him somewhere north OF the Lublin re-
glon and protect his flank and rear,

him, will be considerably exposed.
The Germans and Austrians who have
swept over the Galiclan border are thus
within 1870 miles Of Warsaw. The forces
of Field Marshal Won Mackensen have
reached within about 81 miles Of the inn
