The Advance Of RrusHOH.

\ week of ERvsILoFr has been ="
disastrous to the AuStrians on the
eastern front that the fall of Lem
berg now seems imminent. In the
first Galicinn campaign the Russian
General, who was not then In chief
command. moved so rapidly after the
frontier was crossed that the Aus
trians could nowhere make n stand
against him. and when his cavalry
swept round IN the west Of I.emberc
the whole Austrian line retreated In
n state of decentralization.
The Russian General is repeating
his success. In spite of the fact that
tho Austrians had the benefit of Ger
man skill In constructing formidable
defcnccs along their whole front. His
mobility is oven greater than before,
his attack more destructive, his cap

offensive In the first months Of tho
war. Operating m a 200 mile front

COL. RooSEvELTS FRIENDS

Turning Now From Moses to Joshua.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: !
was shocked to hear the news mat
Roosevelt had not received the Republic
can nomination. But | have peen
shocked before-when Fremont
Dayton were not elected In 1856. when
Lincoln was nominated in 1850 Instead
of William H.. Seward and again when
elaine was robbed of the Republican
domination because Of the allegation
that he was too strong n character n
would plunge the country into war.
Roosevelt. az the man who 80 htly
voiced the ideals and national attitude
o. the American people In this greatest
Cf historical crises of its united career,
won the reward If leader and headship.
But that reward has been snatched away.
When similarly the headship was re-
fused to Seward in 1860 and given to
Lincoln the many who were disappointed
lived to acknowledge the existence OF an
overruling Providence and now as
then the millions who share my disap-
rointment may also participate In the
JOY of the uncompromising words OF the
noble Hughes, who reveals himself not
merely az the jIrist buried In precedent
but as the clear headed progressive
leader, eager for action in every social.
national and international highway from
the heart Of the American people to the
hearts of every one Of the peoples Of
other lands who aspire for freedom OF
dew ,lopment and uncoerced existence.
So now we shall bury our fierce pre-
objections and turn from Moses TO
Joshua.
And while We do so. many of us sadly
n reluctantly. we pause to declare our
undiminished and unfaltering affection
for the man who In the midst OF a jar

brought about the leadership OF one who
embodies everything he stood for and
that We all stand for. SO we salute him
as the American Warwick. whose title
there is none TO dispute. II. as We pro-
pound. Roosevelt is our national Socra-
ties, Hughes is his worthy disciple. Plato.
As such we do not for one moment
deem the master so lacking In broad
patriotism as to be envious of his re-

And while We draw to our hearts viii
