London, Feb. lO.-Chief interest lies
in the fighting in the eastern zone,
the operations in the west having
lapsed into period of calm, with only
a few small engagements on narrow
fronts, which can have little effect on
the campaign as whole
In the east, on the other hand, the
Germans, having been checked in
their efforts to break the Russian lines
before Warsaw, have transferred many
OF their troops to East Prussia to meet
the Russian offensive in that region.
This offensive has commenced to be
a real danger to the Germans, as it
threatened to drive a wedge between
Tilsit and Insterburg and so to turn
the fortified position in the extremely
difficult country of the Mazurian lakes
II this movement succeeds the Rus
slams will overrun considerable part
of East Prussia and will again be on
their way to Koenigsberg and Danzig
The campaign in the Carpathians
and in Galicia is not so easy to fol-
low, as the official reports are exceed
ingly sparing in information. It is
evident, however, that while the Rus
sian offensive in the western passes
of the mountains is being pushed with
strength and has proved partially sue
cessful it has been met by stronger
opposition in the eastern passes, with
the result that the Russians have been
compelled to fall back in Bukowina.
They repeatedly have done this only
to give the Austrians battle when they
debouched from the Russian end of
the passes, and it is presumed that
this is their intention now. -. .~-a-la
The operations are on so large and
complicated a scale that it may be
weeks before definite decision is
reached

are scarcely more British flags flown

Superficial observation, confront

showing national self-control," "a

racial phlegm."

The figures corroborate me. To-
day, nine months after the war began,
the total British forces commanded
by Gen. French on the field of actual
operations are less than the number
of troops that went to South Africa.

iSh Workingman is too ignorant and
too stupid to understand what is in
volVed. That isn't true. The Brit
ish workingman understands what is
involved better than the British snob
understands the British workingman.
1t isn't ignorance but something else.
Yesterday put the question to the
keenest observer of these things in
the British Isles and the person best
qualified by study and sympathy to
interpret the workingman's mind, and
this was the answer:
'In the first place, the workers are
not moved by the war because they
have learned that war is not to their
interest. They get nothing out of it.
Next, in recent years there has been
growing among them a conviction
against all war. And next, they have
been attending international confer
ences and congresses of Workingmen
and now they revolt against the idea
of going forth shoot the comrades
they have met"
You can perceive here the germ of
very great hope. Is not this bet
ter than stories of battles and skir-
mishes?
This accounts for the thoughtful
workingman. AS to another large di-
vision of those termed "slackers' it
is matter of class. We do not have
classes in the United States; it is
hard for an American to understand
what they mean here. For genera
tons the caste system has been grow
ing upon Great Britain. 1t has now
had its inevitable product.
The war was made by the govern
ing class. 1t was made on an issue
in which the working class has no
material concern. 1t was a govern
ing class affair. Let the governing
class attend to it.
In other words, the war got off on
the wrong foot and has never since
