For Russia, the war was just one valiant disaster after an- other. Her huge masses of men were ready in the historic tradi- tion to fight and die in hundreds of thousands.
With French defences crum- bling under the first German thrust in the west. the Russians launched an attack to take oft the pressure. One Russian army under Gen Paul Rennenkainpf plunged into East Prussia on Aug. 17. 1914, from bases In

PULLED BACK
A panicked German general ordered retreat, but before he could put it into effect he was withdrawn and the great team of von Hindenburgand Luden- dorff came into command. On the spot they found one of the most brilliant officers of toe war, Col. Max Hoff-mann, ready with a plan.
Ludendorfl and Hindenburg put it quick] into operation. They left their own flanks lightly protected and drove straight be- tween the two ussian armies.

was decided. By the end of Au- gust, with the war hardly be- gun. Sa'msonov’s army had been destroyed.
The two German generals, for- tified by two crops drawn from :the Western Front. then turned ion the northern Russian army . and smashed it in another noted
battle, the battle of the Masu— rian Lakes.
The battles cost the Russians
89.000 soldiers killed or taken prisoner. Still worse. Russia lot huge numbers of cannon. ma- chine-guns and rifles, irreplace able from her limited arms fac- tories. ’
Nevertheless, the Russians had forced the Germans to with- draw two corps of crack troops from the Western Front, slowing down the thrust of the Germans just at the hour of the first battle of bile Marne in front of Paris.
AUSTRIANS HIT HARD
the Austrian at the story was different. The Aus- trian forces gained some terri- tory but were hit by massed Russian forces, more skillfully handled. The Austrians re- treated and again drew Geo mans from the Western Front.
Thus again the Russians, in costly gestures, gave relief to the retreating French armies.
big Russian steam roller of massed troops soon was aligned again to move against the Germans, with Grand Duke Nicholas pushing seven armies to the attack.
Where they had numbers, they lacked transportation. The German armies. several times outnumbered by the Russians, ad the advantage of railroads paralleling the front to let them switch their reserves into attack on weak Russian fronts. other disaster to the Russians came in the early part of first winter.
SMASH THROUGH
The Hindenburg - Ludendorff team again smashed through between two armies.
