treat before IL is overwhelmed by the
victorious TeutOns, what possibilities
Will the new situation present?
Before a suggestion can be at
tempted, 1t must be realized that the
least the fall of Warsaw can mean,
aside from the capture of an impor-
tant railroad centre and manufactur-
ing city, Is the retirement of the
whole Western front of the Russians
behind the line of the Vistula and the
Bug.
The, Russian line will then be
Strengthened out and materially
shortened by the flattening out Of the
Warsaw salient. A further German
advance could probably therefore be
checked, provided the Russians am
munition supply be not too greatly
impoverished.
But this presuppOses a German in
tentiOn to advance, and there seems
to he no logical reason why she
should wish to go beyond the line OF
these rivers. If the Russians make
good their retreat 1t will be perfectly
evident that the destruction OF the
Russian army and its consequent
as a fighting force will be
an impossibility. The best Germany
can hope for will be to neutralize IL
at least for a while, and nowhere else
on the eastern front can this be done
so effectively as along the line of the
The defensive possibilities OF the
Vistula have been already pointed
out. In addition, 1t is crossed on a
large scale by railways only in the

Upon scrutiny of the time and place
Of the occurrence described the Ger
man government has become convinced
that the attacked steamship was actu-
ally the American steamship Gulfight.
There can be no doubt, according to
the attendant circumstances. that the
attack is to be attributed to an un-
fortunate accident and not to the fault
of the comma nder. The German gov
ernment expresses its regrets 10 the
government of the United States con-
cerning this incident and declares it
self ready to furnish full recompense
for the damage thereby sustaind by
American citizens. 1t is left to the dis
cretion of the American government to
present a statement of this damage. or.
if doubts may arise over individual
points, TO designate an expert, WEo
