MEANING OF MOVES
IN TODAY's WAR NEWS

The Germans have begun their
great drive on Warsaw from the
north, as indicated in the capture
of Przasnysz, followed by attacks
on the Narew River defenses of
the Polish capital. It is now to be
expected that another advance will
be launched by Won Mackensen in
the south, with the Austro- German
armies again making an effort TO
capture the Lublin-C -Cholm Railway
and thus make the fall of Warsaw
almost inevitable. The plan Of Mar
shal Won Hindenburg Is TO catch
the armies Of the Grand Duke be-
tween two Teuton armies, operat-
ing in the manner of nut cracker,
and thus destroy or capture a
great part of the Slav forces, the
only result that could be inter-
preted as a decisive victory for the
Germans. The Russians are evil

the memory of the utter failure Of
a similar German plan last Febru-
ary. The fighting in the Shawl
region in the north and the re-
ported resumption Of activity by
the Austro-Germans in southeast

tance and should be regarded as |
part Of the general plan of the
Germans 10 prevent a concentra-
tion of Russian forces on the hanks
of the invaders.
The Argonne region is still the
