 It was argued that the conduct of this retreat without great loss would entail the necessity. of the Lublin- > Chelrn front holding firm. Now that it is broken quick action on the part of the Russians becomes imperative as also does the stemming of the in- creasing German forces driving from Kovno and Suwalki toward Wilma, the capture of which would cause the northern line to retreat
 British Greatly Concerned. , With these developments Great Britain is greatly concerned. Some sections of the newspapers are seizing the opportunity to emphasize Russia's task and press for conscription here as the best proof to give Russia that the western allies purpose to stand by her.
 The Russian press according to spe- cial despatches reaching London, feel that the western allies should have initiated some movement in France or , Belgium to relieve the strain on Rus sia, as Russia did by her invasion of East Prussia.
 With the events shaped as they have. it is realized here that Russia has lost the initiative for the re- nainder of the summer, which will en- able the central powers to strike hard at either France, Belgium, Serbia or Italy.
