This plan. we may now hope. has
failed. but German strategy has another
huge enveloping movement In view. This
second string is for use In the event the
Russians escape the pair OF pincers and
establish themselves along the Niemen
and Bug line, which was officially an
nounced TO be the intention OF Grand
Duke Nicholas last week.
In order TO envelop this line the
plncers are TO be used further eastward.
BY occupying Riga the Germans would
be In "A favorable position for working
south along the Dwina River. ultimately
appearing In the rear of the new Rus
sian line. At the same time the other
half Of the piIicers would begin to close

For the operations agains, Kovno

is using a force OF $4,000. which shows
they are very much in earnest. II they
could break through the Russian front
between kovno and Dwinsk before they
have extricated themselves from the
battles OF the Narew. the Vistula and
the Bug the situation would become far
more difficult.
This fresh development OF strategy
by the German stan proves how des-
perately anxious they are 10 secure the
victory over Russia and o much they
are ready to sacrifice for such a gain.
Their losses continue to be very heavy.
but they evidently reckon that. no mat
ter what 1t costs. Russia In worth while
since the decisive victory would free
them for another fresh endeavor to de-
