IN TO do her bit" was expected here
today. Petrograd dispatches detail
ed no abatement In the Galician at.
tack today, with General Brusilofrs
troops, fired with their initial sue
cesses, continuing TO gain ground.
Back In the winter the allied plans
had called for synchronous often
sive campaign in the spring. TO be
waged on the western, northern.
italian and Macedonian fronts. The
Hindenburg strategic retreat" on
the western front fastened the Brit
ish and French attack. Then came
the Russian revolution and total In
action OF the Russian troops. Italy
started her offensive on time and In
Macedonia Gen. Serial began a d.
version in powerful force. Germany
was busy defending her lines on
every front except Russia. And be
cause she waged a clever campaign
of determination and OF separate
peace on the Russian front, Ger
many was able 10 weather the offen-
sives. II Russia had done her part
then. Germany might have been
compelled 10 relinquish great tracts.
for sheer lack OF men and OF muni-
tions 10 fight simultaneously all her
attackers.
From now on, military experts
pointed out today. Germany cannot
weaken her Russian lines TO stiffen
up yielding sections on other fronts,
as she has done. She must guard
against penetration on every side.
But what was Of vastly greater
satisfaction here than the mere fact
that Russia has started an offensive,
was the realization that this time
II is an army imbued with full
knowledge of the principles of de-
mocracy for which the Allies are
hghting that is participating for Rus
sia. II is no longer an army TO be
disposed of according to the whims
of an imperial autocrat. Every man
in the ranks now knows exactly what
he Is hghting for, realizes Russia
must win to hold her freedom and
can be counted on, for this reason,
AS trebly effective in fighting.
