WAR ISSUE HANGS

London, Sept. 12-In the east things
have happened with vengeance and
with such significance for the war as
another fateful stage by reason Of
changes in the higher commands just
when the shortage OF munitions Is be-
ginning to be remedied and by a patriotic
uprising in Russia.
The Russian dynasty has all at stake
and the Car might well reserve his in
tervention for a supreme moment when
his advisers were convinced the turning
point was at hand With the lengthen-
ing of the enemy's lines Of communica-
tions and the weather growing worse,
the advance Of the invaders must in any
case become slower and more careful
and yet more hazardous, while their
troops are jaded and their lacarated
units are filled out again with inferior
drafts. Wearing wastage will tell upon
their immense masses of material, and
as the country is ruthlessly laid bare as
they advance they must bring up their
own supplies.
Their difficulties for a month to come.
now that the rains have set in. must be
even more terrible than may be the case
during the subsequent frost The Car
must have taken the field In reasonable
confidence, not only of a complete ulti-
mate victory. but Of early success,
which would at least put a halt to the
erman advance
Do the Russians intend to make a
stand and accept battle with all its
risks and chances at a much earlier
date than was expected. Is 1t con-
templated to use moro aggressive tao
tics in defense? We soon shall see.
Much depends on the supply Of
munitions. 1t has been largely in
creased without yet becoming equss

battering power of the Germans.
All along the line there have been
many proofs that the spirit of Of
fense has not been in the least de-
gree impaired. We must not assume
the Russian retreat yet reached its
limit on any sector. These are move
ments of seeming menace: mutinously,
by wedge and mallet tactics at all
main points on the long Russian front
or just behind it, but what is the
Germans main plan the theory
favored a Petrograd is to aim in the
first place at all the chief railway
knots between Riga and Rovno and
possess themselves of all cross lines
between these places and the region
behind them.
Then they would have new facilities
for lateral movement as well as for
forward operations and the backward
traffic by commanding the whole
western mesh of Russian railways.
Whether the Germans intend there
after to menace Petrograd in earnest
or to entrench for winter across the
North while pushing south toward
Kieff. the Black Sea and the Balkans
is still in doubt. These questions in
volve some of the most momentous
issues raised in all the war. But
We must wait a few weeks before
we can draw sure conclusions about
plans or prospects. Russia's ordeal
is terrible; her necessity extreme.
