chief impression OF the Russian re-
treat during the two days I stayed
at a German farm about $50 feet
from the Polish frontier. and the
main road of the retreat passing
about 200 yards from my room. l
saw them rushing in endless rows.
some tired. depressed. discouraged
and ragged looking. coming through
the open door to German territory:
others keeping excellent rank, self
possessed and proud.
Looking from my window at
night, I saw the landscape covered
by their camp fires; I heard their
songs, and saw them riding with red
flags waving-but l also observed
hoCks of piteous beggars. This was
defeat, but typiCally Russian de-
feat. which would end in a new
rally and attack by the same armies.
was aroused in the morning by the
noise Of their Cartwheels, and in
most cases they appeared to pass
reluctantly into German territory.
