TEUTONS BOW
TO NEW CHIEF
Germans Applaud Elevation
of Hindenburg to Com
mand of East Front.

CBy the international News servtee.)
Berlin, Aug. 5.-Rising exultation is felt
throughout Germany over the elevation
mand all the German and Austro-Hun-
garian armies in the eastern theater of
war
The war Office has made admissions,
practically in regard to the Galicia cam
paign, that had begun to arouse anxiety
in some quarters. and for some time there
has been an insistent demand that either
Field Marshal Won Hlndenburg or Field
Marshal Won Mackenzen be placed in
supreme command on the eastern front.
Already German troops have been sent
into Southern Galicia to stifren the Aus
tro-Hungarian defenses Of the Carpa-
THAN passes where they were threatened
by the Russian army Of Gen Lechitsky,
one Of the Brusilofr group.
Military experts believe that one of the
first enterprises launched by Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg will be a general
offensive along the Dvina River front,
in Courland, to Offset Russian pressure
in Vorhynia and GalicIa. and to break
the lines Of Gen. Kuropatkin's armies
north and south of Dvinsk, II possible
There never have been any extensive
fears in Berlin that the Russians would
break through the German defenses in
Volhynia by a direct drive against the
forces of Gen. Won Lnsengen. but there
has been some apprehension that the Rus
slams might be able to flank the Ger
man armies in Volhynia by driving in a
northwesterly direction through Gallcia.
