The Germans have only succeeded in Galicia because of the

supremo effort they have made both as regards men and the expenditure of shell. But if they continue to wage the Polish war in this strenuous manner, it is clear that they will bare little or nothing over for use elsewhere. Again, if they play Frederick the Great's game, and having administered a severe blow to the Russians, rush southwards again, all the trouble will at once begin afresh in Galicia. The Russians will ratans like a flood which has been temporarily stayed. In this context it is necessary to remember that the Russians are not in the least demoralized owing to their rough handling by the Germans. Their so-called defeated armies will fight as well next month or next week as if they had been successful now.
