NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE removal
of the Grand Duke Nicholas from the
command Of the Russian armies this
week, has been followed by strength
ening Of the Slav resistance. The re-
suit is due, in all probability, to the
glamour cansed by the czar's dramatic
resumption Of his post as Russia's
military chief, coupled with desire
by all the field generals to make an
immediate impression on his majesty.
Whether or not the effect will be
permanent, 1t has given the Russians
an undoubted temporary advantage.
The German advance TO the Dwina riv-
re, which blocks the main road to
Petrograd has been checked and the
river crossings remain in the czar' $
possession. The teutonic offensive in
eastern Galicia has also been halted,
but 1t was easy to exaggerate the I'm
portance of a Russian victory In that
quarter Berlin claims the Russians
did no more than bend back the Aus
tro-German centre which later moved
forward to its old positions. The
teutons are preparing for a stronger
thrust from Galicia into southern Rus
sia but they are not strong enough yet
for this new offensive. The Russians
however. announce it's early develop
ment by publishing the fact that the
preliminary civilian evacuation OF
Kiev has begun. The retirement OF
Grand Duke Nicholas may have mo-
mentous consequences for Russia,
apart from the military effect Of a
change of leadership. The grand
ducai system Is the backbone of Rus
sian bureaucracy. The disgrace OF
the most powerful and most eminent
of the grand dukes. is equally the dis
grace of Russia's bureacratie system
