SUMMARY OF WAR SITUATION

(Special to the Guardian.)

l.()N1J(JN, Aug. 6.-With thc excep-

tion of the great eiitreiiclied camp of Novo (lcorgicvlsk, the Russians have evacuated the whole line of the Vis- tula River, lvangorod, the southern fortress. having fallen into the hands of the Anstro-German army. The ltusslaiis are now making their way eastward. The decision of the general staff to lcuve a. garrison in Novo Georgiovisk was to deprive the Ger- mans of the use of railway comniiiiii- cations and of the Vistuia ltiver for bringing up supplies for the armies. Novo Gcorgii-visk is situated at the junction of thc Vistuia aiul Narew and \Vurki-ro Rivers, in iiortli-west Warsaw. It has two powerful bridges, eight citndels and twenty-four re- doubts, rrontniiiing eleven and twelve inch baltci'ivs. it is calciiluted by military observers here that un ariny corps could lioid out tlierc for many months :is thc camp is protected by massive ourthivorks. The laying of a' siege to Novo Georgievisk nniy prove one of the most interesting operations of thi- war as it doubtless will show ivlicthcr cartliworks are less suscept- ible to thc fire of high explosive than cupola forts.

Of thc rciring Russian 'armies aflicial

reports say nothing. The Russians. however. dcstroyed the bridges over the Vistuia. taking every means of placing obstacles in the way of their pursucrs. while others of the forces offer resistance north and south. ` The opinion here is that the Rus- sians comnieiiced their retirement in time to escape this annoying. but to retreat without a flanking movement. Even a more serious menace is General Von Bueiow's advance in the Baltic provinces. While. according to Petrograd, the Germans have been thrown back south of the Riga, he has made a further advance east of Ponie- wesch towards the Dvinsk-Vilna- Petrogrnd railway. Some critics be- lieve this move means that the Ger- mans unless they succeed iii smash- ing the Russian army intend to mnke an effort to advance further into Russia and force Emperor Nicholas to accept separate peace. With the history of previous invasions of Rus- sia before them It is believed the German stall’ would hesitate at such a tremendous undertaking.

Along the western front the Ger-

mans made a series of attacks. but all of them. according to the French report. were repulsed.

in diplomatic circles importance is

attached to the negotiations going on in the capitals of the Balkan States. 'Ministers of the Quadruple Entente Powers at Nish, Serbia. following the example oi' their colleagues in Athens.

A very large and representative

meeting of Coiiserviiiives, iiiciiuiing a nuinber oi' Liberals, was held at Peake Station last night, beginning at 8 o‘clock.

Mr. James Kenny occupied the

chair. (ln the platform were the Pre- mier, lion. John Mciieaii, Messrs. A.l A, Mcilonuld, ll. I). Mcldweii and A. I.. lfriisor, all of whoiu gave ox- ccllont iuIili'csscs in which thcy dealt thoroughly and exhaiistivcly with the record oi’ the Government, convincing the aiidicncc beyond a doubt as to the excellent manner in which the political afi`aii's of the Province had been carried on during the present regime. `

The force of the speakers' remarks

was reflected in the frequent cheers which greeted them. The meeting was enthusiastic throughout and all the speakers received a splendid hear- ing. The speech of the Premier was unquestionably a masterpiece, and as the meeting advanced comments on

`tTié`Te'xoclleiice of his address were

heard on all sides. He dealt with the situation in a inasterly manner, and one or two interruptions from a Lib- eral source were erfectively dealt with to the entire satisfaction of the au- dience. who cheered lie explanation of the Premier. The first speaker was Mr. A. A. McDonald. ills speech was brief and 'to the point. lie said that tour years ago the people of Peake Station had honored him with a large vote, and hc trusted that during the time t.hnt had elapsed since then he had given them no cause to regret their action. During the time the Government had been in power it had done a great deal for the country. carrying out every promise made, as every honest man would admit, even in regard io the Ballot Act, which might not inet-t with the approval of sonic pcrsoiis, The Govcriiniciit liad donc as it had pi'onii.sod to do.

The inattcr of the telcplmnc and

tclegrapli had been saiisi`aci.orily ad- justed io thc cntirc sniisfacion :ind greatly increased convenience of the people.

Mr. McDonald spoke with reference

to the mussel mud operations nt St. l’eter's Bay, and thc great boon that that brought, particularly to the East- ern halt ol’ the Island. He also re- ferred to the financial situation, hegiii- ning with the large debit which the Conservative Government had tiikeii over from their predecessors, and showing how the situation had been improved by yearly surpluses instead of yearly deficits as in the olden time,

With regard to roads, he said hc

speaking of thc improved conditions everywhere in evidence. The roads altogether were in an excellent con- dition, which was largeiy attributable to the fact that the people lookcil after the roads themselves.

The next speaker was Mr. ll. I).

Mi-Ewell. the recently noininated can- didate us n. colleague to Mr. l\ii-Don- uid. lie said tiiat as the aiiiliciice would hear hiin again at it joint nicot- ing. he would not say much on the prcscnt occasion. Seven years ago he was on the same platform. asking for the siiffruges oi' the people. For the vote lic got at that time ho was thankful. lie had hoped to have been out of politics eiiiircly, and il' lic had consulted his own personal feelings he would be out of the field now. Mr. Simpson, who was xi splendid man. clever and conscieiitious. had had to resiixn owing to ill health, and at ii meeting ot’ delegates held at Moreli hc Mr. McEwen. was uiianininusly chos- en to be standard bearer, and he rould not very well refuse. They owed it as a duty to the country as well as to themselves when they were so chosen, to accept, and setting aside all personal coiisiderations. he had ac- cepted tiie honor conferred on him. So far as he was personally concerti- ed. his return mattered little. but it was important to the country which Govcrnnieiit was in control during the next four years. it was simply ii busi- ness proposition, and if the people found that the Government had con-

Fifteeu years ago tliere was in power a Government that was do- ing its best according to its lights, but that best was far below thc standard that the people of this Proviiicc had zi right to expect, and as the years went by, and one leader followed an-` other, 'the situation was not iniprovcil in any way.
