A DISQUIETING REPORT
hy Brown Tyler, editor of the Conyers Times, ]
in the latest issue of that high-principled and
Berlin's claim Tuesday that the Germans
bad retaken Kalusz from the Russians is dis
quieting for it may mean that the Russia^
vance is in danger. Monday Petrograd
- nounced the fall of Dolina to the Russians and
Dolina is twelve miles “west of Kalusz on th
railroad from Lemberg to llalicz.
When the Russians crossed the Dniester be
low Halicz and. by turning the Teutonic Link
forced the evacuation of that city, they did
■ not turn northed in an attempt to oust the
Teutons from their strongly fortified positions
along the Zlota Lipa f.ut instead drove west
ward along the south bank of the Dniester,
taking Kalusz and Dolina with the apparent
object of clearing the Teutons from
torriinrv about fifty miles wide >>e.
hat Lin
of territory about, fifty mile
Dniester and the Carpathian mountains.
If the Germans have taken Kalusz it would
be fortunate for the Russians if their advance
army had withdrawn to that city from DolinA;
otherwise the German* are now in the Russian
rear'and 51 considerable portion of the army
will be cut off. There is no doubt that the
German General Staff has hurried strong re
inforcements to this front, where the Russian
offensive was'assuming dangerous proportions.
Recent accounts from there tell of heavy fight
ing nil along the Russian front from the Gulf
of Riga southward and it would be in keeping
with German strategy to drive a strong force
at the Russian flank in an endeavor to cut off
and annihilate General Brusiloffs advanc.
my. . >
At first the Russian offensive was regarded
a* spasmodic and shortlived. After it had been
.sustained for two weeks it assumed a serious
aspect and a military expert writing for fhe
New York Times regarded it as of great
ment. aside from the fact that it demonstrated
that Russia was back into the war. This
pert takes into consideration that there
only three breaks in the Carpathian wall -here
and that when the Russians tried to drive
through one of these passes last year they had
■ucceeded in *the preliminary steps when the
great offensive was brought to a halt. So far
as known, the large force which participated
in the movement '4s there yet.. This writer

“The object of the* Russians *eems_ to be to
flatten nut the Austrians against the mountains
and then to flank their lifle by breaking
through one of the passes. This will have
far-reaching effect if it can be accomplished,
for not only will it force the Austrians in the
Carpathians east of the point of passage to fall
back, but it will affect the entire front in Rou
manian part of which is strung out along the
Carpathian front, where it separates Moldavia
from Transylvania. If the rear of the. Austrian
lines can be threatened here by a break in the
Galician passes, the entire gains made in Rou-
mania last year Can be nullified and a retreat
will have to come, which will liberate practi
cally all of Roumania and restore the latter
state to the same position she held when she
first declared war. This will open the way to
dHve against Constantinople, a* was original
ly intended, and will give t^e Salonicn forces
an opportunity to perform their function.
* ‘"Hiis is not merely speculation about the far
distant future. The whole thing depends on
the ability of the Russians to follow up their
present successes speedily. Last year they
broke through the Austrian lines just as com
pletely as they h-ve-daire tins rear, but the
halt in the forward movement gave the Teu
tons time to dig in and prepare new lines to
replace those from which they had been driv
en. Then it wa* a question of adequate artil
lery. This yegy the same thing will'prove the
controlling factor. If the Russian shell supply
■will-hold out it is possible that several weeks’
fighting may produce the result mentioned. It
is worthy of note, while comparing the status
this year with that of last, that Russia f^ighf
last year from the first of June to late in the
fall before her shortage of shell became plain
ly marked. This year the offensive has been
going but two weeks and already the Austrian
lines have been completely broken and the
Russians are in position to begin the operation
of rolling up the two wings."
When the Russian offensive passes from the
class of a spasmodic effort to a well-planned
movement calcluated to change the entire re
sults of the war. it beebmes a fact too serious
for the German General Staff to ignore. It is
therefore more than possible that their well-
known tactics have been resorted to and an at
tempt is made-to drive a wedge through' Ehe'
adavs one would infer that the debt^is all
the other way about. The Government must
do everything for the citizen, but the citizen
must do nothing for the Government except
grudgingly pay his pittance of taxes. -The Gov-i c,r
eminent must protect the citizen’s interests,
but the citizen has no obligation to support the
Governmen’s sovereignty. The Government;'.* •
must see to it that we all have freedom and jus- "
tice with prosperity thrown in; but we must '" " them eet
