HOW IT WAS LOST

PRESIDENT WILSON DEFIED

The Russian crisis in tho East is tho most absorbing topic in tho Srar news to-day. Various accounts amplify tha previous reports of tho Russian retirement from Warsaw, which, a German newspaper points out, marks the result of a lor.g-prepared plan, and which also, it is said, is to bo succeedod by an attempt to develop a liuge German move having for its objective tho surrounding of the Russian 'Armies. The Russians aro fully alivo to tho menace of the great German forces on tlie northern flank. Ivangorod, the southern covering flank of Warsaw, has been evacuated, aiid preparations are in train for the evacuation of Kovno. Despite all these advances by tlio diiemy, tho German newspapers warn their public not to place too much importance- on the capture of Polish cities, as tho only tiling tliat matters is not the capture of a city, but the destruction of an army. There is very scanty news from tho Western thoatrc; tho news from the Austro-Italian thcatro ie confined to aerial exploits,while in the Near East—tho Dardanelles and Gallipoli—the only kind of warfare that appears to be in progress is tho underground campaigning by the diplomats of the various belligerents to establish an understanding with tho Balkan peoples.
