NEWARK. Oct. 4.--Dclaware Col
lege football team made a good start
for the 1915 season Saturday after
noon by defeating the strong Penn
sylvania Military College eleven by
the score OF to 6. The score does
not begin to tell just how much the
blue and gold outclassed the Chester
boys in this, the initial game for both
colleges.
The result was a great surprise for
even the most ardent Delaware root
ers. The fact that "Bnl" Hollen-
bach was coaching p. NJ. c. and that
it was understood he had built up a
powerful team, made the local roust-
ers skeptical OF the final results, and
Delaware went into the game expect
ing hard contest and probably a
defeat.
The result, however, exceeded ex-
pectations. After five minutes or play
every Delaware student present felt
that the blue and gold would win.
"Bill' McAvoy. tho local coach, de-
serves much credit for the Delaware
showing. Notwithstanding the great
reputation OF Hollenbach, this game
demonstrates that McAvoy has turned
out a better team than Hollenbach.
with probably not near the advan-
taees that the Chester man had.
Hollenbach was not present TO see
the downfall OF his team, but his
presence could not possibly have
changed the result. P. NJ. C. was
lucky that they were not defeated by
much larger score, and fumbles at
critical stages of the game was all
that prevented Delaware from max
ing at least two more touchdowns.
The showing of the blue and gold
team in the early stages OF the game
gave the followers of Delaware an
excellent chance 10 root. Delawar,
was the first to score. Handy takinS
the ball over in the first period aftei

BUT MORE TO CHANGE in GERMAN PLANS

extensive as the Germans occupied in
Belgium and France. with a population
at least equal to that of the conquered
districts in the west. Most of this ter
ritory they had held for months and
their hold seemed permanent.
The last week in April the Russian
masses were across the Carpathians at
Dukla pass: the successful advance
into Hungary was expected. Austria
seemed on the point of collapse and the
world was talking of a separate peace
for the Hapsburgs in advance of
Italy's entrance into the war.
Secret of Russian Disasters.
Looking at the situation as it now
stands, when upward of 100000 square
miles of Russian territory are in the
invaders hands. an area half large
as France. while Galicia and Bukovina
have been won back by the central
powers. save for one little strip near
the Rumanian frontier, it is unmistak-
able that the past four or five months.
have seen one of the most colossal
transformations in military history.
What has been the secret of the Rus
sian disaster? What is the explanation
of the complete transformation of con-
ditions on the eastern front? The an
swer is two-fold 1t is due first of all
to the change in German strategy; sec
ond, to the insufficient organization of
Russia herself. which made it impossi-
BILE for her to munition her field forces
and insured their downfall. Part of
this failure is due to the fact that I'M
like Great Britain. caught a thousand
fold less ready than Russia, the SlavS
have been unable to draw upon Amer
lea for munitions. because only by the
Arctic and the Pacific could they be
brought to Russia. Geography, the
closing of the Dardanelles, the German
supremacy in the Baltic, all have con-
tributed.
Change in German Plans.
But the main factor after all, has
been the German change in campaign
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-09-26

plans. Germany tried to rush France
out of the war. She failed. She then
turned to slow but sure campaign to
dispose of Russia, to drive the Slav out
of the war and then turn with hands
free to deal with England and France.
With utter contempt for British mill.
tary possibilities, and with full
knowledge that French resources in
numbers were too limited to permit her
to risk an offensive, Germany devoted
herself to crushing Russia, not for a
year, but for a generation, for half a
century.
There was in the German calculation
a great deal of the gamblers method.
She gambled that Great Britain and
France combined would not be able to
break through the thin lines she could
leave in the west while she was dis
posing of Russia. She gambled that
the western powers would not, In this
same time, be able TO build up armies
to win after Russia was out. She gam
bled that the sudden blow to Russia in
the spring would keep Italy neutral
and the Balkans neutral.
How the Plan Worked Out.
Some of her calculations have proven
sound. The allies in the west have
failed to break the thin German line,
although they have tried desperately.
They have built armies equal to the
total Germany has in the field, but
100000 of British troops are still I'M
ready. On the other hand, Italy is in
the war. Still the Balkans have re-
manned neutral, and Italy has been
checked by a mere handful of Austrian
troops, say 100000. Even CONSTANT
nople has held out, although German
passivity in the west has permitted the
British and French to send large
armies to the straits.
But all this risk was taken only in
the expectation that Russia would be
disposed of, put out of the running for
the war and for the years after the
war. when the German place in the
sun" was to be obtained. And Russia
is not yet out. Her campaign is now

times as large as the great emperor's.
So far Russia has met them with the
tactics that first reduced the Corsi-
cans army to a skeleton and then de-
stroyed 1t, with the help of an early
winter. But their supreme trial is now
at hand. The capture of the central
army south OF wilma may repay Ger
many for her great gamble. Nothing
else will. One Of the greatest crises of
this war and Of modern history is now
unrolling before the eyes Of the whole
world. Germany Is again at the point
she reached when her guns were heard
in Paris and she opened the battle Of

Russians on a Long Line.

When the campaign opened tne hus-
sian line ran fairly straight from the
Baltic to the Carpathians. curving In
a little at the Niemen and bullying
about Warsaw. From the Carpathians
at the Dunajec line the Russian front
ran at right angles. first on the Hun
garian and then on the Galician side
of the mountains, and finally rested on
the Rumanian frontier north OF Ger
nowitz, which had changed hands a
number of times.
The Germans had tried to force the
line of forts from Warsaw to the Bal
tic along the Ninemen-N arew-Bobr r1v-
ers and had failed. They had tried to
force the lines before Warsaw at the
Bzura-Rawka rivers and they had
thians the Russians were pushing on,
fighting desperately and seemingly
grinding to pieces the inferior Austro-
Hungarian forces. AS the Russians
were well intrenched on this line. 1t
was impossible to make any desperate
assault without terrible losses.
The Germans. therefore. selected the
front between the Vistula and the Car
pathians. behind the Dunajec-Biala
rivers, where the Bulgarian general,
Radko Dimitrieff, the victor of Lule
Burgas, commanded the Russians. His
mission was to stand on the defensive
covering the flank of the Russian ar
Cracow-Lemberg railroad and the less
important railroad to the south, which
follows the foothills of the Carpathians
on the Galician slope, from the Dunatec
to the Rumanian boundary; these were
the lifelines of Russian power in Cali
cha: parallel to them ran the roads,
which were the veins, and the railroads
were the arteries.
