RI SSIAN NEWSPAPER
TALKS ON THE WAR

/ FETROGRAD. Aug. 1S.--On the
occasion of the third anniversary of
the commencement of the war be-
tween Russia and Germany. the of
fetal newspaper. The Army and Fleet
of Free Russia, says no sign is visible
either of a military solution of the
situation or OF reconciliation be-
tween the opponents. Summarizing
the last twelve months events. the
newspaper states that the Ruman-
ian's defeat was the first undoubted
proof that victory by the allies was
ata;I.able only by interchangeable and
simultaneous operations on the front.
This lesson was taken to heart"
! the newspaper adds, land considering
Germany's failure in 1916 at Verdun
and on the SOmme and her defeats
by Gen. Brusilof. there seemed to be
an excellent prospect for decisive
success in 1917. The events follow
ing the Russian revolution are the
cause of the present disappointment.
THE enemy has not hesitated to
resort to any means which would en-
able him to take advantage of the
Russian soldiers and also their sus-
ceptibility to incitement by agitators.
the result OF which was the fraterniZ
/ ing between the trenches and serious
Russian defeats. The cause of the en-
tente has been saved from disaster
only through the herOism and self
sacrifice of Great Britain and France.
