No Confusion In Retreat.

There ~ nothing IN the official des-
patches. not excepting the German OFF,
cial statements Of the last three weeks
to- give the slightss; hint OF any dis
order or confusion in the Russian re-
treat. The fact that the armies are in-
tact Is conceded of enormous impor-
tancc. In the coming operations in the
forest and the marshes the familiarity
OF the Russians with the territory. te.-
rltory quite similar to that in which
Russian armies have manpuvred in
times OF peace. will be of tremendous
advantage.
On the other hand, the Germans will
for the first time in the Russian cam
pRign. encounter natural difficulties in
which even the value OF the railroads
behind them will be greatly reduced.
The coming operations are expected by
military experts to be far more complex
than the battles in the Mazurian lakes
region.
significant feature OF the last few
days official German reports is the re-
reated mention OF cavalry. To this
branch OF the German fghting machine
may fall the bulk of the task just ahead
