MUsCOV|TEs RETREAT
TO DEFEAT GERMANS
KAISER'S WARRIORS TO BE
DRAWN AWAY FROM
SUPPLY BASE

Petrograd, Aug. 30.--The evacua
tion of Poland was decided upon by
Russia in 1910, declares the Russian
Invalid the Russian military organ
in discussion Of the general stairs
before-the-war plans for the defense
of the western frontier.
Before the war" says the journal
Russia anticipated that in the event
of war Austria and Germany, because
of their rapid means of mobilization
and immense technical resources,
would turn their attention first of all
against Russia. To Illustrate this
plan it was decided in 1910 that the
Russian territory jutting into Ger
n;nny and the fortified places west
of Brest-Litovsk should not be or
ganized for a state Of war The reg
ion further east was chosen for the
concentration of the Russian forces.
'It would have been dangerous to
and to have held on to the Narew
and Vistula, with their fortified towns
1t is better to take advantage of the
depth Of our theater of war to draw
the German armies far from their base
and to force them to exhaust them
selves. To this end it was necessary
to sacrifice the Polish salient. Three
months have elapsed since the Rus
sian army started to put this plan into
execution. Constant marching, fight
ing and privations weaken the enemy.
There are already evidences that the
moral force of the German army is
weakening in its attack and prisoners
confirm that this weakening is not
only moral, but physical.
Battle viii Settle War;
This war will be decided by the
armies in battle, an dit is of no i'm
portance where this battle will take
place. Thur our retreat assures us
victory, for our armies are only now
beginning to develop, while an abund-
ance OF munitions of war awaits us
in the near future, thanks to the mo-
biization of the national industry
and the orders placed abroad, where
as for the moment the enemy is in
a favorable position in this regard,

May Strike at Balkans.

Speculation again is being indulged
In as to whether the Germans intend
to follow the Russians further or pre-
pare positions from which they can
hold the Muscovites, while the Ten.
tons attempt an offensive in the Bal
kans or on the western line in France
and Belgium. Military observers here
are of the opinion that this question
must be settled before many days
have elapsed arguing that with the
summer coming to an end any ven--
lures proposed for the fall must soon
commence to develop.
Thus far the Germans have made
no n6ve toward a great offensive in
the west and the threatened Austrian
attack against Serbia has consisted
mainly Of long distance artillery en-
gagements.

Gradually Nora sobbed out that she
didn't want another place, that she
had heard what they said about the

Helen, helpless before this hysteri-
cal outburst, finally promised to give
her another months trial, another
chance to conquer her sullenness.
Reassured by this, Nora quieted
down, but Helen left her with vague
misgivings. Already she half regret

right, Nora did impose on her. No
one else would put up with her sui

her resentment against Nora hard

Mechanically she opened a tightly
folded envelope and poured into her
hand some bullet-like pearl buttons.

Nora had carefully cut them off and

Only yesterday Helen had read about

lonely. The next moment she was out
in the hall Not waiting for the ele-
vator she darted up the stairs.
AS she stepped out On the roof a
rain drop splashed in her face. 1t
was a heat shower. The drops came
faster, rafting heavily on the tin roof

family from the street below.
Nora was~not there. The roof was
deserted. Helen turned to go down,
then paused. What was that over by
the chimney? Something moved.
It was Nora, huddled against the
chimney, her head on her arms
"Why, Nora, what are you doing up
here in the rain?"
No answer except a choking sob.
You'll be SICK" Helen shook her
lightly; her thin waist was damp.
