Military Experts Urge Populace to
Be "Tranquil" Retreat Best Pol
icy Till Munitions Arrive Press
Hints at Still Further Falling Back
to Defensive Positions.
PKTROORAD, July 20. Tho mil
itary critics of tho newspapers of Pe
trograd, after conversations with
"competent military authorities" to
day call upon tho Russian public to
view tho events which nro about to
trausplro with tranquility and to
"mantalu their faith In tlio glorious
ItiiHslan army until such time as It
shall take a decisive aggressive step
to urenk once for all tho power of
the stuhhoru enemy."
Tho Itelchs says:
"Until such time as our armies re
ceive the needed military supplies
the most sensible thing Is to avoid
a battlo and retreat to previously
prepared positions, even though such
retirement carry with It the occupa
tion by the enemy of moro exlenslvo
territory than thoy previously hold.
It Is betcr to give up territory which
may bo regained than to sucrlflco-nn
army which could bo replaced only
with difficulty."
Quoting n military authority, tho
Hclch says it is possible that Russia
Is on the cvo of a maneuver which
will consist of the retirement of tho
army from tho lino of tho Vistula
to now defensive positions marked
by tho strong fortresses of Kovno,
(roil no and llrest-Lltovsk. In con
clusion tho Reich lays emphasis upon
tho necessity of giving greater weight
to strategic than political consider
ations. Tho Uourso Gazotto directs atten
tion to an Interview secured by Its
military writer who says that soventy
German divisions, all tho Gorman
cavalry and a big part of tho AiiBtro
Hungarlan army, Is at prosent'operat
lng against Russia, thereby preven
ting such concentration of tho Rus
sian army on tho northern front as
would be necessary If Russia under
took at tills tlmo a decisive aggressive
mo'vomont. This paper points out
that until Russia has completed tho
mobilization of her Industrial forces,
her army can not meet tho German
artillery on equal terms.' It argues
furthermore ngalnst tho retention of
fortresses on the Nurew-Vlstula lino
which aro tho objectives of tho pres
ent advance.
