COLLAPSE OF RUSSIA MEANS
HURRY-UP ORDERS FOR U. S.
British General Says America Must
Come In at Once and In All Posi-
Bic Force to Save Day For the Allies

objective line depends mainly upon
the range of the artillery. The at
tacks must be patient and method
cal. In this way we can gain ground
and inflict heavy losses on the enern!
without heavy losses to ourselves.
That is the system We used at Arras
and at Messines and. the one now be-
Ing used in Flanders. .
"In this weeks battle we cooperated
with the French. There were about
six times as many British troops as
French soldiers. OF the British. four
fifths were purely English and one,
fss.sh Amaze australians and New
Zealanders), Welsh and Scotch. No
Irish or Canadian tr ops participated.
War Lengthens
$The events OF the last two weeks
on the Russian front have been q
great disappointment to us. II the
collapse spreads much further we
shall begin to see what military men
call strategic results necessitatine
Withdrawals over large areas. The
Russian collapse unquestionably
means the lengthening of the war. '
"If the Russians had been able to
bring pressure to bear promptly in
conjunction with our offensive on the
west front it is possible that the end
OF the war would soon have been In
sight. The most we now can hope for
Is that they viii be able to get to.
gether, reorganize and hold their own.
We cannot depend on Russia for any
effective offensive assistance in big
war plans for some time. This throws
q new burden of responsibility on the
other Allies and on the United

of the past fortnight in Russia" said
Major-General Frederick B. Maurice,
chief director Of military operations
at the war office, in his weekly talk
today to the Associated Press. ut wiz
necessarily mean prolongation OF the
war. We cannot longer count on any
great material assistance from Rus
sia. This means a greater burden on
the other Entente Allies, and for the
United States II means that she must
come into the field as soon as posi-
bic and with the greatest possible
force.
General Maurice continued:
.sThis week the battle or Flanders
was an entire success. General Sir
Douglas Haig fixed definite line OF
objective, and, speaking generally, he
attained Il. On the southern third OF
the front he attacked and gained his
objective easily. On the northern
third the enemy's resistance broke
down SO completely that General Haig
felt justified In permitting his troops
to 20 well beyond the objective. IN
the central third we fell little short
OF the objective owing to stubborn
enemy resistance"
General Maurice said that the Brit.
fish commanders next move was TO
determine another objective. and then,
after the customary process Of prep
araticn, to proceed similarly to
achieve Il.

Mime. LAMBERT, TEACHER Of MUSIC
Piano. Organ. String Instruments.

Her method of many years. study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
Justly be named "Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
autely required. What is the secret
of advancement in both vocal and in
strumental music? Think and be pre-
pared ahead means business on both
sides.
Language and elocution.

By Captain GEORGE L. KILr1ER.

ASSASSINATION ON June 20,
1914, of the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, heir to the throne,
quickly resulted in the outbreak of g
world war. When Austria-H Hungary
pressed her demands upon Servia for
reparation Russia championed the lit
tie Slav nation. Germany declared
that her Austro-Hungarian ally must
have a free hand" In dealing with
Seryia, and the storm broke.
The first two years of the war, from
August, 1914, to August, 1916, were
marked by the subjugation Of nearly
all of Belgium, part of northern France,
all of Servia and tile greater part of
Russian Poland by the German armies.
Russia conquered and then lost a large
slice of Austrian territory in Galicia.
Following the invasion of Belgium in
August, 1914, Great Britain and France
entered the war as the allies of Russia.
The German march toward Paris,
through Belgium and France, was eff
%fectually checked at the river Marine
early in September, 1914, and in the
weeks following the opposing lines in
France and Belgium were established
practically where they remained for the
next two years.
Italy entered the war in May, 1915,
and attacked Austria by land, east and
northeast of Venice. The first year of
the war saw the fall of Warsaw and
the extension of the German front to
the Dvina river, midway between War
saw and Petrograd. In 1915, the Sec
ond year of the war, the Germans at
tackled with great force the French for
tress of Verdun, but were unable to re-
duce it. This event was followed by a
concerted drive by the French and Brit
ish in northern France against the Ger
man lines along the Ancre and Somme
rivers.
Throughout the first two years vari-
Gus local campaigns were inaugurated
by the allies, notably for the capture
of Constantinople Ghe Turks having
Joined the Teutonic powers late In
1910, with an expedition in Mesopo-
tamia to support it. The against
the Turkish capital failed, and the
lOlttS Wtle Liulolclled " bAcCNC "
operate against the central powers in
the Balkans, where the Bulgarians
were fighting for Germany.
The greatest naval battle of the war,
fought off Jutland in May, 1917, was
g. draw, and the large vessels have not
taken decisive part in the progress Of
the war. In 1915 Germany started a
system of drastic submarine warfare,
primarily intended to blockade the
ports of her foes. Belligerent and neu-
trail alike were made to suffer in the
submarine zones throughout 1915 and
1916, and an indirect result of Ger.
many's naval policy was the entrance
of the United States into the war.
Grounds For Allies Optimism.
