denberg, too, had to fight an army
much better supplied with ammuni-
ton than are the Russians in the
southeastern area, so that he had to
overcome a greater power Of resist

Hindenbers's east Prussian success
arouses far more military and popular
enthusiasm than the present Austro-
German victories.
Nevertheless, the operations in the
San district and about Przemysl are
OF an Importance second only to the
freeing Of east Prussia from the Slavs.
With the fall OF PrDsmysl and if Lem

for driving the Russians out of AUS
trian territory will then become prac-
tical and the marvellous feat Of hurl-

NEW YORK, June 3.-G1 a. N y
The capture of 26S,000 Russians last
month in the southeastern area of hos
tilities is the most stupendous single
victory OF the war as far as losses
inflicted upon the enemy are concern
ed. At the same time. the conse-
u1ences Of this latest AustroLGerman
success cannot be compared with the
results of Won Hindenburgs first vic
torv over the Russians in east Prus-
sia.
Won Hindenburg established a def
mite ascendency over the Slavs at
Tannenberg, and thus gave to the Ger
man troops an invaluab bic morale at
time when the military ability of the
Russians was being counted very
high. Although far less captures were
made by Won Hindenberg than are
now to the credit of Gen. Won Mack

ing with him, there Is no danger OF

have been made Of this character do not
consider that history always searches
for the pioneer and the initiator and
pays chief honors to him.
Won Iindenberg remains the pio-
neer. It was he who first showed how
the Russians could be beaten and it
was he who inspired Germany with
complete confidence in the security of
her eastern frontier. The Austro-Ger

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Pessimism
and hope were about equally balanced
n official Washington circles today.
The president, secluded in the white
house had about completed his rough
draft OF the new German note. 1t
still remains to be passed upon by
Robt. Lansing, state department coun-
eelor and expert on international law.
After that it will be subject only to
such changes as last minute consulta-
tions with the cabinet suggest.
Because of the optimistic attitude
assumed by Ambassador Won Bern
storff after leaving the president yes
terday, many officials took the posi-
tion that the crisis was past. This,
others pointed out, was an entirely
erroneous assumption. The ambassa-
