Last year when Russia made her
great and successful offensive from the
Pripet marshes to the Dniester and
captured and destroyed vast Austrian
forces. the judgment of the preceding
year was seemingly confirmed and the
failure of the German campaign OF
1915 seemed established. But subse-
auent events have changed that 1udg-
ment We see now that the effect OF
Russian defeats in 1915 was to shake
the whole structure of the Russian en-
pire. Autocracy took alarm and sought
to make terms with the enemy, thus be-
traying Russia. Then the Russian lead
ers. the men of the duma, joined hands
with the revolutioniStS and the Roman
off car fell But thereafter came an
archy and the almost total disorgan-
ization of Russian military strength.
Cause of Russia's Failure.
AS a result Russia has failed in this
critical year to play part IN the allleo
campaign and we have had to recog-
nize the possibility that Russian par
ticipation is over. Accordingly, the
events of 1915 take a new value. We
see that the empire was actually ruined
at the Dunajec, as the Napoleonic edi-
flee was ruined at Leipzig. We see
that German purpose was accomplished
at least temporarily, perhaps perma-
nently, and Russia for long period
eliminated from the war. Measured by
its consequences, the Dunajec is thus
established as one of the great battles
of human history, one OF the few de-
cisive battles.
Accordingly, I have thought it worth
while at this time to review this great
struggle as I reviewed the Marine q
year ago For. the Marne, the Dunajec
and Verdun are the three great struS
giles of the world war to the present
moment, and, unlike the two struggles
on French territory. the Dunajec is lit
tie known to American readers.
Germans Attack in Force.

army. under Field Marshal Won Mack

siye which was not to end until Ger
man armies had penetrated deeply into
Russian territory. taken Warsaw ant
Brest-Litovsk and temporarily para

The conditions under which this bat
tie was fought are simply told. From
the battle of LemberS onward Ger

up the shaken Austrian armies. She
had endeavored by one costly offensive

nothing concrete or acceptable to en-

Germany. and the German peace propa- :

to reconcile the conflicting interests
within the German empire.
In her reply Germany agrees with
such principles advanced by the Pope
as the freedom of the seas. interna-
tional tribunal for compulsory arbitra-
tion, and guarantees for the perpetua-
all nations in future years. There can
be no division on these questions be-
tween the respective groups OF bellig-
erents. Though it was reported that
Germany. in a large measure, has based
her reply on the reichstag peace reso-
luton demanding an early end to the
struggle without indemnities and an
nexations. all reference to these things
are CLOSED over. possibly sufficiently to
appease the reichstag elements oppos-

certainty that Germany would make no

done so her proposals will be fatty
rejected by the entente powers as well
as the United States. Even suggestions
, that these questions be left to the peace
council itself and not acceptable to the
entente powers.

None of these efforts had been COM
plete success, or yet a total failure. The
victories of Hindenburg at Tannen-
berg and the Masurian lakes had taken
a terrible toll of Russian troops. Rus
sia won victories over the Austrians at
Lemberg and afterward just missed
dealing the final blow to the Hapsburs
armies because of German aid prompt
ly given and efficiently administered.
Forced to Change Tactics.
But long before spring came the Ger
mans had recognized that it was no
longer possible to save Austria by Of
fensives directed from Breslau, Posen
or East Prussia upon Warsaw. They
had perceived, too, that il was not
going to be possible to renew their
bid for a decision in the west until
they had settled with Russia by in
fiicting a sweeping and complete de-
feat upon the cars armies. which
should eliminate them from the reck-
oning and might procure separate
peace by producing such a revolution
within Russia as would dispose of the
Slav enemy for the duration of the
war. At the least, they were now de-
termined to drive the Russian armies
from Austrian territory and SO disor-
ganize their military establishment as
to gain time and opportunity to go
west again.
Having resolved that their major
campaign for 1918 should be made in
the east, the Germans had to decide
at what point they would make their
main offensive The failures along the
-Narew-Bo line from Grodno
to the Eistula, the bloody repulses on
the Bzura-Rawka front. had exhausted
the possibilities on the north and in
the center. Despite all efforts. these
attacks had been repulsed and Russian
pressure upon Austria had continued
Nor was there more shining oppor-
tunity to be found far to the south on

here was still to permit the Russian

to continue. Equally unattractive was

The decision of the Germans was
therefore, for the front between the
Carpathians and the Nistula, where the
Russian line. having made the grea;
"elbow" west of the Dukla pass. ran
straight to the north. Could they break
the Russian line here the Germans
would threaten the rear and communi-
cations of the armies fighting along the
Carpathians, particularly that of Brush
loft. Here they might hope to achieve
as they did in fact almost achieve, an

vbeneyer entente commanders decide
they wish to move forward. Haig's
forces have extended their front to a
mile in depth over line of ten in the

the Germans apparently were unable
to tell Just where the blow would fall
The region to the east of Ypres was
considered impregnable by the Ger

stubborn obstacle to Haig's men. Not
