LONDON, Aug. 2S.-J. l.. Garvin, editor
Of the Pan Man Gd.eitc, in "A long
editorial to-day says that the German
victories in Russia are as much OF a
menace 10 France and Great Britain as
II they mad been won IN either OF those
countries, He believes that If some
thing Is not done and done quickly by
the Allies, either in France or in Bel
GUM or at the Dardanelles. the Germans
Will attempt to force their way TO
kieff or Moscow, and not impossibly TO
petrugrad.
He says In part.
The Germans main object is still to
break down one way or another. the
Grand Dukes fighting power and pre-
vent the recovery Of his offensive
strength and knock Russia out of the
war.
As To what may happen II the wilma

Moscow form "a sort Of strategiCal tri-
angle, roughly measuring 400 miles each
way. The capture Of Moscow. IL il
could be achieved. would he for many
reasons a far more serious matter. II
would plant an enemy in the heart of the
Russian railway system, and would in
volVe a lateral movement depriving our
allies Of their chief arsenals.
"The attempt would be daring and
hazardous, but must by no means he
regarded as impossible In view Of the
of modern trans
port supplies. The Germans in all likeli-
hood Will advance against both Petro-
grad and Moscow,
Il will not repeat now what have
previously written about the chances Of
German failure. I rather dwell upon
the imperative duty of the western Al
lies. Britain above all, to come To the
aid of our allies at the right moment
when the German plans for the future
are fully disclosed,
considering all things the best mill
tary opinion is that the Germans will
not reach either Petrograd. Moscow or

to the fact II la be touch or go for all
three places.
we judge that at best it Will be- seven
or eight months before Russia can turn
and offer decisive battle or act with
full weight upon the defensive. Even
then the positions the Germans have
secured in Russia and the new railway
connections with Germany can mean
nothing less than a tremendous contest,
IN which a Russian advance, forced BY
sheer weight, will be as slow as their
retreat.
