I« w ? s argued that the conduct of this retreat without great loss would entail the necessity of theLublin-Chelm front holding firm. Now that it is broken quick action on the part of the Russians become imperatative, as also does the stemming of the increasing German force driving from Kovno and Suwalki toward Vilna, the capture of which would cause the northern line to retreat. British Concerned With these developments Great Britain is greatly concerned. Some sections of the newspaper are seizins the opportunity to empnasize Russia's task, and press for conception here as best proof to give Russia that the western allies purpose to stand by her in exerting all the pressure possible in the west. The Russian press, according to spe cial dispatches reaching London, feel that the western allies should make some movement in France or Belgium to relieve the strain on Russia as Rus sia did by her invasion of East Prussia. With events shaped as they now are it Is believed here that Russia has lost the initiative for the remainder of the summer which will enable the central powers to strike hard at either I- ranee, Belgium, Serbia or Italy.

"We had no choice in the matter in August, 1914," the newspaper says, "and we ha\*e no choice in the matter now." After citing examples of what it de scribes as the "terrorism ' and des potism" perpetrated by Germany in the year of warfare, the Westminster Gazette says: , "There is no conceivable arranging of aspirations which will meet our view short of an issue which will make a repetition of these events impossible in the future." The Pall Mall Gazette, writing in a similar vein, and while not question ing the pope's sincerity or impar tiality, remarks: "But until victory definitely rests on the banner of our alliance the pope's wish cannot be realized with out the deepest wrong to the cause of right and liberty aad peace itself."
