LONDON. Aug. 22.-Thc Daily Mails
Petrograd correspondent says 1t does
not seem to be the intention of the
Germans to storm the fortress OF Brest-
Li'oysk, but that the latest movements
rather Indicate their decision to mask
the Russian stronghold.
The question now being discussed In
P%etrograd, this correspondent says. is
as to what the motive of the Germans
was in storming Kovno and Novo Geor-
gievsk. throwing away thousand of
lives. when they might have reduced
these fortresses ~lcisurely by less costly
means.
The capture Of Novo Georgievsk.' -
the correspondent continues, was eff
focted only by a ruthless sacrifice OF
men, who were driven in dense masses
to bear down the defenders by sheer
weight of numbers. In the fighting for
the outer fortications the German dead,
according to information given out by
the War Office, lay In heaps before the
Russian position

The correspondent cites various CON
jectured reasons which he says are most
likely for the Kaiser's desire for 2
triumphal entry into Novo Georgievsk
IN the coming week. The most probable
o. these reasons, he believes, Is the pro-
posed declaration Of the independence

He adds that tho Russian output OF

The situation In Galicia remains
