strong positions, Brussiioff was no longer
able to smash his way along; and great
hope of the allies faded, as their hope in
Russia had faded the year before.
For Ludendorff personally this situa-
ton was the great opportunity. g 1t led
him to control OF the eastern front and
finally to command of the German armies
with Hindenburg as the popular idol and
figurehead.
At the beginning of the campaign
Ludendorff was in command of only the
northern part of the front. 1t will be re-
called he had been under a cloud be-
cause of his involvement in the intrigues
to overthrow Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg and General Won Falkenhayn,
then chief of the general STAFF. Powerful
forces, including even the Kaiserin, had
been behind this intrigue, but the Kaisers
inner circle had held its power. They
vetoed Ludendorff's plans for 1915 in Rus
STA and put Mackensen and Prince Leo
poId of Bavaria in command independent
of him on more than half of the German
front.
With Germany in panic over Verdun,
the Somme and the Brussilon drive, the
Kaiser could no longer cling to his favor
ties and Austria could no longer stand
on her proud dignity The call came for
the man who had saved Germany and
Austria in the early part of the war,
the Kaiser swallowed his pride and
Ludendorff's rise began.
General Brussiloffs break through the
Austrian lines in the summer of 1916 had
put the whole German-Austrian front in
Russia in peril. The Russians had cap
tured more than 200 900 prisoners and had
made gaps at two vital places, south Of
the great Pripet marshes and south OF
the Dniester river Any further ad-
vance would shake the whole front in
Russia and compel preciptate retreat, If
not disaster.
Ludendorfr, who had been in semi-dis-
grace and had been limited to the north
ern end of the front, was now called on to
save the situation. He had been sum
moned to Pless, the Kaiser's headquar-
ters, in June, and had advised that the
whole eastern front be put under sin
gle command. He had found Austria not
yet ready to agree with this scheme. In
creased peril, however, nov brought Aus
tria to her knees and let him carry out
his scheme

tude of Reumanin grew ever more
doub tfuI.


From the middle of August onward
the new front under the control of the
r-in-ehief In the east, began
to hold.
The and Austro-Hungarlan army
which received our cavalry reserve
from Kovel. was placed In support at
Brody. 1t was also stiffened with Ger
man troops that it's positions could be
regarded as secure. AS far as num-
bers are concerned, the Austro- Hun
garian troops would have been quite
able to hold their positions without
German help. But that was impossible
in their present condition, and we had
to come to the rescue.
We helped as much as we could, but
the blood shed by German troops with
the Austro Hungarian army could
never be made good
The construction of positions was
pushed on, and in this connection we
had to supply the End Austro-Hunga-
rinn army with great deal of barbed
wire. The rear communications were
also organized. 1t was case of doing
everything we had done further north
In the previous autumn. when the
armies of the comma nde It in chief in
the east took to trench warfare after
our offensive ended. The conditions
Of trench construction were similar. We
had to start everything from the be-
ginning.
AUSTRIANS GO To SCHOOL
We made a beginning with the train
ing of the transformation (the spe-
cial Austro- Hungarian reserves) on our
own principles, and they were to be
inspected by German generals. Colonel
Prince Ascar of Prussia. who was re-
sponsible for the training of the Aus
trian march battalions in the German
southern army, did very valuable
work
German artillery brigade command
ers taught the Austro- Hungarian artil-
terry. which stood very high as regards
the technical side of its work, the con-
duct of an artilley action as required
in great modern battles. We initiated
the practice. though on small scale.
of exchanging officers Nothing was
left undone that could possibly help to
prevent any further reverses to the
Austro- Hungarian army, such as we had
witnesses in June.
LudendOrffs feat in saving the east
ern front and stopping the great Rus
alan advance brought him the power he
had coveted and been denied I'm 1915.

BY EUGENE j. YOUNG
What a real disaster to Russia was the
March Q916) campaign in the marshes
south of Riga is made plain by Luden-
dorff in dealing with the final phases of
the campaign of 8russ:loff on the south
ern part of the battlefront in the sum-
mer. What would have happened to the
Germans and Auslr!ans if the Russians
had not sacrificed their men by tens OF
thousands in the battle that was ''choked
in blood and swami" in their effort to
help the French by relieving the pressure
at Verdun?
Our only reserve for a front of about
SO miles now consisted of but one cav
airy brigade" That was the state of af.
fairs in Russia at the end of July, as ~e-
vealed by Ludendorff. All the available
men had to be in the fighting line and
there was no help in sight from the west,
where the verdun battle had eaten up
it's scores of thousands of Germans,
where the Somme battle was eating up its
scores of thousands more, or from the
south, where the italian attacks were
worrying the Austrian command.
If the great Russian army in the north
had been still intact. with all the great
store of ammunition that had been rained
upon the swamps in March, now would
have been its opportunity. 1t would have
had good, dry roads for an advance. 1t
might easily have struck through wilma
and Kovno and rolled up the German left
wing against the sea, as had been the
plan in March. 1t almost succeeded in
doing this in the mire when the Ger
mans were much stronger, and it GER
tainly could have accomplished the task
now. But the blunder had been commit
ted the lives and ammunition had been
spent and the northern army, in the
summer could do nothing more than
launch weak attack from Riga which
was suppressed by the thin lines the
Germans had left in this district
Brussiloff thus was unable to carry out
his great scheme to roll up the Austrians
and Germans from the south. In the be-
ginning he had been scarcely stronger
than the enemy on this front. He had
captured 100000 Austrians, but he had
also lost heavily in frontal attacks and
the coming of the Germans from the
north had tended to eoualize the num-
bers. So when the enemy began to dig
in and stretch barbed wire in front of

of the situation. The position of our
new headquarters had not been settled
For the present we decided to use spe-

On August 3 or we were in Kovel,

Ssingen. His chief of staff was Colonel
Hell, hitherto chief of staff of the 10th
army. He had taken over his new
duties in July, and was the right man
in the right place to deal with this
extraordinary difficult situation
The east front had passed through
another critical period. The terrific
Russian offensive had burst on US, and
the end of the fighting could not be
forseen. We were heavily engaged,
and there was small hope of relief
Inere were too many troops of the
Oldest classes on the eastern front, and
we did not like to place such men in
the hottest corners.
While the attacks at Riga were
dying down, the Russians resumed
their offensive on July 90, north of
