STRUGGLE BEGUN
FOR PETROGRAD
E5s ---- '4
Russians Last Attempt at Defensive
to Be at Wine and
Minsk. -.~. .
By J. w. T. Mason.

The struggle for Petrograd has be-
gun. The, Russians are retiring from
Brest Litovsk directly toward Petro-
grad, and their present immediate OBJ
jective, Minsk, is almost one-third
the distance to the Russian capital.
No attempt is being made by the
Grand Duke Nicholas to create diver
sion. He realizes the danger threat
ening Petrograd, and his one pur-
pose is now to concentrate all his
available troops to block the German
advance to the northeast The Rus
sian forces are keeping intact, and
it is probable that, if the Slavs in
tend making an immediate stand to
contest the way to Petrograd, they
will give battle between Wine and
Minsk.
Last Natural Position.
Here is the last natural defensive
position before the Dvina river is
reached, which forms the outer bar
rier of what is properly the Petro-
grad hinterland 1t offers an ad-
mirable opportunity for an offensive
drive against the Germans, although
chances are all against the Slavs be-
ing able to develop a counteroffen-
sive of their own. Could they do So,
the German right wing might be
forced into the -Pripet and Pinsk
marshes and the memory of the East
Prussian reverses avenged.
@Watery Region Difficult.
This is the watery region north of
Minsk, on both sides of the Dvina
river. Innumerable small lakes cover
the territory, and amid these treach-
erous lowlands Won Hindenburg may
have an opportunity of repeating his
tMo great victories OF. the marshes:
To avoid the danger of the lakes
north. of Minsk, the Grand Duke
Nicholas will have to exercise care
full strategy, but at the same time the
lake region will protect his left flank
if he holds his line intact and can
retire to the Dvina in good order.
His front, too, can be shortened.
From the lakes to the Gulf Of Riga
the distance is about 200 miles. This
should comprise the entire Dvina
'front.'. It is shorter than any line the
Russians have defended since the be-
ginning of the war. If it cannot be
held, Petrograd's fall is inevitable,
unless the Teutons are compelled by
events in the west or in the Balkans
and Turkey to abandon the Russian
hunt.
Concentration Being Made:
Concentration toward the Wilma
Minsk line is being made by the Ger
mans as we'll as the Russians, and
the first struggle for the possession
of Petrograd will probably take place
here-400 miles from the Russian
capital. The weeks developments in
the eastern war area all suggest that
the Russians are counting on hold
ing the Vilna-Minsk line, if they are
allowed to complete their concentra-
ton. The entire situation along the
Russian front is rapidly developing
to the point where Won Hinden-
burg's northern army must make a
decisive move forward, or must con-
fess to another deadlock.
