Will the New Dixie Hold7

There is nothing yet to indicate that the
Germans and Austrians will not succeed in
erecting their new dixie; that is, nothing
convincing. But the huge number Of Aus
trians who have been captured, the great
loss of artillery and munitions and the rela-
lively rapid rate of Russian advance all
suggest that there is decentralization in
the Austrian armies far greater than that
in the Russian after the Dunajec last year
and comparable to the Austrian debacle in
1914, which could not be checked until the
Austrians were driven across the Carpa-
thians and in upon the outer forts Of
Cracow.
Yesterday there was a significantly pes
sinristic comment reported as published in
a German newspaper which was inter
preted as designed to prepare Teutonic
public opinion for new retreats. But it is
not wise to lay too much stress upon such
details. The German reinforcements
seem to be getting into line east Of Kovel
and to be holding up the Russian thrust at
this decisive point, although there is not
yet any evidence Of defnitive check
The really important thing that every
one can see is that the Russians have now
pushed very great victory to the point
where it may prove one of the decisive in
cidents in the war. We see what they are
driving at and we see what they may &C
complsh. We see with equally clear
vision what the Germans must do and
what they are trying to do with character
istic vigor and skill. What we do not see
and cannot forecast is whether the new
line that is being built will hold or not and
whether the Austrian armies are still In
shape to make further resistance.
Looking Westward.
Since it is essential TO view the war as
a whole, let US now look westward for a
moment We know that the British are
ready to strike, or will be ready by next
month. We know that they have had until
quite recently to face a concentration Of
German troops which was so great as 10
hold out little promise of success for a
drive. Some of these troops have now
been drawn down 10 Verdun.
If Germany is presently compelled to
draw upon her troops in the west to meet
the peril in the east, then we shall soon
see a further reduction of troops before
the British or a complete cessation of the
Verdun operation, or both, because the

fensive position. But on the east bank of
the Bug they would be westward Of Lem
berg. If at the same time they had sue
ceeded in pushing westward along the
Dniester beyond Stanisau they would
threaten Lemberg from the south-that is,
by double envelopment-and reproduce
the situation of 1914, when the Austrian
armies fighting in a wide semi-circle before
the Galician capital were outhanked to the
north and south and forced to retire, in
disorder that became rout, upon the San
and Przemysl, thus abandoning more than
half of Galicia.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-25

that the offensive will still belong to the
Slav and not to the Teuton.
The best way to explain the present
in its widest possibilities is to
turn TO the great German offensive of last
summer That began by far smaller i'm
mediate and local victory than the Rus
slams have already achieved. Mackensen
at the Dunajec broke the Russian line on
a front of less than twenty miles, origi-
nally. Through this gap he poured huge
forces, just as the Russians are pouring
huge forces through the two great gaps
that they have cut in the Austrian lines.
The Russians then began to draw back
their troops on both sides of the break and
to make a stand at the San
River.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-25
consolidate a new position from Kovel to
the Gnla Lipa and save Lemberg and the
northern front.
When Lemberg Fell.

Forced to leave the San, the Russians
went back TO the Grodek Lake line before
Lemberg; but again they were unable to
make long stay here and were obliged
to retreat again until they stood behind
the Sereth, and having lost Dubno and
Lutsk, reached the lines that they subsc-
1uently held until the present operation.
But this retirement uncovered the centre
in Poland, and it was compelled to retreat
first from Warsaw and then from Brest
Litovsk. If the Russians are able TO turn
the Austro-G German forces out Of Kovel
and Lemberg, the parallel will be patent
and the results will be felt along the
whole German front.
Here you have plain evidence of the
consequences of a successful breaking OF
trench lines on a wide front and at two
separated points. The situation in the
west would have been similar if last Sep

Russia is again getting it. She also wants
Pennsylvania, and Russia can again offer
it to her as the price Of coming in and

The Two Breaks in the Austrian Dixie
and What May Flow Through-If
Germans Hold the Lne-The
Russian Hopes of
Wide Retirement.
By FRANK H. SIMONDS,
Author Of The Great Var

One week ago I analysed in detail the
earlier phases of the great Russian advance
between the Pripet marshes and the Ru-
ranian frontier. Since that time the ad-
vance of the Slav, materially slackened,
has still gone forward. At the moment he
has taken Czernowitz and is approaching
Kovel, which are at the opposite ends Of
chs great southeastern front. In the CEN
ire he has reached the frontier at Brody,
but has been held up little west Of Tar
nopol.
II is plain that the situation in the Cali
clan and Volhynian regions is now APP
preaching a crisis which must involve the
safety Of the whole front of the Central
Powers from the Gulf of Riga to the Ru-
manian frontier. 1t is this crisis that
mean TO discuss in the present article. /
do not desire to be understood as forecast
ing that the things that have now become
possible will happen; what desire to do is
TO describe what is now possible if the
Russians are not checked, recognizing fully
that the check may come at once or before
many days.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-25
On the Map.

