 Situation in East.
 Berlin Via London, Feb. 20, 1o:50 a. m.-Explaining the situation in the east Major Moraht, military expert of the Tageblatt, points out that reports from general headquarters show the pursuit of the Russians is proceeding in three directions. The northern most has resulted in the capture of . along the line from Tisit to Tauro- gen. The Russians however, soon were forced to retreat again, Major Moraht says, and it appears that no endorsements have been sent them from Kovno. He continues: There also has been fighting northwest of Grodno, probably against the fortress garrison sent ahead against the Ger mans. The situation is just as fa- vorable in the district of the Narew River, near Lomza where the Ger mans are still contending with ap- parently fresh Russian troops from the fortress at Iomza.f
 This whole movement is the re- suit of the Mazurian Lake victory. It was we'll prepared and splendidly car- ried out to cover the right flank of the fortified line north of Marsam."
 Hopelessness of Allies.
 Major Moraht declares the western situation shows daily the hopelessness of the allies offensive and adds:
 Our procedure there stands in a certain degree under the pressure of general conditions. We must like General Lee abandon for the time our bold warfare and restrain ourselves to steaGy holding on.'
