WHAT MIL|TApIS1
thinks Of RUSSIA
Major Moraht, Military Writer,
y Discusses the Eastern
Situation.

Berlin (Via The Hague and Lon.
don) Dec. 4.-Major iMoraht, the mill
tary writer, i'm discussing the eastern
situation in the Tageblatt, says:
"The operations around Lodz seemed
to foreshado" the surrounding and
annihilation Of the Russian main
body but the Germans themselves
were surrounded by strong Russiai
reinfOrcements from the east and
south. The Germans, however, lib.
Grated themselves with heroic energy
from this development and resumed
their attacks with indomitable persist.
ence The gigantic offensive move.
lnent of the Russians from Soldau to
!. acow has already failed.
The plan, Of campaign, originally
made in Paris lin the interest OF
france and England, was that Russia
should throw her chief strength
against Germany in order to relieve
the pressure on the western front.
The intention was to make an irresis-
tible offense and compel the with
drawal of such large forces from
France as to make possible Anglo
French success. IA
Russia, howev r, threw her chief
forces against Austria, believing that
she would be able effectually to crush
that country in a short time, but after
four months struggle this has not
been accomplished because the Aus
trians and Hungarians are fighting
like in the time of Field Marshai
Radetzky, showing steady recuper'
ative force.
Russia has already been compelled
to change her whole plan of campaign
which often decided final victory III
favor of the opponent. What has al
ready occurred means an enormous
weakening of Russia's military power
Germany and Austria have captured
about 100000 unwounded prisoners,
at least an equal number must have
been killed or wounded and the
losses through sickness must reach
100000. This means one-third OF
Russia's best troops.
"The newer formations are lackins
in the military qualities necessary to
change Russia's destiny and the fail
ure Of the plan of operations therefore
means the irretrievable impairment OF
Russia's offensive power

NINETEENTH CHAPTER.

soul rose in rebellion against it.
That my father after all the years
during which he had neglected me,
should come to me now, when my
plans were formed, and change the
whole current of my life, was an
Outrage-an iniquity. 1t might be his
right-his natural right-but if so
his natural right was a spiritual
wrong-and | would resist ito my
last breath and my last hour l would
resist il.
Such were the brave thoughts with
which / passed that night, but at
10 o'clock next morning. when / was
summoned to meet my father himself,
it was on trembling limbs and with
a quivering heart that I went down
to the Reverend Mothers room.
Except that his hair was whittier
than before my father was not much
changed. He rose as | entered, say

being looked over for some unex-

Mother called me, and turning 20 go
to her l saw by the look of pain on
her face that she, too, had been hurt
by it.
She put me to sit on a stool by
the side of her chair. and taking my
right hand she laid it in her lap and
held it there during the whole of the
interview.
The Bishop, whom had never
seen before, was the first TO speak,
He was a type of the fashionable
