work broken off last year-the work OF
taking Lemberg. When that work came
to an abrupt close last year the Russians
had succeeded in throwing the Austro-
Germans out of half Of their line along
the Zlota Lipa, and the general view of
military observers was that the balance
had become untenable, given a renewal of
the furious attacks of preceding weeks.
This may explain the selection Of this
front by the Russians as the point at
which to begin operations. Here, conceiv-
ABLY. there is more chance of making prog
ress that will be visible on the map at
once than at any other point. A real adj
vance would have an enormous moral effect
both at home and abroad. But as late as
July 9 there was no evidence that the Aus
tro- Germans would be compelled to retire,
despite the Russian attacks, and Russian
bulletins disclosed the capture Of no posi-
tons or towns of real Importance.
Before leaving the military side there
is one other consideration I desire to en-
phasize. We do know that there has been
DISCRIMINATION in the Russian army, but
we also know that there has been disor-
eanization in the Austrian army. We
know that all previous Russian attacks
have been followed by Austrian collspses

It is quite easy to understand the STU
alton if you place yourself, theoretically,
in Lemberg and turn your face eastward.
Twenty miles eastward is highland, out
If which flow two streams, the one north
70 the Baltic, the other south to the Black
Sea. At the point where they leave this
HIGHLAND the two streams are hardly hve
miles apart; together they constitute
barrier to Lemberg, line of water be-
hind which armies could stand with every
chance of success that ground could offer.
Now IL the Russians succeed in forcing
this natural barrier as they did in 1914, II
is exceedingly doubtful if Lembers could
y. defended. for the next natural line is
westward of the town.
Rut at no point have the Russians
reached this barrier. On the contrary
thew are still struggling to get over sec
ond natural line another twenty miles 10
the eastward, supplied by the Rivers Styr
and Zlota Lipa, which also rise IN the
v,,ersbed between the Baltic and the
R,ack Sea and flow in opposite directions

No Present Military Gain

But it is essential to recognize now that
retirement from Brzezany TO the Gniia
Lima would be Of no immediate military
consequence. Actually, the line OF the
emilia Lipa, which is prolonged by the
Bug River north Of the Lemberg-B rooy
railroad, would be retirement to the
strongest position from which to defend
Ienbery. Last year all military obserV-
crs expected that such a retirement would
ultimately take place when the regroup'ns
Of the armies Of the Central Powers was
completed. II did not take place because
the Rumanisn episode and the Russian
coIlaps. followed suddenly and left the
An.,ro- Germans free from pressure.

As | read these proofs there Is an
nounced a new Russian success south Of
the Dniester River and material advance
in the direction Of Halicz. It is too early
to say how important this advance is, but
it is plain from glance at the map that
successful advance by the Russians south
of the Dniester River to a point west Of
the Gnila Lipa River will in fact turn the
line Of the Gnila Lipa and the Bug, which
have already described.
The early reports of the present Rus
sian advance indicate that they have
reached the Lukwa River, but have not
passed it. Four or five miles west of the
Lukwa is the Lomnica River, TO which the
Germans and Austrians seem now to be,
retreating. This actually prolongs the
Gnla Lipa-Bug line from the Dniester
River to the Carpath;ans. Should the Rus
slams succeed in passing this river, then
they would be on the flank and rear Of all
the German and Austrian troops defending
Lemberg, and we may see collapse OF the
entire Austro-German front before Lem
berg fully analogous to that which followed
Brusilof's successful operation on this
same ground in the battles before Lemberg
in the opening days Of the Galician cam
paign Of 1914. The real test of the Rus
sian success in this new operation about
Halicz will be had when we discover
whether the Russians have been able to
pass the Lomnica River. II, as the Asso-
ciated Press bulletin announces, the
Austro-German line has actually been
broken. we may see some such success As
followed a similar breaking Of the Aus
TRAN line about Lutsk and Dubno last year.
which was the prelude to the great onrush
Of the Russians.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-15

Brzezany. 1t is only below this town that
they have forced the river crossings. but
between Brzezany and the Dniester the
Russians have driven in wedge that
brings them within sight of the city Of
Halicz and of the Gnila Lipa line.
In the next few days or weeks we may
see the Austro-Germans, under renewed
pressure. 90 back to the Gnla Lipa; they
NAV continue to hold the west bank of the
Styr or they may retire to the Bug, but
even so considerable withdrawal would
only mean retiring upon the position in
which they elected to defend Lemberg in
1914 and from which they were turned out
by superior forces and by movement
around their flank and south of the Dnies-
ter. Since they expected to make this re-
tirement last year and were only enabled
IN avoid il by the Russian collapse, We may
calculate that the Central Powers have
strongly fortified the Gnila Lipa line, and
we NAV look for desperate defence there.

