RUSSIAN DEFENSE OF
NATIONS CAPITAL IS
BECOMING STRONGER
This Is Taken As Evidence
That Spirit Of People Is
Not Entirely Crushed
By J. w. T. Mason

written for the United Press)
New York, Feb. 27.-The increasing
resistance by the Russians against the
German attempt to capture Petrograd,
whether Immediately successful or not,
is reestablishing respect for discipline
among the Russian people.
This is more important even than the
salvation of the capital. If Petrograd IS
fall is necessary as a final demonstra.
tion. that discipline alone is required to
save the revolution, then the price will
be cheap. The saving of the great stores
of munitions near Pskoff reported today
in United Press Petrograd dispatches, is
very important, not SO much because of
the value of the munitions, but because
it demonstrates, the presence of real mil
itary leadership among the revolution
airy soldirs.
Hitherto, during the German advances
the Russians have made no effort to
save anything Disorganization has been
complete. The Pskoff incident reveals
that the spirit of panic is vanishing
and the Russians are recovering some
of their morale. 1t requires large organ
1zlng AFFINITY ana Willingness to re-
spond to orders to remove such exten-
sive war supplies as were stored in the
Pskoff area. Transportation difficulties
have given the greatest trouble to the
Bolsheviki civil regime, but the military
leaders of the revolution are showing
a new ability in this direction.
Won Hindenburg is now in serious
quandary because of the increasing
prowess Of the revolutionary army.
There is no longer any question but
that the active force at Won linden
burg's disposal for the capture of Pet
rograd is comparatively very small. If
he presses onward he is lengthening the
Nunications of his expeditionary
force to the danger point. If a strong
Russian rally were to take place near
Petrograd, the German detachments
might be cut to pieces or compelled to
end in disastrous retreat.

Germans have been hurled back at

(Vitesk is the capital of the PROV
1nee Of that name, 800 miles south of
Petrograd Orsha is an important rail-
way junction on the Dnieper river 80
miles south of Vitebsk and Al miles
north of Mohileff)
After fortifying Borissoff ESQ miles
west of Orsha and 33 miles northeast
.of Minslx), the Germans advanced to-
ward Orsha. Russian forces made a
sortie and beat the Germans back, l8
miles out from the city.
! Then, retiring upon the city, the
Russians blew up a bridge over the
Beresseina, where Napoleon suffered
heavy losses in November, 1912, and
began an orderly evacuation.
Germans seeking to occupy Vitebsk,
where the first mobilization for the
defense of Petrograd occurred, were
thrown back.
Germans are organizing detachmenta
of Ukrainian prisoners at Rovno (in
Volhynia.)
The battle for possession of Pskoff
(162 miles southwest Of Petrograd,)
which continued all night, ended in .
Russian victory The Russians have
succeeded in removing most Of the
vast store of supplies there (valued at
four hundred million rubles) into the
interior.
The commissariat had admitted that
Reval Capital Of Esthonia, situated
on an arm of the Gulf of Riga, 200
miles west of Petrograd) was captured
after battle in which sailors and red
guards contested every step.
The Germans surrounded the city in
the evening. They approached within
seven versts (4.62 miles) and sent rep
resentatives forward. These declared
that in view Of Esthonia s independ-
ence they were coming as guests The
refused to accept that at
titude and the battle ensued.
Enthusiasm for the defense Of the
revolution grows hourly. There is a
constant stream of armed men leaving

proletariats have enrolled.
The staff at Luga (l00 miles south
of Petrograd on the Riga Petrograd

he was playing game. This game
according to the general view, was to
try to foster pacifist spirit within the
allied nations and to try to cause a
split in them.
There is much camouflage about his
remarks anent Belgium, about self de-
termination and about German war
aims, according to the thought here.
The disposition of the Russian prob.
lem is considered particularly adroit
maneuver.
The chancellor 8 statement anent
Germany 8 war Of 'defense" are re.
garded here as threadbare sophistries
which in the light of German atroci-
ties appear ludicrious.
Count .Czernin, however, may adopt
a different tone, as he has in the past.
While the Austrians are so linked to
Germany by debt that break is diff
ficult, Austria s. yearning for peace is
such that the president believes a po-
litical offensive should be continued
there just as long as any chance Of q
separate peace is possible.
