Russians Strip Country.

Petrograd.-The main mass of the
Russian army deployed between the
BObr and the Pripet marshes is fall
ing back on another general position
along the greater part of a front of
$50 miles. The retirement is being
carried out independently of any local
pressure of the enemy, who is sup
posed to have 20 corps concentrated
on the line of Brest-Litovsk.
For some weeks past the work of
stripping the country in the immediate
rear of the Czar's armies of all ma
chinery, stock and supplies that might
be of any use to tine enemy has been
vigorously prosecuted and the forti-
fications evacuated are nothing more
than heaps of debris.
The Russians, in fact, are adopting
the policy which proved fatal to Napo-
leon. AS the line of battle drifts east
ward conditions are bound to become
progressively more favorable for the
Russians and less so for the armies
Of Germany and Austria. Not until
something like equipoise of armament
and munitioning has been restored
will the Russians accept the risk of
really decisive struggle.
Meanwhile the enemy will be check
ed and retarded and his energies
wasted away wherever typographical
conditions afford a favorable oppor-
tunity for making a temporary stand
