Dunaiec to the Strfba was about two hum
bred miles. Over twenty-five thousand
square miles of territory had been freed
of the invader. All the Russian conquests
save a thin slice of Galicia about Tarno-
pol had been regained, perhaps 100000
prisoners had been captured, and not less
than half million Russians had been put
out by death and wounds But the Russian
armies had not been enveloped or captured.
After the first disaster about the Duna-
ice the Grand Duke had been able to ex-
tricate his armies. He had defeated the
Austrians south of Przemysl and south
of Lemberg. Wherever the Russians and
Austrians fought without German partic-
ipation, the Russian superiority was still
manifest. But munitions had failed the
Russians and retreat had been inevitable.
Galicia had been lost to the Gar and the
battle for Poland was now on.
The Polish Salient
When the campaign opened the Russian
line had been fairly straight, with slight
bulge about Warsaw. After the fall of
Lemberg the front had been so bent back
that Poland was like nut between two
Jaws of a nutcracker, one jaw being East
Prussia, occupied by Hindenburg, the other
Galicia, now held by Mackensen and the
Austrians. In fact, the Russian line was
now about where it stood when the war
opened.
After the Russians had been driven
back beyond Lemberg, Mackensen, whose
main army had never gone far east of the
San, made half wheel to the north and
moved against the Warsaw-Kiev railroad.
His objective points were Cholm and Lub-
lin, in the gap between the Vistula, at
Ivangorod and the marshes south and
east of Cholm.
This was the only weak spot in the
whole Russian defensive position of the
Polish salient. Along the whole northern
side, from the Baltic TO Warsaw, the forts

Dunaiec. But the Russian rout was too
complete to permit a rally here, and the
Germans pressed on. At least one Russian
division, operating in the Dukla Pass, was
trabped and practically destroyed. But
the rest were able to make good their re-
tirement.
From the Wislok to the San the Russian
retreat slowed down and the rear guard
fighting became more effective. The de-
struction of the railroads and the bridges
slowed I'D the German advance. Reinforce
ments were hurried, to the Russians
Three weeks after the first disaster there
was apparently good reason to believe
that the Russians would save their armies,
DESPITE the heavy initial losses. They were
now approaching the third line Of defence
the line of the San, the southern end held
by the fortress Of Przemysl, which they
had captured before; the northern by the
field works about Jaroslav, that had held
back the Austrian drive in the preceding
November. II they could rally here they
would still hold most of Galicia.
At the San.
Along the San in the last days OF May
the Russians made a brave stand. Pre-
mysl held back the flood for some days,
and about the town and to the north the
Russians scored some local triumphs. But
the Germans now varied their attack. AS
the Russians had fallen back from the
Wisok they had drawn their troops out
of the Carpathian passes and back upon
the Dniester River. Now the Germans re-
inforced the Austrian troops which had
been holding the Hungarian side of the
passes, and these armies came rushing
down the Galician slopes and forced the
crossing of the Dniester east Of Przemysl.
The main Russian army about Przemysl
was now between two jaws, one made by
Mackensen's army, which had crossed the
San at Jaroslav and was moving south
and east Of Przemysl; the other made by

expectation that Russia would be disposed

tanned. And Russia is not yet out. Her
campaign is now entering decisive stage
if Germany does not put Russia out In the
next few weeks the coming of the autumn
rains will give the Russians the respite
which will save them. The next few
weeks, perhaps days, must decide the
story.

Another Escape.

As close this review, the escape is gen.
orally conceded. The Russians seem to
have cut their way out, for the net is thin;
but the peril has been very grave, the
gravest since the campaign opened with
the Dunajec disaster.
II Russia escapes then it will be neces-
sary to count the German campaign a
failure, for the Russian armies will still
remain. 1t has cost Germany and Aus
tria not less than million, perhaps a
million and half of casualties. II has
cost the Russians perhaps 100000. But
the Russian supply Of men is unlimited,
that of the Austrians and Germans re-
stricted, and there remain France, Great
Britain and Italy to deal with. Should
the Car escape and Constantinople fall.
then the disaster to the Germans would be
very real.
In sum, for six months Germany and
Austria have been attempting TO repeat
Napoeon's gamble and win. They have
sought to destroy Russia in a campaign.
They have employed armies Of not less
than 100000 that is, five times as large
as the great Emperor's. So far Russia
has met them with the tactics that first
reduced the Corsican's army TO a skeleton
and then destroyed it, 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 Germany
for her great gamble. Nothing else will.
One Of the greatest crises of this war and
of modern history is now unroling before
the eyes of the whole world. Germany 10

KEEP UP THE CUSTOM

A few yers ago the happy suggestion
was made that every house in town be
fully lighted and the shades raised on
the Eve of Christmas lighting to
continue during the week. The sug-
gestion was adopted, and since that
time house illumination has grown into
local custom-A very pretty custom
all will agree. Christmas is above all
Others the time for brightness, good
cheer, the radiation of happiness and
for whole town to exhibit its cheer in
this symbolic way shows that it has
caught the spirit and the meaning of the
holy festival. Impressive, invigorating,
is the effect on those within doors and
those without. The whole atmosphere
seems surcharged with good will, and
the green wreaths with their bright
ribbons of red-how hospitable all this
makes the community seem. May the
custom obtain this year and may the
houses be even brighter than ever be-
fore.