THE NEW RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE IN GALICIA
f Russia Backs Her Utopian Ideas on
the Battlefield She, with the United
States, Will Dominate
Allied Councils
Copyripht 19l7-The Tribune Association

Europe the Allies may be beaten, with
Russia out; but if we do send armies our
voice must be heard and our influence
must be recognized. And it is worthy OF
note that in most respects the war aims
of this country and Revolutionary Russia
are near together.
Russia's Future Uncertain
1t is idle to speculate much about the
future so far as Russia is concerned We
may have a counter-revolution which will
place the extreme radical and pacifist ele-
ments in control and bring an immediate
peace. We may have triumph of the old
regime, with similar results. We may
lave the rise of wholly new military
dictatorship of the Napolconic type, which
may make Russia great peril rather than
a great aid to democracy, even though this
military dictatorship is founded upor ic-
tories achieved at German expense.
To-day we can only see that the return
of Russia to the battle line is an event Of
relatively minor military Importance,
given the present battle evidence, but Of
almost incalculable moral weight if it is
the authentic sign of settled Russian de-
termination to fight the war through. Rus
STA has not yet renewed the triumphs Of
1914 and 1916; she has not yet given
promise of such successes. She has merely
displayed will to fight, which, if main
tanned, must shorten the war, as it must
make much more patent to the world the
hopelessness Of the German position.
But in returning to the battle line Revo-
lutionary Russia has assumed role that
must not be mistaken. Her voice in the
making of peace after war will be COM
handing; we shall have different kind Of
peace than any we believed possible year
ago if Russia keeps on and holds to her
present principles.

First Results Have Only Minor Military
Value-The Moral Effect Upon
Disillusioned Germany
May Be Large
BY FRANK H. SIMONDS
Author of "The Great War;" "They Shall Not Pass"

Tho Russian offensive has two quite dis
,,c. aspects: the military, which remains
ill Of minor value, and the moral, which
.,v easily be Of the greatest Importance.
7, the present article mean to discuss
-, military and the moral aspects and
=, Indicate some of the possibilities that
,,s NAV perceive, now that Russia has
struck again.
A 10 the military aspect, it is neces-
.srv to say at the very outset that there
"a, been no repetition of the great sue
,.sses Of Brusiloff last year, either in the
,,rlv or late phases Of the Galician and
voIhvnian campaign. Measured by pris-
,r.rs captured and ground gained, the
Russian achievement still falls short of
ne French success Of last April, which is
,ow recognized to have been local and
without decisive or even satisfactory con-
sequences.
A year ago, beginning on June 5, the
Russian armies in Galicia and Volhynia
struck series of blows against the Aus
trisn armies which brought the latter near
10 complete destruction. With the first at
tax eastward of the .fortresses of Lutsk
and Dubno the Austrian line was pierced
in several places. In the early days many
Thousands of prisoners were taken, and
the ultimate consequence of the first sue
cess was a retreat from Dubno and Lutsk
10 the line of the Stokhod River, a retreat
Of more than forty miles in places and
ysrayery wide front.

appointment hereafter. The fact that
Russia has attacked when all attack by
the Slavs seemed unlikely has taken the
world by surprise, and the additional fact
that the Russians have gained ground and
taken prisoners serves to heighten the
impression that we are now to have one
more Russian sweep like that to and
through Lemberg in 1914 and toward
Kovel and Lemberg in 1916. We NAV
have it, but there is nothing in the first
movements to suggest that any such prog
ress is likely. 1t is a great thing that
Russia has attacked; it may easily be
that Russia's return to the charge will
be landmark in the history of the war,
but up to July 9 the attack itself has only
minor military value.
