CITY OF WARSAW CENTER
OF RUSSIAN RAILROADS.
Ha. Population Of 100000, Third In
the Entire Empire.

Warsaw Is the railway heart Of Rus
sian Poland. From it the arteries Of
supply and transportation go forth to
the great fortresses Of the Niemen and
Bobr. Vistula to Ivangorod and Brest
Litovsk. and into 1t run the veins OF
communication from interior Russia.
1t Is center of concentration.
Warsaw Is a city of 100000 inhab-
itants, the third in the Russian empire.
1t is protected by Novo Georgievsk, the
fortified line of Blonie, the line Of Gro
jec to the south and finally by 1vango-
rod, all at distances varying from twen-
ty to fifty miles. 1t has second cir
Gle Of seventeen forts swinging across
the Vistula, then a third circle of fif.
teen fortresses, all Of which have as
their center Alexander citadel. just
north Of the city. and Fort Sliwicki.
just across the river from it.
According to the military attache of
neutral power who has just arrived
in London from Berlin, where he spent
several years in his official capacity. the
effort which Germany Is making on the
eastern front is expected there to prove
the supreme deciding factor Of the war.
No doubt Is entertained in German mil.
itary quarters Of its success. Every
other military consideration for the
time being is being subordinated to the
Importance Of giving Won Hindenburg.
who is in chief command of the whole
operations, an opportunity Of striking
q crushing blow.
The German plan of campaign on the
eastern front is admitted even by Brit.
ish military writer's to be on vaster
scale than anything yet attempted in
the war. Along the whole front from
the Baltic to Roumania, not far short
of 1000 miles, German and Austrian
armies are in motion with the prime
object Of encircling the Russian armies
and compelling q surrender, by com
parison with which that Of Sedan
would be a small affair, and. IL this
prime object should not be attained. OF
compelling the Russian evacuation OF
Poland.
With Poland on the one side and Bel
gium and a part Of France in Their
hands on the other, the kaiser's boast
that the war would be over by Oc'
tober certainly might not be verified
but at any rate Germany would be in a
position to offer terms Of peace that
would have the appearance Of magma
nimity.
