Suggests Demoralized Austrians.

There is nothing yet to indicate that
the Geymans and Austrians will not
succeed in erecting their new dixie;
that is, nothing convincing. But the
huge number of Austrians who have
been captured, the great loss of artil-
lery and munitions and the relatively
rapid rate of Russian advance all sug :
gest that there is Generalization in
the Austrian armies far greater than
that in the Russian after the Dunajec
last year and comparable to the Aus
trian debacle in 1914. which could not
ba checked until the Austrians were
driven across the Carpathians and in
upon the outer forts of Cracow.
Yesterday there was significantly
pessimistic comment reported as pub
lished in German newspaper which
was interpreted as. designed to prepare
Teutonic public opinion. for new re-
treats. But it is not wise to lay too
much stress upon such details. The
German reinforcementS seem to be get

decisive point. although there is not
yet any evidence of definitive check
The really important thing that every
one can see is that the Russians have

see what they may accomplish. We

The Russian Hope.

So much for the German and Austrian
plan. which is to limit the Russian in

breaks and holding on at the center be-
tween the two breaks until the new
line is prepared. Now, turning to the
Russian purpose. what is the maximum
Of possibility here?
AT the moment the main detectives of
the Russians are the two towns of ko-
vel and Stanislau, north and southeast
Of Lemberg. They are sweeping for
ward on both tanks with the purpose
to envelope the center and compel the
retirement of the Germans and Austri-

What to Watch.

In the next few days the important
thing to watch is the situation of the
two TANKS of the Austrian armies from
Pripet to the Carpathians If the Rus
slams get kovel, then it is clear that
the whole eastern front viii be COM
promised and the Germans will have to
draw in to the Bug. If the Russians
get round to the south of Lemberg,
then the Austrian line will have to re-
tire to the san, surrendering all of
Eastern Galicia and most of Bukovina
once more.
Meantime the Germans are sending
new masses of troops down the railroad
from Brest- Litovsk to Kovel to attack
the northern flank of the advancing
Russians: they are sending troops east
along the Lubln- Kovel railroad for
the same purpose, and they are making
a concentration at vladimir Wolynski,
south of kovel and considerably east
of the Bug. Away to the south the
AuStrians are making a new concen-
tration east of Stanislau. between the
Dniester and the Carpathians. Finally,
they are successfully holding back the
Russian center 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 I'LL
timately behind the emilia Lipa.

Return of M. Venizelos to Power
Foreshadowed by Compliance to

BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

The swarthy sons of Arabia on their
beloved sun-swept plains have provoked
d new phase to the drama of struggling
nations These sons and disciples OF
the great prophet Mahomet, these pro-
tectors of his laws, the guardians OF
his shrines which for centuries have
been the magnet for the Mohammedan
world. are rising to deliver telling
rebuke to what they consider be-
travail of the trust assumed many
decades ago by the Ottoman empire
a trust which may be described as a
protectorate over the weaker Mo-
hammedan countries of the eastern re-
gions.
The Arab revolters have seized the
holy city of Mecca, the birthplace of
the great prophet, whose teachings
from almost time immemorial have
been their laws, their counsel Their
great seaport of Jiddah has been
wrested from the control of an al
legged traitorous people. TAFT has fallen
before their impetuosity and determin-
ed fighting. Medina, where is located
the tomb of Mahomet, is closely be-
sieged and throughout the hole
Arabian country the spirit of revolt
against Turkish domination is said
to have swept on and on until today
it has assumed proportions of far
reaching character, the exact scope of
which may not be determined until
after the present great war in Europe
and Asia, when territorial adjustments
take place.
