II. Russia Against Austria.

Russian mobilization being slower
that it would be at least six weeks be-
fore Germany need fear any attack
upon the east since the Austrian ar
mics might be expected to hold back
the first advances of the Russians. The
Russian problem was to dispose of
Austria before Germany could get back
from her great campaign in France.
Thus all the efforts of Russian high
command were at first directed against
Austria But the opening successes Of
Germany in France sled to the appeal
for Russian Intervention against Ger
many. which modified both German
and Russian plans and not impossibly
both
In examining the Russian operations,
therefore, it is necessary to think both
of the great movement against Austria
and the subsidiary operations against
Germany, first offensive and later de-
fensive. when Germany began to help
her stricken ally.
In the opening days of the war the
Austrians sent their main forces to
Galicia and attempted to invade Po-
land from Galicia with one force. while
holding the Galician front east of
Lemberg with another. Their opera
lions were handicapped by the terrible
defeat they suffered almost at the out
set of the war at the hands of the Ser
bians along the Jedar and by the addi-
tran troops and most of their heavy
artillery were borrowed by the Ger
mans for their operations in France
and Belgium

The DardaneIIes.

Three circumstances produced the al
lied offensive designed to take Con-
stantinople, by forcing the Dardanelles.
Turkeys entrance into the war in No
vember had closed Russia's Black sea
ports. Winter was sealing up the
Arctic and Pacific ports. Russia's need
for munitioning was plain. This was
the chief circumstance. Again, Turk
ish troops were undertaking an often
| sive against Egypt which threatened
British power at the very keystone of
the imperial arch. Finally, the fall of
Constantinople was bound to exercise
profound influence upon Italy and the
Balkan states.

| The operation began February 10, was
marked by initial successes. and was
completely checked by the sinking of
three battleships March IS What
many critics had foretold had now
happened: it had again been demon
strated that a naval operation of this
sort without the help of landing forces
could not succeed. 1t was necessary
to have recourse to a new expedition;
the Turks were warned in advance of
what was coming and allied prestige in
the Balkans was severely battered
On the other hand, Italian partfcipa-
ton was FASTENED and Turkeys attack
upon Egypt ended

A month later an Anglo French ex-
peditfonary army was landed on the

make any advance. The support of the
fleet was hindered by the operations of

weeks has there been progress by the
allies, and they have not yet reached
the first permanent position of the
Turks.
Whether the Dardanelles expedition
was wise or foolish, a point much de-
bated. it is plain that it has been bad
ly managed, has SO far failed to make
any serious progress and that the ulti-
mate capture of Constantinople is still
open to question. On the other hand

from Belgium.
The French achievement was wholly
unexpected to the Germans and re-
mains an enduring monument both to
French soldiers and to the French
command. In this campaign the Brit
ish part was slight until the battle of
Flanders, but here the British won a
remarkable triumph against great odds
and saved the channel ports. German
failure was not due to bad general
ship or incidental msta kes: it was due
to the amazing French rally and to
the fact that what had been attempted
was beyond the capacity even of Ger
mans. But the nearness to victory
seems to have justified the risk taken.
The Russian offensive failed because

dispose of France. 1t left them hold
ing lines which had endured the shock
of terrific attack. but it left them shat
tered and to some extent dsorganiZed.
The first British expeditionary army
had disappeared in casualties. France
had lost at least three-quarters of a
million of men. 1t was necessary to
reorganize all the allied armies, to at
tempt to overtake the Germans. whose
preparation and foresight had almost
won them. the decision.
Once this reorganization was achieved
and preparation began to go forward

operations not alone to get the Ger

also to relieve the pressure upon Rus

French Offensives (Jan. to july.
The main effort in the west has, of
course. been made by the French. In
the past six months a sustained at
tack has been made in each sector.
Thus in January the first offensive
broke out north Of the Aisne and
east of Scissors. Local advances
were made, but a food carried away
the Aisne bridges and the French were
obliged to evacuate not only the
ground gained, but the ground held by
the British in the early days of the

In February a new effort was made
in Alsace and French troops broke out

III. Germany Against Russia

All hope Of a decision in the west ended
with the repulse Of the Germans in
Flanders in November; in fact. II had
practically terminated when the beaten
German masses had retreated from the
Marine. Germany had undertaken to dis
pose of France at one blow, and France
had escaped. Belgium and the industrial
regions of northeastern France remained
in German hands. a rich prize, protected
by the strong defensive lines which the
German armies held from Switzerland to
the sea. But there was no longer any
prospect that new German offensive
could reach Paris or crush the allies.
On the other hand, it might still be pos
sible to win the war If Russia could be
eliminated. If Germany, while holding
all OF her western conQuests, could dispose
of Russia as she had hoped to dispose Of
France. there was still time to win a
great triumph. make peace on terms which
would be wholly advantageous If not as
favorable as had been hoped for in August,

While. the world was talking of spring

preparing for a great offensive Of the COM
bined Austro-German forces, which should
relieve the Russian menace to Hungary,
clear Galicia, take Warsaw, and, if pos
sible, crush Russian military power so
completely that Russia would ask for
peace or cease to be a factor for many
months.

they might expect that Russia would
seek peace or at least be compelled to
conduct a relatively harmless defensive
operation far within her own territory

development the Objective.
The main object was. Of course, to
dispose of the Russian armies by en-
veloping and capturing them. This
would in all probability mean a de-
cision. but short of this. If the Russian
armies were completely routed, with
Austrian and German territory freed
of invaders. with victorious German
and northern France, Germany might
expect to hear from her foes some pro-
posals for peace, which would be based
on the full recognition of her conquests
and achievements.
These lines were written with the
fate of Warsaw still in doubt. The
Austrian and German jaws are still
closing steadily behind Warsaw, but
the Russian resistance is desperate and
so far sustained At the moment Ger

was in France in September of last
