GERMAN ADVANCE
H. .PR0vES COSTLY
Russia Confident That She Can
Wear Out Her En-
emies.

Petrograd, Aug. 2.-From a person
who, although not connected official
ly with the war department., is in
close touch with the government Of
tcials and is well acquainted3 With
the military situation and tae Russian
state of feeling, the Associated Press
has obtained the following review OF
tn first year of the war:
THE end Of the first year Of the
war finds Russians potential fighting
ability undiminished. Her armies
are intact, her resources virtually I'M.
touched; and the determination oL
her people, the morale of her troops,
hav only been deepened with the
growing realization of the enemy's
strength.
"This determination is expressed
most forcibly in the mobilization CT
vast industrial resources for the pro.
duction Of war munitions. These ef.
forts are rapidly lessening t.,c dispar.
ity Of the comLatan.s in guns and
ammunition. Russia does not look
for a speedy termination of the s,rug-
gle, but feels confident OF her power
to exhaust the enemy.
"The campaign on the eastern from,
must be viewed in relation to the
enormous extent of territory over
which battles have been wagsd, from
the Baltic to Bukowina: The far
flung advances and retreats Eere
have had no more significance rela-
lively than gains and losses Of a thon.
sand yards on the eastern. front. To
interpret Russia's' temporary loss CT
territory as German success is to ig-
more Russia's role to engage as: great
a part Of the enemy's forces us posi-
BILE, to relieve pressure on her allies.
Russia's refusal, to accept battle in
Instantaneous conditions, even
though she must temporarily aban-
don territory, has kept her armies
and defensive lines unbroken.
Costly Maneuvers.
ut is the assertion of Russian All.
thorities that every German advance
has cost Germany more men, bot.l
relatively and actually, than it cost
Russia. They regard Germany as
now committed definitely to Il. cam
paign which is carrying the German
armies further and further from their
bases; and to abandon this campaign
would be g disastrous defeat for her.
Moreover, it is maintained that not
even the territorial ambitions of Ger
many have been realized, since tle
German detectives on this front have.
not been fully attained, 4
a"The advance of the Austrians in.
to southern Russia in the early stage
Of the war met with full defeat. It
was followed by Austria's loss OF Ga.
lfcia: General Ivanof, at the head
of the southern Russian armies, car
ried on one of the most brilliant OF.
fensive campaigns Of the war. The
present stage may possibly be regard
ed as an u%ncompleted repetition Of
the earlier movement.

MACK" BUR[EY
TREATS CHILDREN

A recent issue Of the Oregon Jour
nal tells an interesting story of X. M,
Mack Burley, a former Bismarck
resident. Berley was employed as
bond clerk in the land department at
the capitol for several years.
He recently purchased q new auto
mobile, and Is now the idol Of. all the
kids in Portland. "Mack's' pet stunt
is to get all the kids he possibly can
in his car and take them on outings.
The outings were 50 frequent that he
has attained considerable notoriety,
However, he has set an example for a
number of other residents of the city,
which will result in rides for some OF
the youngsters who never had the op-
portunity to get into an automobile
before. ''

cost the enemy Tremendous losses.
It was only after six weeks of the
most intense fighting in the Bzura
region, due west Of Warsaw, last
winter, that the Germans recognized
the futility Of attempting to break
the Russian front by direct frontal
movements.
con the other hand, by exacting a
heavy toll Of lives in rear-guard &C.
tons during the carefully ordered re.
treats and by keeping her own army
intact, Russia successfully performed
her appointed task. aa,,, ~
THE East Prussian aggressive,
which manifested, itself periodically,
and latterly the Baltic campaign,
never have been regarded otherwise
than as divisions. A parallel to these
movements is found in the Bukowina
operations, in their relation to the
general Galician campaign. Their
chief Importance has been to draw
men from other fronts, where more
serious fighting has been in progress.
while it is understood the fate
Of the Turkish provinces on the eau
casian front will be determined by
the general course of the war, this
should not minimize the genuine mill
itary successes Russia has achieved
in that distant field. Russia did not
desire to expose her strength in Ash
attic Turkey, but when opposed by the
threatening Turkish advance in De-
cember she exerted her power, flung
back the Turkish army at Sari Ka-
mysh. and began a series of move
ments which carried the Russian
arms to Van and the approaches of
Bitlis and Mush, in Turkish Arme-
MIA" nv.
