fensives. would certainly not be dis
advantageous to the Russians. In
practical effect, it would be little
more than a continuation of the mill
tary policy that became operative in
Russia some time before the outbreak
of the revolution.

moves on its stomach has nowhere
been better DEMONSTRATED than at

Russian troops cannot be properly
fed 1t il idle to expect satisfactory
work Of them. The cxar couldn't

able to do any better.
The possibility exits, however. that
