Recent utterances by John Redmond and pronouncements by th English press in Ireland were aUo referred to. "Replying, the acting secretary of the foreign office, by order of the im perial chuncellor, officially declared that Germany repudiates , the evil in tentions attributed to her and declares that she desires only the welfare or the Irish people and of their country. 'Germany would never Invade Ire land with a view to conquest, it was stated, or to overthrow her' native in stitutions, should fortune bring. Ger man troops to Irish shores.

The Germans' new offensive onder General von Hin denberg in 'Russian Poland bears out the recent surmise in this column that the Teutonic forces' retreat from War saw some time ago all the way back to their own frontier, was for the pur pose of giving them - the advantage of their strategic railroad system on their own side of the border. The opin ion was expressed that Von Hlndern berg would e these railroads for a more rapid concentration than was pos sible to the Russians, with their more primitive transportation facili ties. -This undoubtedly is just what happened. Nevertheless, 'the Germans' swift ad vance at the present time seems due also to a lack of the Russian resist ance which, by a minimum calculation, was to have be-jn expected. Back on Same Route. The route chosen by the kaiser's commander for his second invasion is the same by wbich he previously ad vanced on Warsaw and retreated later to the frontier. Presumbably he had reason to believe that the Slavs were not counting on a renewed German of tensive from the same quarter as the one whence a previous advance had failed. In this he appears to have been right, the Russians having concen trated south towards Cracow and north along the east Prussian frontier. But even with these new eoncentra tiona it Is surprising that they left so few troops guarding their center as to permit the Germans to recover al most half of the territory they recent ly lost, in so short a time. Slav Use Weakened. In fact, the ease of the Teutonic advance suggests that the whole Slav line has been weakened. The czar's campaign against the Turks is not progressing satisfactorily, and there is reason to believe that the Petro- grad general staff has been divefTlng men from the Russian western frontier for service in Asia Minor. That the Germans' rapid retirement from Warsaw, when they previously invaded Russian Poland, was really strategic and due to the necessity they ,were under to reconcentrate might' easily have been overlooked by the Slavs. The desire to emphasize Russian military efficiency and intellectual strength Is a dominant characteristic at Petrograd Just now, so probably the central part of the czar's battle line from the Baltic to the Carpathians seemed the safest from which to make withdrawals. - ' - Oerman Wedge Driven In. , Finding; the Russian center -nreak ened. General von Hindenberg Evident ly ' took instant advantage of-it and drove bis wedge tar into Russian- ter With . Constantinople continuing to lure the Slavs in a different direction, he seems likely to be able to retain what he holds, and . perhaps to push on still farther. von mnaenoerg s earner move against Warsaw was undertaken at time when Russia had no distractions, Since then the Turkish temptation has presented Itself.