Turning first to the map, it is now plain
what has happened. When the recent at
tack began the eastern front followed the
Dwina River from the outskirts of the city
Of Riga, speaking very roughly here, to the
city of Dvinsk approximately an east and
west front; then it turned sharply south
and ran pretty nearly straight through
Pinsk, which the Germans held, through
the Pripet marshes, along the Styr River,
east of Lutsk and Dubno, which were Aus
trian, along the Sereth River just west of
Tarnopol, which was Russian, to the Dnies-
ter River, and thence to the Pruth River
lust west of the Russian frontier.
Now, from the Gulf Of Riga to the Pripet
marshes and TO the southern border of this
swamp the line still stands, but a little
south Of the marshes begins very wide,
deep curve which the Russians have driven
westward.
This curve amounts to a semi-circle,
drawn about Dubno, with a radius of per
haps thirty-fve miles, which represents
the extreme penetration of the Russian
into the Austrian front. Going south
again there is a second semi-circle of per
haps twenty-five miles radius, from the
point where the Dniester reaches the Rus
sian frontier. As the northern curve ex-
tends toward Kovel and vladimir Wolyn-
ski, the southern passes southwest of Ger
nowitz and is approaching Kolomea.
These two semi-circles, to use the mill
tary parlance, are the wedges which the
Russians have driven into the Austrian
lines, after having successfully broken the
trench front which was in their immediate
front. The war in these sectors has thus
become a war Of movement as contrasted
with the trench operation. To use famil-
lar figure, these two circles represent
breaks in the dixie the Central Powers had
erected against the Slavonic flood; through
these breaks the Russian waters are now
sweeping and extending not only west
ward but tending to swirl round the ends
Of the dixie and expand north and south in
the fashion of fan.

n the Drive Continues.

Now. if this rush continues long it is
clear that the centre of the Austrians, still
standing relatively firmly before Tarnopol
and covering the railroad to Lemberg, will
have TO draw back to avoid being envel-
oped on both its fanks by the Russian
hosts pouring through the breaks in the
dixie TO the west of Lutsk and to the north
Of Kolomea.
Exactly what happens when there is a
break in a Mississippi levee is now taking
place along the eastern front. The Ger
mans and Austrians are trying to build a
temporary dixie behind the breaks and to
circumscribe the area Of inundation. Thus
we hear Of very great concentrations Of
troops taking place behind the line that
was broken and in front of Kovel and
Vladimir Wolynski. Similarly, Vienna re-

ports new stand between the Dniester
and the Pruth west of Czernowitz.
If these temporary dikes can be raised
in time we shall soon see a retirement Of
the Austrian centre from the front of Tar
nopol behind the Zlots Lipa or the Gnila
Lipa; that is, to a position half way be-
tween the cities of Tarnopol and Lemberg.
The new front will then extend from the
Pripet marshes southwark to Kovel and
thence to vladimir Wolynski, thence south
ward west of the Gnila Lipa to the Dnies-
ter and thence east of Kolomea to the Car
pathians.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-25

slty TO renew very frequently the relative
ly small army making the great attack.
1t is a perfectly safe conjecture that
any reduction of the German electives be-
fore the British below the safety point
will be followed by the same sort of at
tack that struck the Austrians in Galicia
and Volhynia when they had sent their
reserves to Italy and the Germans had
drawn out their "stiffenlng' corps for use
in the west.
Conceivably, Germany has free reserves
sufficient to meet the eastern situation
without making any considerable draft
upon her western armies. This is UNI
likely, but it is entirely possible. In that
case the British are unlikely to move until
more favorable moment comes. Other
wise we may be on the eve Of decisive
events in the west
Italian fnaetion.
Meantime the Austrians have moved
troops away from the Trentino front and
the Italians are again on the offensive and
have regained a little of their lost terri
tory. Further reductions Of Austrian
armies on this front will certainly lead
to more aggressive action on the part Of
the Italians along the Isonzo, for if the
war is entering into decisive stage Italy
has still to demonstrate her claim to what
she expects TO get if the Allies win. Moth
ing is less likely than that Russia, France
or Britain will refuse to make peace
otherwise satisfactory II Italy has still
failed to get Trieste or Dalmatia.
Finally, there is patent stir in the Bal
kans If the Germans and Austrians arc
compelled to draw their troops out Of Bull
garia it Is certain that there will be
thrust from Salonica in overwhelming
numbers which may put Bulgaria out OF
the war in brief campaign and cut the
life line that binds Turkey 10 the Central
Powers. The value Of Salonica is now
becoming patent and the real extent Of
the menace of the Allied army here is un-
mistakable.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-25

