NOR ALL ARE ENGLIsH

To the Editor OF the Evening Ledger:
Sir-Your description OF the manufacture of
shrapne shells by the Bethlehem Steel Works
is making the rounds in various pro British and
rabid anti-German Anglo American news
papers. This is perfect shame and an outrage.
Attention has been drawn to this matter by the
German authorities, and as soon as the war Is
terminated enormous indemnity will be de-
manded of the United States for this pernicous
violation of neutrality.
Have you no regard whatever and have you
sense of propriety Notwithstanding the fact
that there are more than $4,000 900 persons OF
German origin in this country? We are not all

Three Towns bv the Shore

Precisely as long as the Austrians can hold
the Russians on the line of the Carpathians
the country offers the defenders all Concev-
able advantages But to judge from recent
reports the Russians are slowly steam
rollering" their way to the plain. once this is
reached with three railroads and natural
highway at their backs and level plain
hundred miles broad on their front the Rus
slams can deploy their masses and resume the
tactics which won for them in Galica in Au-
gust and September of last year.
For the observer the real test of Russian
progress must be the occupation by the
troops of the Car of Bartfeld, Ungvar and
Munkacs the towns at the foot of the Car
pathlans and on the shore of the Hungarian
plain. Once these towns have fallen, Russian
success in the battle of the Carpathians
cannot longer be denied
The key of the whole operation is the Duk
la the narrow Panama-like isthmus between
the Galician and the Hungarian plains. Here
the Russians seem to be putting in their main
effort, and they are meeting with their most
conspicuous success. All other operations are
subsidiary to this main thrust through the
shortest, lowest and least difficult of the
passes,

THE '1STHMUS" OF
THE CARPATHIANS
"Steam-rollering" Across Panama"
Topography and Battle-If the
Russians Are Successful at Dukla
Pass, What Then?
BY FRANK II. sIMoNDs

TNHE simplest fashion in which to describe
L the topography of the present battlefield
in the Carpathians is to compare that noun
tain range to long isthmus separating the
Galician from the Hungarian plain For
most of its 400 miles sweep from the Ger
man to the Rumanian frontier this isthmus
is very wide and covered by ranges which
rise in folds one behind the other. Their
average height is perhaps 5000 feet, but
south of Cracow the peaks of the High Tatra
are little short of 5000.
AT one point this isthmus narrows to less
than 40 miles and the mountains sink to less
than 100 feet. Here is a great natural de-
preston, comparable with that at Panama
This is the famous Dukla Pass, leading di-
rcctly north and south from the headwaters
of some small aniuents Of the Hungarian
Thesis to those of similar afTluents of the
San and the Dunajec. over this pass goes
the main national highway from Hungary to
Galicia. To the east two other passes, much
longer and higher, the Lupkow and the
Us2ok, lead from the same Hungarian plain
and carry light railways connecting Budapest
with Przemys and Lemberg, respectively.
Invading a Granary
The main Russian advance is coming
south through the Dukla Pass. the easiest
Russians advance down this pass they will
presently reach the points where the Lup-
kow and uszok lines enter the Hungarian
plain, and thus compel the Austrians de-
Tending these passes to retreat to escape
being caught between the two Russian forces
-one at the Galician, the other at the Hun
garian end of the passes. At the present mo-
ment the Russians are well south of the sum
init of the Dukla and approaching Bartfed
in Hungary, which is in the plain and 1874
miles from Budapest. They also south
of the crest of the Bupkow, but seem to have
made no real progress at the Uszok.
Coming south by the DulSla the Russians,
If they are victorious, will very soon reach
the Hungarian plain east and west of spur
of mountains which divides two small river
valleys. East of this ridge is the broad val
ley of the Upper Thesis, opening south and
west and offering a level road to Budapest.
If they can once reach the plain the Rus
slams can use their Cossack cavalry to sweep
this whole region, which is the granary of
the Dual Monarchy. Even if they are unable
to reach the Hungarian capital the destruc-
tion which they can spread through the
wheat region may prove an irreparable dis
aster to the Austro- German cause.
Another circumstance must he noted. AS
the Russians advance south in the plain they
will very speedily reach the western end of
the railway leading from Hungary to Buko-
wilma. 1t is by this line that the Austro Ger
man troops now invading Bessarabia and |
Eastern Galcia were transported and are
supplied. BY cutting this line the Russians
would dispose of the only railwa.' between /
and Vienna, compel the evacuation
of the crownland and probably the eventual
evacuation of Pennsylvania.
