Petrograd, via London, Dec. 21.-A
general attached to the Russian staff
who recently returned to Petrograd
from the front, reviewed the present
military situation Sunday in an OPP
timistic manner.
I'VE are now at the close of the
first period of the war; he said. 1T
has ended, to be sure, with the battle
front shifted to the eastward, but
without marked ADVANTAGE for the
Germans.
'The German offensive was begun
with the center extending from Posen
to Kalisz. The armies of General
Mackensen and General Francois adj
vanced to the Bzura river, occupying
positions in almost a straight line
from Plock through Domitz and Lodz
to Piotrkow, where they fortified
themselves. The northern division
which proceeded to Ciechanow and
Makow, was forced back to the FROM
tier. The Austro German troops from
SiIesia advanced toward Olkusz VOL
brom and Novo Radomsk, while far
ther to the south the Austrians pro-
ceeded to the river Dunajec, aiming
to free Cracow.
ITO the southwest of Przemsyl an
Austro- Hungarian army attempted to
cross the Carpathians, striving to re-
lieve Przemysl and free Galicia. The
centers of intense operations develop
ed in the order above mentioned.
The strategic position of the rail-
road lines enabled the Austro Germans
to maneuvre their forces north and
south, and east and west, and vice
versa The total number Of Austro-
Germans opposing Russia is estimated
at more than forty army corps. (about

British Witness
Says German Landwehr
Are Sick Of the War -

London, Dec. 2t.-The great diff
culties under which military operations
in France and Belgium are being con-
ducted are described in a narrative of
recent Developments written by an
official observer attached to the British
headquarters and made public Sunday
by the official information bureau. The
recital brings the story of war, as
covered in these eye-witnesses reports,
up TO Dec. II.
The opposition now being encount-
cred resembles to some extent that
met with by us in the beginning OF
October when we first reached the
France Belgian frontier, and before
the Germans brought up their full
force and assumed the offensive" saws
the report. It has one great differ
ence, however, and that is that the
enemy is in much greater force and
hty positions are much stronger and
oa s3srganized than they were two

meant an attack on skillfully but has
tily fortified strong points or villages,

machine guns that we have in front
of us today, 1t is no~longer success

such points, and some are the same.

These measures of defense are only
such as are to be expected from troops
which areEwell trained and have ample
resources and time; and there are, of
course, ways in which they can be
overcome. But where these methods
are applied, the rate of advance is
necessarily slow. When it is reported
in laconic terms that ground has been
gained at q certain point, Topographic

few yards. Tactically, on the other

Russian Officer Gives
Comprehensive Review Of War
From Russian Standpoint

eown territory and fortifying thorough
ly the lines mentioned, no effort would
be made to go farther. The enemy
would content himself with remaining
on the defensive along this front so
that thirty army corps might be trans
ferred to the western theatre of war.
These aspirations cannot be real
lied, because the Russians are being
reinforced continually and now are
occupying positions which may be de-
Tended much more effectually than
their previous ones,
THE Sochaczew country, which is
low and rnarsilH offers the most ex-
eellent facilities for defense. The
rainy weather also faVors the Rus
slams in their trench digging, while at
the same time it ruins the roads used
by the German forces Of invasion.
During the temporary luli in this
region, the next large battle is ex-
pected around Cracow and Przemysl
with the probability also of German
movements in force around Mlawa,
SuwallSi and WirhalIen.
''The situation on the Caucasian
front has not changed materially. The
Russians there are remaining on the
defensive on account OF the rigorous
weather. The Turks, with greatly in
creased forces are attempting an in
vasion along q route which leads from
Urumiah, in northwestern Persia, TO
the shore of the Caspian sea at Baku.
thence to Elizabethpol and on to Tif-
lis. Their efforts in this direction thus
far have been unsuccessful.
Between Kars and Erzerum, where
hostilities were begun, operations now
are at standstill. The previous in
tention of the Turks to make a de-
scent on the Crimea and elsewhere
along the Black Sea. has been either
abandoned or delayed.
Meanwhile Russia is preparing a
coastline defense. The Turkish feet,
after it's temperance at Batum
again has disappeared.

period Of the war as source OF gem
