THE EASTERN THEATRE . OF WAR.…
THE EASTERN THEATRE OF WAR. A military correspondent reminded us this weak that, .regarding the war. in its true perspective, after the closing of its I first phase, in the west., the principal theatre of warfare now will be in the east. Oiir attention is mainly occupied neces- sar.'l.v 'with affairs in France, > where our own army is making so gallant, and effec- tive a fight in conjunction with its brave ally. But from the point, of view of thft campaign against Germany and Austria- Hungary as a whole, the operations in the cast will gain in importance with the passing of each week. The steam- roller may not get to Berlin in the easy inarjier some people had anticipated weeks ago, yet it will be the influence exerted by the Russian iomw on the borders of, and. in, East Prussia which is going to tell most in the second phase of the war. The great part played by Russia in the dramatic events of the last fortnight ) ought to be emphasised—and the price it I paid- W? must not forget that the ,l sian dash into East Prussia was a risky j undertaking, resolved upon as a means of aiding France in. the western campaign, The Tsar's troops completed their mobi-I ligation long before the French or the Germans expected would be possible. This accomplished, it was open to the 1 Muscovites to play a safe game, accumu- ) lating their forces on the frontiers, and taking n) risks. They did not play this I safe game. Instead, as one of the critics put it. they realised that it was due to France to take risks in the hope of draw- I ing off German armies from France. The advance into Eastern Prussia has been judged by competent writers on the mili- tary situation to have been rapid to the I point of ra&hnc&s. and its scheme is de-I "ÙU'OO to be only excusable on tb,? ground that it ?as necessary to make, at all co&ts, n dheri1) in favour of France. There ¡ teems no reason to doubt that this diver- sion svcceeded. Many agn. we wers told that Germany was withdrawing trcops from Belgium and France, and. although at the time it was thought I probable that they were being transferred to some other part. of the long battle-lint I in the west, the evidence is now a/-eutnu- j la ling that the withdrawal was for ths, i purpose of meeting the swift ,aq.d unex- ,i pected menace in the ea^t. Thus when we consider the factors which contributed to the change of the situation in France- i.h?i whirh led to thf turn 'of the tide-—the part played "by Russia Dmst. be tid?--thc- part. pl?,Tp-d-by ¡ Arid we ought to bear in mind the price J paid by that country. The Russian official communications, with that candour which renders messages from Petrograd ahso- lutely re liable, reported' that 'the losses were very grave. How grave is appearing with the receipt of more detailed apenunts of the battle waged in East Prussia. According to one writer, the, defeat was one of the greatest in military history. Only the First Army Corps and half the iixth,, neither nf which was seriously j engaged, got away. The eighth, sixteenth, | and twenty-third, and half the sixth, j numbering in all about 140,000, were wholly destroyed The Russian killed is estimated at 11,000. Over 30,000 wounded, j The number of prisoners ,w is .90.000. The d?fe?t was unq-ualiaed, but PO strange is | th? course of eventa in this ?aj. that we i are entitled to say the net effect was in j favour of the Allies. This great, dash, although it resulted in a defeat, was sue- I ce.-3ful in drawing off at leasl t-wo Ger- ;————— -——————-———-——— ? ——  man army corps from France. It relieve d the pressure upon tho Allies in the west, and doubtless was one of the main con- tributing factors to the great German retreat. In its own good time, Russia will make up for the serious reverse. It has cleared the way by crippling the forces of Austria-Hungary. The events of the. week make it plain that Russia has gone rcost of the way to sweep Austria-H ungary out of the fiel4 as a threatening force in the east. We may say indeed that we have seen the last, of the •• Tliial Monarchy in its present furm. The empire has been ur.jiermined- its troops, in. the regions open to Servian attack, and in the north where B.1J.ia pressed, have gonA from di:?a.ct<r to disaster, it is impossible for the victor!? to compute the full extent of their triumphs, and it will be a diijrk day in Germany when the, people learn how they have been deceived with tales of Austrian successes against Servia and Russia. Trnly Austria-Hungary is paying an awful penalty for allowing itself to be inaile the catspaw of the. Kaiser. The dispatch of the British Ambassador lately i-ii- Vioniia shows that Austria would have drawn hack when it saw the fearful pos- sibilities to which the, Servian ultimatum might lead. A few days' delay might in all probability hare saved Europe from one of the greatest calamities in history • And it was when affairs were dchcately petted on the brink, when Austria was inclined to draw back. that. Germany forced it on-and drove it headlong to its ruin. To the Kaiser, thinking gloomily over th'J fate of his ally-as he must, be— are not. the events of the past fortnight, the colossal defeats of Ai and the terrible predicament in which the remainder, of its army is now in. "writings on the wall!'? For vain as we know him to be, he must realise that, after the failure of his initial plan, after the breakdown of the military machine he supposed to be invincible, there is but one "nd to this war, however long he may be able to delay it- There seems to us to be much significance in the commence- ment of peace talk by German e-vr^. pathisers. Not, that there is any disposi- tion ,t> listen to it in this country. There is no man so ppace-loving- in his tendencies but that be heartily agrees that, we must go on with this'struggle ti^the bitter end. We have to make Europe safe not only for ourselves, and. our children, but for t our children's children; and there will bo no safety even for ourselves in a peace which might preserve the status quo. The time is not yet to t.alk of- mediation suggestions. The Allies wiU be ready to listen when they are in Berlin. I I f And Austria-Hungary. What may happen in that. land of mixed races and fierce internal hatreds ia on the knees of the Gods. The Dual Monarchy is more divined by race-differences than any country in the world; it is a, welter of races struggling, tor frpedoul or power." I In Austria, while the direction of affairs still rests mainly in German -hands, there is litrle oppression of other nationalities, which have more or less complete autonomy in. their own local .affairs. In flitigary," says a writer upon the domestic -affairs of that country, it is different. Under the Hungarian constitu- tion the Magyars are still permanently in the ascendant, and the mainspring of politics in the country is the determina- tion to keep this ascendancy intact, a.nd to resist any encroachment on political power by the other races. This is done in a. thousand and one ways, by manipu- lating the franchise, by 'rigging* the voting arrangements, by suppressing the Slav press, by restricting the education of the Slav and Roumanian peoples, and so forth. The nice question, however, is not only an internal problem. Many of the races in the Monarchy have large numbers I of their fellows just beyond the boun- I daries. The bulk of the Poles are in Russian and German Poland. The j HuthenCli are but a section of the Little j Russian people occupying the Ukraine-— the south-wefit corner of Russia: three and a half million Roumanians are blood brothers to the inhabitants of Roumania FinnUy the Southern Slavs in &-rvia and Montenegro number 3.M<),OM as against 6,500,000 within the Monarchy. The poU?ics of Austria-Hungary are inSnitely I complicated by nationaH?t tnovemenLs among each of these people for reunion with their brothers outside." It is easy to see why if is that Austrian- Hungarian resistance to Russia hns failed. Nor is the moral confined to one land. It applies universally. The secret of wi-e Empire-governing lays in a frank recog- nition that the spirit of nationality is, after religion—some will say before it! the strongest thing in the world. The Dual Monarchy might have held together had there bsen a recognition of this fact. Its pillars hive fallen because there was no far-sighted statesmanship, no .states- manship which realised how mighty is the spirit. of race.

