MYSTERY INVOLVES
BALTIC CAMPAIGN
Only Bare Announcements of Progress
Creep Into Official Reports-Plan
to Drive Slavs South.
PETROGRAD IS NOW OBJECTIVE
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg Re-
vealed as Holding Check on Rus
sian Attempt to Advance on Riga
BY J. w. T. MASON.


New York, Aug. 13.-For the
first time since the present German
offensive against the Slavs began, the
part being played in the campaign
by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is
announced by the German govern
ment. He is revealed as being In
command Of the operations in the
Baltic provinces and as holding in
check q Russian attempt to advance
toward Riga and Mitau.
simultaneously, and perhaps with
ominous significance, the Novoe Vre-
mya, Petrograd's leading newspaper,
is declared in today's dispatches to
have published a warning that the
real German objective is Petrograd
itself.
Where Won Hindenburg is, there
must center the climax of the present
struggle to force the Slavs to make
a separate peace.
Elements Of Mystery.
The Baltic campaign has possessed
elements of mystery from it's begin"
ming. Only bare announcement Of Its
progress have forced their way into
official reports. and the numbers of
troops engaged have been kept secret.
1t has been assumed that the pur-
pose of the Baltic offensive was to
cut the Warsaw-Petrograd railway
and then attempt to drive the Rus
SLAMS southwark into the arms of Won
Mackensen and the Vistula armies.
But the annihilation Of the Grand
Duke Nicholas field forces may not
be the major purpose of the Austro-
Germans, after all. The immense
difficulty of the task may have caused
its abandonment, if, indeed, it was
thought ever to be really possible by
the German general staff.
To Isolate Petrograd.
Instead of expending all their
strength trying to put airing about
the Russians, the Teutonic strategists
may intend principally to isolate Pet
rograd and block the Slav armies in
central and southern Russia. Then
Won Hindenburg could march into the
czar's capitol and compel the czar and
his court to fee.
It is obvious the Russians are be-
ginning to fear this may turn out to
be the German plan. There are no
illusions, apparently, among the slavs
concerning the Napoleonic compar1s-
on. Because Napoleon could not con-
solidate his holds on Moscow Is no
reason why the Germans, once in Pet
rograd, cannot cling to the city in
definitely. The Novoe~ Vremya esti-
mates the present Teutonic power Is
seven times that of Napoleon's.
Whether Russia's own power has In
creased sevenfold during the last CEN
tury remains as yet to be proven.