the German armies between the two points
would have been compelled TO draw back
to avoid development, and the western
front might have been carried back At
least to the French frontier from the
Meuse to the Scheldt.
In the Next Few Days.
In the next few days the important
thing to watch Is the situation Of the two
tanks Of the Austrian armies from Pripet
10 the Carpathians. II the Russians get
Kovel. then it Is clear that the whole
eastern front will be compromised and
the Germans will have to draw in to TIE
Bug. IL the Russians get round to tire
south of Lemberg, then the Austrian line
will have to retire TO the San, surrender
ing all of Eastern Galicia and most Of
Bukovins once more.
Meantime the Germans are sending new
masses Of troops down the railroad from
Brest-Litovsk to Kovel to attack the north
ern flank of the advancing Russians; they
are sending troops east along the Lublir-
Kovel railroad for the same purpose, and
they are making a concentration at
Vladimir Wolynsk, south Of Kovel and
considerably east of the Bug. Away to
the south the Austrians are making new
concentration east of Stansau, between
the Dniester and the Carpathians. Final
ly, they are successfully holding back the
Russian centre west of the Sereth, al
though there are clear evidences that they
will very soon have to go back behind the
Zlota Lipa and probably ultimately be-
hind the Gnila Lipa.

The Russian Hope.

So much for the German and Austrian
plan, which is to limit the Russian mum
daton by building a dixie behind the
breaks and holding on at the centre be-
tween the two breaks until the new line
is prepared. Now, turning to the Russian
purpose, what is the maximum of posi-
bility here?
At the moment the main detectives of
the Russians are the two towns of Kovel
and Stanislau, north and southeast of
Lemberg. They are sweeping forward on
both TANKS with the purpose to envelop the
centre and compel the retirement of the
Germans and Austrians from Lemberg.
In this they are exactly following Their
successful campaign of August and Sep
tember, 1914.
If the Russians can get to Kovel and
they are not more than twenty miles FROM
it now. they will obtain the most impor-
tant railroad junction along their southern
front, the point of intersection between
lines from Lublin and Kiev and Rowno
and Brest- Litovsk; their northern flank
will then be protected by the Pripet
marshes, they will command the railroads
down which the Germans could serd
troops to take them in the flank and they
will be at least hundred miles west of the
present German position at Pinsk and IN
position to attack the German flank and
rear from the Pripet marshes to the
Dwina.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-25
The Possible Check.

Granted that this thing takes place, and
1t is the thing that the Austrians and Ger
mans are moving heaven and earth to
bring about, the new front of the Central
Powers will follow the old from the Bal
tic to the Pripet marshes; thence it will
curve markedly inward toward Kovel;
thence it will run straight again to the
Carpathians.
If this takes place we shall then see
the check of the Russian offensive. AS a
result of this drive the Russians will have
taken some 100000 prisoners and an enor-
nous mass of guns and munition; they
will have cleared the Austrians out of sew
eral thousand square miles of Russian ter
ritory and conquered several more thou
sands in the Austrian provinces Of Galicia
and Bukowina, but they will not have
shaken the whole of the Austro- German
front in the east, and they will not have
compelled any considerable withdrawal on
the part Of the Germans between Pinsk
and the environs of Riga. In other words,
the Russians will have won a great local
victory, but they will not have repeated
the success Of the Germans last summer,
when they were able to turn their victory
at the Dunajec into an advance for sew
eral hundreds Of miles along the whole
eastern front,

A German Retirement.

This would inevitably compel the Ger
mans 70 draw back on all their eastern
front, now extending from Pinsk to the
environs of Riga it would mean the sur
render of all the Russian territory that
has been occupied, save only Russian Po-
land and possibly portion of the COur-
land. II would mean a retirement to the
line of the Nemen and the Bug. Russia
would by a single blow recover more than
half of what she lost last summer.
Turning south, the situation would be
this: Having taken Kovel, the Russians
would be able to push westward TO the
Bug, which offers the next strongest de-
