generally *parallels the battle line, and runs from Ivangorod to Itovno by way of Lublin. I'holra, and Kovel. This makes the German task on tills front peculiarly difficult, and gives the Russians a marked advantage in tlieir defensive i>l>crutioii8. The Russian line is retiring parallel to the Ivangorod-Rovno railroad, and will be ultimately supported by tl,n ra llrnaila 11-- ?? ? v?v . > v/uuu JVU1IU5 lUlO III1U 1I UUI tho north and northwest. This will make tlie reinforcement of their line, wherever the attack may fall, a comparatively simple matter, and will greatly facilitate tho necessary flow of ammunition and supplies. The Germans, on the other hand, must move overland all of their artil* lory and supplies from buses some distance a why. Their problem is further aggravated by the fact that the ground over which they must move is liberally sprinkled with woods and marshes, .which naturally offer the greatest difficulty to the passage of the necessary German heavy guns. It confronts the German leaders with an entirely new problem?one they have never had to combat in any territory since the war began, except in their first ndvance against the Memen and against the Upper Dniester. The first-mentioned movement was a failure, and the second, in itself a failure, was successful only because of the success of the troops elsewhere that made it impossible for the Russians to hold the Dniester line It is worth while noting, too, that in this theatre, in order to compensate for her expenditure of ammunition, which has been vast, and for her losses in men, which must approach the half-dillion mark, Germany must get a decision. Otherwise the twenty live thousand square miles of territory which she has regained for Austria and the effect her advance has produced at Bucharest and Sofia must be regarded solely as a defensive operation. A decision can l>e gained in hut two days, and one of these is not final: I'lrst, by the capture of Warsaw, and* second, by the destruction of the Hussion armies. If the (Germans could turn the Vistula line and, coming in from the southeast, capture Warsaw, which, by the way, is not uncovered l>> driving the Hussions from (ialicia, they would achieve a result almost as decisive as piercing and breaking the Kussian line. Warsaw, being the point of convergence of so many railroads. is the principal strategic point i>f the whole eastern front. Merely pushing the Russians back, however, can accomplish no lasting result. The Russian territory is so i'.roat and the Czar's resources in mpn so enormous as to preclude the possibility of obtaining a decision by such means. It was the method attempted by Napoleon, who penetrated the Russian vastness beyond Moscow, only to find that tfte Russians, instead of being rendered hors de vri.Kim, nu\< mux [mdyiubh ii means by which liis army could starve itself lo defeat. Whether Germany will permit her eastern forces to m -et the fate of S'apoleon's army remains to he seen. At the same time it may well be remembered that Napoleon's successes were obtained by defeating his enemies one at a time, that is, by obtainng a conclusive decision against ono before moving against another. But .vhen they all coalesced against him ind acted in unison, Leipsic and Waterloo followed. The past week has been marked >y the greatest activity on almost he entire western front from the S'orth Sea to the Swiss frontier. Karly n the week a British attack was aunched against the town of I'llkem n Flanders, about a mile and a half 0 the east of the Ypres Canal. It tad some measure of success, and the tdvance trenched of the Germans vere taken and field against counterittacks. But it was a sparodic and solated movement which was not iressed and not followed up. Since hen this section, except for artillery luels at long range, has been uninorestingly quiet. In this connection it is somewhat lifficult to understand the long inictivity of tlie Brltisli mi the Flanlers front. As far as is known, they 1 rn li nl/lln ff a **# *1.1-*.. .. w ..viu?iiq a ssuaat, mux iiuriy niles, as compared to two hundred leld by the French. The number of roope In the present expeditloning trmy can not be less than seven hunIred and fifty thousand of well trainid effectives. No other section of he entire battle line has anything ike as many men to the mile of ltne leld as has the front in Flanders, tnd yet it is the one section that Is nost quiet England, as 1s well advertised, has iot a sufficient flow of ammunition, nd it may well be that such arnmuiltion as she has is being conserved, n preparation either for a heavy Gernan attack, which is expected as soon s reinforcements can be spared from he eastern theatre, or for an advance f her own, which has been already ilanned and is only awaiting the nost propitious time for its inceplon. England's infantry are the best narksmon' of any infantry in the rorld?largely because it is one element in a soldier's training that Engmd has always held to be of para-' lount importance. And the English nhool of musketry has more than nstifled its existence. At the same Ime. under modern conditions, Engmd's infantry or the infantry of ay other nation can not' carry the ght to Germany unless the way has i i ' " ;,V*'' l&a * i of moot wvflre but lndes. J dflWe %btlng. Small gains have mad;/ first by the French and | thdL by the Germans, but vlth no result. It is a game of exhaustion In which, the/ side with the greater reserve powbr must eventually win. Just as fturipg most of the fighting in this section, the action has