Turning to the eastern theatre: The
enemy. taking advantage OF their GEN.
trail position. since early In June have
been employing a very large proportion
OF their forces in efforts to
crush our Russian ally. In prosecution
OF these operations the Germans, in adj
dition TO their great numerical superb
GRITTY. developed vastly preponderating
artillery. which enabled them to force
the Russians from their d~cfences. The
German objective was evidently to de-
stroy the Russian army as a force in
being and thus set free their troops for
action elsewhere, but. as In the case OF
many other plans arranged by the Ger
man stan during this war. there has
been a signal failure to carry out he
original intentions.
In the history Of this wal few cpl
sodes stand out more prominently. more
creditably, than the mastery manner in
which the Ru ian forces. distributed
along a line of $50 miles. have been
handled while facing violent assaults
from an enemy greatly superior I'm
numbers, especially OF guns and NUM-
lions. The success of this great rear
guard action has been rendered possible
by the really splendid fighting qualities
of the Russian soldier, who in every
case where actual conflict has taken
place has shown himself infinitely super
Tor to his adversary. These fighting
qualities OF the Russian army enabled
her able Generals and competent stan
to carry out the immensely difficult
operation Of retirement Of the whole
line over some 100 to 200 miles without
allowing the enemy to break through at
any point or by surrounding their forces
to bring about n tactical position
which might have involved surrender
