What the War Moves Mean
By j. w. +. Mason, Former European Man
a9er of the United Press.

Whether or not shells, are now fall.
ing into Warsaw is a question solely at
the discretion of the Germans. The In
yaders are now we'll within artillery
range of Warsaw and can lombard
the city If they wish to do so. 1t is
not probable this is being done, for
the present, because the military ad-
vantage would not be sufficient to
warrant the play of artillery fire on
the civilian residents of the city. War
saw itself is not a first class fortress
and apart from Novo Georgiewsk TO
the northwest and Ivangorod to the
south, it's principal defense must be
by q mobile field army.
By moving upon Warsaw just oIt-
side the range OF Novo Georgiewss,
the Germans have counteracted the
effectiveness Of that fortress, which
under the circumstances Of the pres
ent campaign can serve only to pre-
vent Warsaw's complete envelope
ment. Since Warsaw Is not being be-
sieeed, in the proper sense of the
term. Novo Georgfewsk is practically
useless. The rapid milling of the
Ivaneorod defenses Is opening the
yistula to the Austro-Germans further
m the south and warsaw's evacuation
nrobably will occur almost simultane-
ousIy with the seizure of the south
ern vistula.
