PETROGRAD, June 24.-The Rus-

sian retirement through Galicia, fol- lowing the evacuation of Lemberg, is likened by Russian critics to Joffre's retreat to the Marne, during the first part of the war. They explain that suchsuccessful retirement in keeping the army intact is now equivalent to a defeat of the invaders. As Joffre was not afraid to permit the Germans to advance near Paris, so the Rus- sians claim not to be alarmed by the approach of Austro-German forces to Russian territory. The evacuation of Lemberg, it is felt here. can have no strategic importance other than the loss of a largely populated centre. The firmness of the Russian stand on the River Tanew leads to the belief

and

that the Russians will soon reach their own barrier, where, upon being f0lnf0l’C€d. lt may prove the German elation over the victory to have been premature. This belief is strengthen- ed by the fact that the German army is unable to make material progress at other points along this front. Thus far German operations in the region of Lemberg have exerted no apparent effect on the situation along the Dnelster River. At only one point on the entire length of the river. which for weeks marked the south-eastern fighting line, have the Austro-Germans managed to establish themselves with any permauency on the right bank. Here in the region near Nizenlow the Germans effectually crossed the river, but. according to details to-any or the severe battle at this point, the Austro- Germaus have been repulsed with heavy losses and compelled to sacri- fice many strongly fortified positions. They still maintain the position on the right of the river. On the front from Tanew to the line west of Rawka- Ruska the Germans were successfully held. There is no weakness in the Russian position in evidence here, as a result of the Russian evacuation of Lemberg. Russian observers are op- EIIDIBUC regarding the early recapture of _the Galician capital. The city suffered no property damage.

(Special to the Guardian.)

LONDON, June 24.-Discussing the

situation, which necessitates the Rus- sian retirements in Galician, the Morn- ing Post's Petrograd correspondent says:

“The Russians now realise that the

war is still in its preliminary stages. The enemy's national military organ- isationis so admirable and complete that the Allies must have time. many months. perhaps years, to wear down the enormous initial advantages of German aggression. The Russians believe the end is more than ever sure. but still very far off.

"The Galician campaign shows that

Germany at last has realised the mis- take mado earlier in the war. and therefore ought to have been dealt with first. The Germans can repair their initial error only by bringing Russia to a decisive battle, but Rus- sia has a thousand miles of manoeuv- ring ground before vital parts of the nation can be reached. Therefore. Germany has a hopeless task in attempting to force the hands of Grand Duke Nicholas.

“Lemberg really is very secondary

mutter both from the German -and Russian points of view. The Russians will not accept battle until the Ger- mans commit some fatal error. but will continue the policy of wearing down the Germans. until the time comes for a general move by all the Allied armies."

DUNKIRK, F'rance, June 24.-Thir-

ty-six tons of explosives and metal were fired into Dunkirk yesterday from German positions somewhere be- hind Dlxmude. Several civilians were killed or wounded and considerable material damage was done but not a. shell reached a point of military im- portance.

The impression on the inhabitants

differed in no way from preceding hombardments. The first shell struck the city at dawn, others followed uu- til after 6 in the evening, coming without warning. Though Dunkirk hears the guns of the Allies along the

C.

Belgian front no sound comes from the monster weapon that hurls those 16-inch shells from a spot more than twenty miles distant.

Scarcely had the smoke of the first

shell lifted when notices reading “Refuge in case of alarm" appeared on buildings having cellars safe from shell-fire. Many people hurried to these shelters, while more went in the direction of the explosions to aid the victims. Whenever one of these missiles fell the work of the rescuers was reduced to a minimum as destruc- tion in the immediate vicinity was nearly complete. The streets -were

no sooner strewn with debris than thc work of clearing away began.

At intervals in this fifteen-hour

bombardment calm prevailed in the city. There was little excitement and no panic. When the fire was over the streets resumed their ordinary aspect and among the crowds street Arabs swarmed about the stricken spots hunting fragments of shells .to sell to passers by. The electric current was cut off’ in this city but gas could be used. Persons who sought cellars came out before morning to the sound of cannonading from the Allies' front that continued all night.