On the morning of the Hth," he said, the Germans called a halt. By the afternoon the "b&ttle had become general, All next day the battle was of a ding-dong nature, the Germans evidently awaiting reinforcements. t During the night, how- ever, they delivered a furious attack on the axtrenM left. where tha British and French, troops gallantly met the ftirious onslaught, repulsing the Germans. no fewer than ten times with fearful losses. "The Germans still c-ame on, seeking to pierce the French lines. There has been nothing like it since the beginning 01 the campaign. The enemy rolled dense massee of troops at us in the supreme endeavour toO check our forward march. When the dawn came, however, we still held the positions, and have even gained. ground slightly. The artillery duel wa* continu- ous throughout the day. The morning of the 17th 4siin saw desperate fighting, and this time we threw the Germans back some ten kilometres (six anr) a quarter milo). capturing 600 men and a lot of mitrailleuses."

A writer iu ibs, "Daily Express" says: Owing to the fact that a large number of the regular supporters of League foottll are in France doing their little oit against Germany, and that thousands of other football spectators are getting fit, for their coming share in the fray in various parts of England remote from football grounds, the gates at to-day's League matches will bear no comparison with those of former years. It is safe to say. however, that in all cases where it is possible cur newly made "Tommies" will turn up in their thousands to watch the games that in their civilian days were the only ninety-minutes' amusement they got in a week. Too Hot for Hardy. Several incidents that have come undef my notice recently prove, the soldiers' deep interest in the important League games even when they are in the firing line. There is the authenticated story of a soldier at the front who. when pre- sented with a newspaper by.a war corres- pondent, immediately turned to the sports page lor the result of an English League match. Here are two others. During the retreat from Mons there was a lull in the firing, which moved a soldier in the English trenches to shout: "Half time!

Amsterdam .-The British prisoners ot war captured by the Germans in Franca have been placed in a concentration oamp at Dorberitz, outside Berlin, in a small wood about 600 yards from thp main road. The prisoners' rations come from thp same military kitchen as supplies their guards. The women of t.he place have been ,I showing considerable sympathy with the ( Englishmen, and have often succeeded m slipping past the sentries in order tc do them little art. of kindness. The way to the kihen is -rather t'tax. and the arrangements are such that as the prisoners march with platen tMui bowls to receive their rations the women get an opportunity to get close enough to them to give them little presents of cigar- ettes and chocolates or other sweets.