crystalized around Souchez, the small salient that Is left in the French line as a result of .their successfully pushing back the German line to the north and south in the operations of a month or bo ago. Due to the maze of trenches around the old sugar refinery, progress has been literally foot by foot. Most of the fighting during the past week has been initiated by the Germans?heavy counter-attacka in an effort to regain that which they had lost in the previous fighting. A few yards of trenches have changed hands, but no more. In the Argonne the Germans have been steadily increasing the pressure on the east slopes of the hills, in an effort to reach the main railroad supplying Verdun?the Chalons-Ve, lun road. As explained last week, however, there is no bectlon of the battle front where France can in an emergency throw more men in a very short time than on the line from the nipuuue iu iiiiaiu. The result has been that the German efforts have l>een practically fruitless. The German effort to invest Verdun has caused the fighting fo spread to the western leg of the "wedge," from Etain to St. Mlhiel. Here the French advances of the early spring, particularly the advance which led to the capture of the heights of Ees Esparges, have stood them in good stead. These advances enabled France not only to seize positions which were points of vantage and of observation, but also gave her excellent artillery positions with broad fields of fire. The German efforts along this line have, therefore, been also without results. At St Milijol Itself, the point of j the wedge, the Gernmns record some gains, but it is extremely unlikely that any serious attempt will be made to push this point north to the Argonne line. It has been pointed out that the apex of a salient is the most ineffective point on which to base ai> attack. As the point goes forward tho sides lengthen out, and when tlieso sides face an enemy who is active, well in hand, and plentifully supplied, the danger of a sudden attack breaking in behind the point and seizing its lifelines is too great to be invited. The Germans know the French strength at Ailly, Flirey, and in the T.e Pretre forest and will be too wise to make the attempt. South of Point-a-Mousson there nave Deen desultory artillery exchanges with a more or less sustained action in the Argonne. It has been reported that Germany is about to transfer a largo body of reinforcing troops to the western front, and it is pointed out at length by some of the European papers that all indications lead to the belief that an attack will bo made in the Vosges. It is possible that this may be a movement co-operating with the attack on Verdun. The success of such a movement would mean the turning of the French line, would uncover Nancy and would uncover or isolate Verdun. But the obstacle of the Vosges is a very serious and difficult barrier and Reltort. against which tho attack would necessarily fall, is among the strongest fortresses in France. It is questionable whether the advantages of turning the French line will counterbalance the difficulty of the task. In the Dardanelles there has been no advance reported that is of moment. and the battle of the strait seems no nearer a decision than it was last week. That the Allies are advancing is certain, hut their advances are very similar to those in tho western theatre?few yards at a time over a narrow front. Even these arff accompanied by great loss. It begins to appear, with no intention of detracting from the strong defensive effort of the Turks, as if the British seriously underestimated the task before them when the Dardanelles movement was planned. This seems to be almost a national charac leriinm:. Thirty thousand men wax the estimate of the war office of all that was needed for the Boer war. Nearly ten tlmeR that number were In the field when the war ended. A hundred thousand was Great Britain's quota in the expeditionary force that landed in France last August. It was considered enough. Nearly a million are on the British line now and new armies are in training And Is spite of the advances the Allies are now making with their present forces on the Oallipoli peninsula, to reach Constantinople strong reinforcements will be necessary and will beyond doubt bo sent. On the Italian frontiers there is little to note beyond the fact that there is fighting. The Austrian* have at various point* assumed the offensive and the Italian* are finding their advance n more difficult, undertaking than it wax during the first week* of the war. Reports from Rome and Vienna during the week have been meagre and not particularly illuminating. In fact, nothing can be gleaned from them that would indicate the slightest change in the situation from last week. Further comment in this theatre will, therefore, be deferred for the present. FACE MEXICAN SITUATION fjAtiMing to I<?y F?ct? Before Wilson for Derision. Secretary Lansing hr.n decided to lay the whole sitnr.tion In Mexico before the president when he returns to Washington this week. The continued refusal of the warring chieftains to accede to the suggestions of the president's recent r.ote has produced a situation which in the opinion of officials at Washington demands other action. The state department does not be lieve that the situation can be solvr J by the recognition of ono leader o\er all the others. They held that such a solution would contrrvene the specific demands or suggoctions of the president's noto, or that the factions should get 'ogether and agree on a man or group of men.
