I On the Russian side there were only i a few cavalry divisions and rifle bri- gades in the broad bend of the Vistula l open to the west These had not been 1 able to prevent the German covering 1 frontier corce from taking up positions

 ance to the Austrian army on the eaS t l side of the river before the latter's de- l feat.
 l PAYS TRIBUTE TO SIBERIANS ] The main hody of the Russian armies i was still to the east with weak forces 1 on the west bank of the San. The
 groups which had been defeated inSEast t i Prussia were behind the upper Narew and the Niemen The Siberian army ] corps had not all arrived on the west 1 ern frontier of Russia. Some of them l were still on the way. They were par l ticularly good and gave us a great deal ] of trouble.
 l AS regards prospective operations it was to be expected that the Russians would pursue the Austrian army. in spite of all the difficulties an advance involved. The space south of the Sam domir-Cracow stretch of the Vistula was indeed much too narrow for the Russians. An. invasion of Hungary was out of the question for them at that time as they ran the risk of being de- feated north of the Carpathians It could be taken for granted that the Russians would also advance below the confluence of the San; in what strength
 and on what extent of front depended Essentially on whether they knew of the new German endorsements and how they had taken their defeat in East Prussia
 As matter of fact, the pursuit by the Russians across the San and the investment of Pszemysl were under taken by weak forces only. In the first
 place, they temporarily reinforced their
 troops on the Niemen. Immediately aft erwards, however, when they realized
 the significance of the German advance.
 all their forces,' including the newly
 arrived Siberian army corps, were em-
 ployed for powerful advance over the
 Vlstula on wide front from Warsaw
 to the confluence of the San. The move
 ment was in course of development
 during our discussions at Neu Sandec.

 We had to prepare for the imminent
 advance of the Russians across the San and north of the upper Vistula. In
 order to meet this, and bearing in mind
 the possibility of flanking movement from Warsaw, it seemed advisable to bring part of the Austrian army, which

KING GEORGES MESSAGE

King George sent the following, letter to Lord Robert Cecil:
 We have won the war This is a great achievement; but it is not enough. We fought to gain lasting peace and 1t is our supreme duty to take every measure to secure it.
 For that nothing is more essential than strong and enduring league of nations. Every day makes this clearer. The covenant of Paris is good founda ton. The nature and strength of the structure to build upon this must de- pend upon the earnestness and sincerity of popular support.
 Millions of British men and women. poignantly conscious of the ruin and suffering caused by the brutal havoc of war. stand ready to help if only they are shown the way In the knowledge of what already has been done, appreciation of the difficulties winch lie before us and determina tlon to overcome them-these we must spare no efforts to secure

PRAISES WORK OF OLD MEN

This corps deserves more detailed notice. IL was composed of Landwehr diVsion from Posen and one from Si- lesia. We had originally intended to use it principally for frontier defense. But, as always happens, wherever troops may be. they get drawn in when it comes to fighting.
 Thus in August the Landwehr corps had joined in the advance into Poland and across the Vistula. This had in volved a good many improvised arrange ments among the divisions. After the crossing of the Nistula they joined in the heavy fighting in which the Ale< ,tro- -Hungarians were engaged south of Lublin. They then accompanied the Austrian army in it's retreat through the Tanew region, roadless waste of marsh and forest east of the lower San.
 As early as August the Landwehr corps had been placed under General Won Hindenburg's command. But we were unable to interfere and had to freedom in making his decisions. This lent officer General Von Woyrsch, and Colonel Heye, his splendid chief of the staff were well known to us.
 Shortly before my departure from In sterburs motor driver turned up with
 some documents, and reported that these were such of the archives of the Landwehr corps as had been saved. He explained that the corps had been an initiated and General Won Woyrstch ana his chief of staff Killed. It was not until some days later that we were able to ascertain the facts and realize that the rumorS were false.

We. at Breslau inn mediately got in touch with them and saw to it that they were re equipped and brought up to strength as far as possible. At their request they also re- ceived some heavy artillery. We were only able to supply them with a Land- wehr battalion which had old field how itzers. They were very heavy for the bad roads.
 But the value of heavy artillery was estimated so highly that all difficult ties were overcome. The mobility of
 artillery is often sacrificed to an ex- cessive regard for the cost of employ ing it. The achievements of the LAndwehr corps may be looked back upon with pride by all who took part in them. They afford conclusive proof of the high quality of our army, the perfec- ton of it's organization and the remark able value of the training and educa- tfon of our soldiers before the war. measure to conduct the war in the east with 14andwehr and Landstrum forma- tionse
