| London. July THE military expert of
the London Times says there was an i'm
portant meeting recently at Grand Duke
Nicholas field headquarters. The Car
and several of the ministers were pres
| ent at this conference, which took place
| in a tent and lasted three hours. I'M
portant decisions doubtless were taken
and are now in course of execution.
We can suppose two main questions
| must have arisen. First, whether the
Russian central armies should retire upon
the Bug River: secondly. whether the
Southern armies should remain where
| they are, based on Southwestern Russia,
or be drawn in toward the north.
1t would be a grave decision to go back
to the Bug and leave the Vistula for
tresses of Novo Georgievsk, Warsaw and
Ivangorod TO look after themselves.
The avoidance of decisive battles I'M
til Russia is quite ready for them and
the maintenance of her armies on an
unbroken front outweigh all other con-
siderations.
Even IL the southern armies either
by design or the force of circumstances
are temporarily separated to some ex-
tent from the armies in the center this
will not lie necessarily detrimental to
Russian interests II they hold in front
of them an equivalent hostile force.
We and Russia have our failure to
secure an adequate supply of war ma
terial, after nearly year of the war,

1t is owing to this failure that liter

that the war is being prolonged I'M

OFFICIALS FEAR KAISER
MAY CARRY WAR TO u. s.
Possibility of Submarine Operations in American Waters Is
Recognized by Washington Authorities Cana
dian Coast May Be Used as Base

While there is as vet nothing known
here officially indicating that the German
admiralty intends to extend its submarine
operations to this side of the Atlantic
ii is no secret here that the possibility
of such action has been much in the
minds of officials, and the event itself
would undoubtedly cause grave concern
in Washington.
While reports have stated that the Ger
mans planned to operate OF the Canadian
coast, it is taken for granted here that
il German submarines do cross the At
lantic they will operate principally on
the route from New York and other
American ports. With the exception of
some vessels carrying troops from Canada
to France and England. most of the
sailings in which the Germans are most
ly interested are from New York and
other American ports.
1t is admitted that the United States
could not remain complacent with sub

marines operating off the shores of this
country. Exception was taken even to
the British cruiser patrol lying too near
to New York and other North Atlantic
ports. The British patrol contained no
menace to life or property as regards
merchantmen, whereas events have
shown how deadly the German subma rine
operations may be. 1t is not doubted that
the United States would object to the
extension OF the war zone to this side
OF the Atlantic. 1t regards the German
war zone as wholly illegal to begin with.
1t is pointed out that as Canada ia
belliSerent territory, the Germans might
have rights in regard to the Canadian
coast to which the United States could
not well take exception. The difficulty
is. as the possibilities of the situation are
viewed here, that once subma rines
crossed the Atlantic their operations
would not be confined to the vicinity
of Canada.
