CRITIC SAYS RUSSIAN ARMIES ARE NOW WELL PLACED
ABLE TO FIGHT WHERE AND AS LONG AS THEY WISH.
RAIN AND SNOW WILL EMBARRASS GERMANS. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, September 10. The military critic of the London Times, Colonel Repington, says that the fortune of war is variable, but in view of the unfavourable conditions of the Russians' retreat from the Vistula the armies are now well placed. They are able to carry out an orderly retreat fighting where they please and as long as they wish, until the wet season, which has already begun, and then the snow, impose a halt on the German armies, leaving them in winter quarters in a devastated country.
