LONDON, July 19.-The Teutonic armies on the eastern front have commenced a general retreat ae. cording to dispatches received from Pertograd today.

 LONDON. July 1S.- While no offic- ial confirmation has been received except from Petrograd. 1t is believed that the Germans and Austrians have commenced general retreat.
 The official admission made by the Germans yesterday that Gen. LinZen- gems army had fallen back before the assaults of Gen Bruslloff in the Lutsk sector and that Gen. Von Hin denburg on the Dvina has failed to push back the army Of Gen Kuro- patkin and also the latest advices from that sector, indicate that the Russians were on a great offensive move.
 Further south General Evert was pressing strongly against the terrain held by Prince Leopold while below Lutsk and the Pripet marshes the Russian generals Kaledines and Let chitsky have had sufficien. time to complete their announced regrouping of their amies for what is admitted 10 be an assault Of the greatest mo- ment with Lemberg as the objective point That this advance has actual iy begun Is apparent The Russians have actually entered Firing, Hun gary. and taking a small town in Royno Pass.
 There has been no claim from Der lin or Vienna that the Russian drive has been definitely checked in any part of the eastern front.

economic conditions i'll this country? We
shall get some light upon the problem by
studying the effects of other great war
periods. Only twice in the nineteenth
century did Europe undergo experiences
comparable to the present cataclysm.
The Napoleonic Wars, extending from
1907 to 1915, essentially duplicated the
present European situation. The period
from 1864 to 1870, though not so con-
elusive as that in which we are now
living, was a time of great wars. In that
period Germany fought the three great
campaigns that against Denmark in
1864, that against Austria in 1866, and
that against France in 1S7O-that made
her an empire. What then were the reac-
tlons of these two struggles, so far as
peopling tho United States is concerned?
The Napolconic Wars, while they were
being fought, We're a time of prosperity
for England. Her position then was not
unlike ours at tho present time. AS Eng
land was not invaded, English agriculture
largely fed tho European armies; Trafal-
gar gave her the mastery of the seas and
established her as tho great carrying
nation. AS industrial enterprise could
not thrive on thedcvastatedC dContinent,-
any more than it can thrive in Poland to-
day,-England secured her position as the
worlds greatest workshop.
This Napoleonic prosperity blinded the
eyes of politicians and people. Every one
thought that it was permanent; that the
cessation of war, far from stemming it,
would make the nation even more pros
porous. In tho last two or three years of
the war peace and Plenty" became the
great popular Slogan"
The period that followed Waterloo,
however, gave Englishmen a rude re-
awakening. 1t ushered in one of the
greatest industrial and social crises in
English history. Tho Continent began
cultivating its own acres and feeding
itself. Thousands of agricultural laborers,
who had been fighting in the war, returned
to their peaceful cmployments. Shipping
In the United States grew at such a rapid
pace that the old-time colonies proved a
close second as u carrying nation, and
even threatened to displace the old coun-
try. Continental manufacturing plants
began producing the things that, in war;
time, they had been obliged to buy from
England.
This great falling off in agriculture and
industry, combined with the huge war
debt, Immediately plunged the United
Kingdom into great industrial distress.
There was a lcsscncd demand for labor,
and prices everywhere fell. The Irish
