plies concentrated at crucial points
has been emphasized again and
again.
Under these circumstances it is
scarcely conceivable that General
Robertso1's new appointment means
he has relinquished control of the
British army's' supply system. Rather.
1t is to be assumed that the mainten-
ance of supplies has become SO i'm
portant as to be paramount even to
strategy.
The selection of supply genius to
become chief of the British general
staff. therefore, may mean that the
general staff's principal duty now has
been changed to the maintenance or
munitions at the highest possible
level Modern trench warfare and
aeroplane scouting have seriously In
terfered with field operation and the
secret movement of troops which are
the basic conditions of strategy.
Superiority in supplies has now be-
come the handspring of victory. The
British seem to have been so impress
ed with this fact. that they are rank
ing the quartermaster generals de-
nartment above that of the depart
inent of strategy. Such seems to be
the lesson of General Robertson's new
appointment.

PTRoGRAD, March a. Austro-
German losses In the attempted sor-
ties from Przemysl and the fighting
south of Tarnow In the last forty
eiott hours, total moro than 10000,
according to a semi-officiai statement
from the war office today.
The enemy's entire plan OF CAM
pagn in the Carpathians, apparently
has been overthrown. The Slavs
have struck crushing blows In the
Lupkow and Dukla pass regions and
have rIddIed portions of the garrison
at Przemysi that attempted to storm
the positions Of the Russian besiegers.
1t is now known that the recent saw
ace onsIauchts by the Austro. o.Gernnans
south of PrzemysI did not constitute
an actual attempt to relieve the be-
sieaed fortress. Its purpose was to
divert Russian troops from the DukIa
and Lupkow pass regions, where the
czar's soldiers were making steady
progress In the movement into Hur-
GARY. For the same reason the
PrzemysI garrison became suddenly
in an ireffectuaI boribardment Of the
Russian position.
Developments In Poland in the last
two days have been equally satisfac-
tory. The Germans have lost large
supplies Of war munitions, including
enough machine guns to equip an en-
tire corps.
The Russians who penetrated north
ern East Prussia and occupied MemeI
on the Baltic, have thrown up en-
trenchments to protect the town from
an expected German attack from the
south. Russian cavalry have entered
the village of karIsborg three miles
south of Memel. without opposition.
They reported that the Germans who
fled from Memei, had retreated be-

LONDON, March 22.-The capture
Of Przemysl is the greatest blow
struck for the allies since the Ger
mans were checked in their drive on
i aris last fall. Consequently the OFF,
cial announcement from Petrograd
aroused the greatest enthusiasm n
Official circles here this afternoon.
The fall Of the great Austrian fort
ress came at a crucial moment for
the Austro-Germ allies.
In the north, Prussia has been in
yaded by the Slavs, Won Hindenburg's
forces in Poland apparently are being
forced back upon the Prussian from
tier, and the Russians have taken al
energetic offensive. At the extreme
end OF the eastern battle line, the
Slavs are again advancing into Buko-
wilma.
In France, the allies, reinforced by
E1glands new army, are preparing
to strike to force the Germans back
to their own soil. To the south,
ltaiy's armies are putting on the final
touches for what is regarded as a
certain dash into Austria.
On avery front the Austro-Germans
find themselves confronted by great
armies, eagerly on the aggressive and
ready to strike. And suddenly a Rus
siaa force Of four full army corps is
thrown into the balance against them
by the surrender of the Austrians at
Przemysl.
Military critics pointed out here to-
night that the 100000 Russians that
invested Przemysl are almost as fresh
as new levies. Resting in their
trenches. they have escaped the rig
ors of the winter campaign along the
Carpathials. That they will be rush
ed southwark along the railways lead
Ing to the Lupkow and Uszok passes
to invade Hungary is deemed certain.
The Austro-Germans must meet
this new force. Presumably they will
hurry corps from the front in Poland,
lifting the pressure upon Warsaw and
making probable new Russian IN
vasion of east Prussia. At the same
time Italy is expected to seize the
opportunity to strike while the Aus
troGermans are beset by The new
Russian armies.
Przemysl was one OF the greatest
Austrian strongholds and its defense
against large Russian armies stands
out as one of the notable incidents OF
the war. Capture Of the Austrian
