RUSSIANS PLAY FOR TIME;
EVADE DECISIVE BATTLE
Grand Duke Striving to Reach Strong
est Line.

PETRoGRAD, July 6.-The Russian
waiting game has been justified. They
have evaded a general engagement while
conditions were unfavorable and mean
while weakened tho Teutons and given
the Allies time to strike hard.
The military critic Of the Novoe vremya
correctly explains the withdrawal on the
Bug and Dniester fronts as a maneuver
deliberately undertaken with the object Of
accepting battle under conditions best cal
culated to insure Russian success.
On the Vlstula front the ground which
offers Russians the greatest advantages
is that with Brest-Litowsk as a base,
with Ivangorod on the right bank and
a strong army occupying flank and rear
positions in relation TO the right flank
OF the army OF General Bohm Ermolli.
The Russian steady movement north
ward from Zamos and southwark from
Grubleszow compels the Teutons to eS-
pend ever increasing forces on lengthen-
ing their line Of communications, thereby
weakening the main body at the moment
of decisive encounter. On the other hand
1t Is equally important for the Germans
to expedite a general engagement.

Gounaris Ready to Defy
Will of Hellenic Nation,
Refusing to Yield Power
to Venizelos Despite De-
feat at Polls.
LONDON, July 6.

LONDON, July g.
The Greek Cabinet, under Premier Gou-
naris. is apparently ready to defy popu-
lar opinion as expressed in the recent
election, the returns Of which made Il
evident that a vast majority of the
nation is in favor Of intervention on the
side Of the Allies.
The Athens correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph sends a dispatch that the
Cabinet has announced that It has no
intention of reslgning, although the Venl-
zeos party won the election with a clear
majority of $50 in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties. Instead the Government is making
every endeavor to win over the Venizelos
Deputies.
The Gounaris Ministry. which is avow-
edly against any participation by Greece
in the war has the backing of King
Constantine and the Queen sister of the
Kaiser Against the Ministry is Eleu-
therios venizelos. the Creton lawyer, the
most popular man in Greece, who re-
signed the Premiership because of clash
with King Constantine. He Is openly
for Intervention in order that Greece may
cooperate in the settlement of the Turk
ish situation when the war is ended.
Venizelos has not only the backing Of
the Greeks at home, but the Greeks all
over the world, particularly in America.
When the convocation of the Chamber
was postponed from June to the first
week Of July and later to July 2l many
Greeks sent kilograms to the King and to

General Won Mackensen's march toward
Cholm and the operations of Archduke
Joseph between the Vistula and the Bug
are being greatly impeded by the sue
cessful defensive tactics adopted by the
Russians.
The country is cut up by many river
courses and hilly ridges and is remote

every day.
A giant Russian aeroplane OF the
Mourometz type flew along the River San,
and threw three and then seven bombs
on the German trains, setting them afire.
One train filled with artillery shells
was exploded. 10000 shells were de-
