CAMPAIGNING IN THE WINTER

An eastern paper makes the fol-
lowing interesting observations on
the European war. in case 1t is con-
tinued through the winter:
SUPPOSE the war is undecided, as
seems almost sure, when winter
closes down on northern Europe.
The Russians advance into Germany
will be made through a country
whose climate in winter is not unlike
that OF our middle New England.
Snow lies on the ground in much OF
the region from November till late in
April.
The defending Germans will occu-
by the barracks of strongly fortified
towns and cities, with every possible
arrangement for the keep and COM
fort Of the men. The Russians will
find themselves on the outside doing
their best to live in the open country
or in such villages as they may &C.
cupy. They will be able to attack
ony after dragging guns and material
many miles owe frozen ground and
through heavy snow.
The burning OF Moscow will be re-
peated a hundred times on a smaller
Ecale II 1t shall be found necessary to
deprive the invading Russians of the
shelter. Whatever the Germans must
abandon they will. IL possible, de-
stroy, that 1t may render no service
to their enemies. Retiring If they
must, as winter d%escends upon the
campaign, the Germans will strip the
country Of whatever food, forage or
housing for the invaders. Russia not
only will confront the staggering
need to house an army OF millions on
the wind-swept and bitter cold Prus-
sian plains, but will have to bring up
the supplies they will require over
wretched roads and ~bridgeless rivers.
To the west and south in France,
winters are mild, and the German
army will have less difficulty carry
ing on its campaign through the
worst Of the cold weather. 1t will be
ardous and heart-breaking work, but
1T will not be comparable to the fear
fui task OF the invaders on Germanys
east.
Ten millions Of men may spend a
