The Stratford Evening Post WITH WHICH IS INCORPORATED THE EGMONT SETTLER WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1915. RUSSIA’S HEROISM.

Not many weeks ago Caar Nicholas tojd', tii(» world that France and Britaip plight rfely upon his unshakeabte u:i 11 ( to-.light : oh until victory crowns the efforts: of the nations/vho aye ‘Combined to /p ush for ever the disturbers of ijl^ ( wprld’s peace, Hon- nobly the Russian • armiek 1 'are l carrying? ! ou£ Hid great duty,i imposed upon them we have tp .some loxteift HeQrlied ’during llitv ) Pj[i^ I ,.fe.\v >r< aays, and the sjtiory.j Qii ythe ,tearful , sacrifices the great-hearted people of a great nation are making thrills humanity. It is certain the time has now ,come to contest every inch .of her territory with the invading hordes, and it is evident that the. Austro-G orman movement against Russia has received a check. Prodigal waste of German life has been of no avail, and one German General’s failure has brought upon him the snarling wrath of an angry Kaiser. The; appearance of the Czar ol all the Russias at the front, was believed to| have heralded some great changes in Russian military affairs, and his pre-j sence with his troops will assuredly intensify their lighting value, always coup| to the highest ol any soldiers in the world. The soldiers of the great* Empire have a deep affection for their Czar, and in times of oppression i.s always to him that they looked for relief, and when the Nihilists and ( other revolutionists have said that the Czar was! the fount of all their trou- ( hies, their faithful answer has' been that then; sufferings have not caused by the Czar, but by the officialsaround him ; they prevent the knowledge of conditions from reaching him. On the southern side of the enormous front Russia is guarding,! General von Mackenseu is working along the Kovel-Rovno railway bo-j tween the vast marshes and Galicia, while General von Linsingen is strug- | gling along the Brody-Rovno-railways leading from the great railway radiant, Lemberg. This left Hank ol the Russian arms appears to ho hearing the brunt of frenzied efforts on the part of the German Generals to “make good” in the cold eye of Wil-' helm. Rut they are facing a task even too great for Germany’s might—while daily King Frost draws to help the children of Russia to drive , hack the foemen from their soil. j
