In full retreat over a vast front from the Baltic sea to Galicia, the. great Russian field armies are now threatened, with destruction. With Warsaw in the hands of the Germans and other for tresses and cities falling or about to fall before the Teutons, the greatest campaign in history is rapidly drawing to a close. Ivangorod, the fortress guarding Warsaw on the southeast, is in Teuton hands, according to a Vienna dispatch and the occu pation of Riga is only a matter of hours. Novo-Georgievsk, a fortress 20 miles west of Warsaw, is being evacuated by the. Russians. The world never witnessed such a retreat as the Slavs are making over a 300 mile front with the Germans hacking and driving at their flanks in an effort to envelop and destroy the Russian hosts. With rare courage and desperation, the Slavs are trying to save the railway from Warsaw to Petrograd, toward which General Won Buelow is battering his way from the Baltic regi on. The rush of Von Mackenzen northward toward Brest Litovsk from the Lublin-Cholm line spells disaster to the Russi an left wing if it succeeds. The flower of the Russian army is opposing the Austro-Germans in this region. Between widely separated wings of the Slav field forces, a steady retreat is in progress. Grand Duke Nicholas is endeav oring to wheel his million men into a strategic front in an ef fort to block the German steamroller which has ground its way through Galicia and across the plains of Poland, has taken Warsaw and is now threatening to sweep on eastward.
