New York, Jan. 22.-The Russians
are pushing their new advance vigor-
ously toward Thorn. This has sudden
ly become the most important move
ment in any of the war zones. The
Slavs appear once more to have
changed their plan Of campaign to have
returned to their original resolve to
overthrow the German defenses on the
Vistula, which are second only in
strength to the defenses on the Rhine.
The absence of news Of the Russian
advance toward Budapest and the ap-
parent inability Of the Slavs to follow
up their recent defeat of the Turks in
the Caucasus suggest that instead Of
sending sufficient reinforeemnts to
support these movements, Russia re-
CARDS the new offensive against the
Germans along the Vistula as for the
moment the dominant factor in her
strategy.
There are, in fact, six different
campaigns now being conducted by the
Russians. The first is in East Prussia,
the second toward Thorn, the third be-
fore Warsaw, the fourth in Galicia, the
fifth in Bukovina and against Buda-
pest and the sixth in the Caucasus.
Six campaigns require a serious
division of the Slav offensive, and,
what is more satisfactory to the Ger.
man general staff, Petrograd has been
tempted into a policy to indecision.
