LOOKS FOR
QUIET SUMMER IN WEST

London. June 26.--The military
expert for the Times, Colonel Rep
tngton, discussing the retreat in Ga
licia, assumes that the Austro- G err
man forces are sttfl aiming at de-
cisive defeat OF the Russian armies,
and, II practicable, their separation
into two unconnected groups, each to
be dealt with singly.
He thinks, however. that there Is
every hope that all of the Russia n
southern forces will be able to unite
on line from Sereth to the Bug.
The success OF the German plan,
he believes, or even its partial attain
ment, will mean that the German
armies may devote the remainder of
the summer campaign 10 the mere
maintenance OF q defensive on other
fronts while the best part of the Ger
man forces are thrown against Rus
STA. He considers. nevertheless. that
il Is necessary for the allies to be
prepared for a concentration of Ger
man armies in the. west and to see
to II that the lines are thoroughly
equipped 1t was largely this lack of
preparation and equipment that
brought about the Russian defeat in
Galicia, he says.

Not Heard From.

New York. June 26.-Char;es Beck
es's appeal TO Governor Whitman Is
said TO ask for executive action that
is absolutely without precedent ia the
annals of criminal cases. The Cow
ernor apparently has not made up MS
mind what to do about H. and al
though Martin T. Manton, Becker's
chief counsel. expected TO hear def
nltely from Mr.. Whitman today, he
has decided to say ana do nothing
that might prove embarrassing 10 the
Governor before the extraordinary
request Is acted upon.
Mr.. Manton would give no indica-
ton today as to the details Of his
plan. 1t was preached TO the Gov
ernor last week, when Becker's at
torney talked with him az Albany.
Governors Whitman, IL is understood,
promised to communicate with Mr.
Manton while he would be in New
York the last few days. and to let
him know then what conclusions he
had reached. Up 10 tonight Mr..
Manton had no word of any kind from
the chief executive or his secretary.
II was learned however. that the
action Governor Whitman is asked 20
take To save Becker's life il held to
be justified in this case only because
OF the peculiar and original circum-
stances OF the case. The remarkable
appeal is made because Governor
whitman has been placed in the po-
Sition of Beckers prosecutor and maj
Judge, and. 1t is understood, as direct
appeal to the Governors conscience.
Governor Whitman, If the general
idea Of the plan as learned today is
correct. has been requested TO select
an impartial tribunal 10 sit upon GER
tain phases of the Becker case.
The plan, according TO the version
obtained today. provides for this i'm
