RUSS MOM
ARE CONF DENT
More Than Pleased With Outlook
After Six Months..
Armies Growing and Gaining Over
the Enemy.
Petrograd, via London, Feb. 1.- A
Ruseiatt general, Who is an aide-de-
camp to Emperor Nicholas, and is ne-
cessarily nameless, gave an Associated
Press correspondent 'to -day the Rus-
sian viewpoint of the military situat
tion, This aide-de-camp had just' ro-
terned from inspecting the Russian
forces at all the fronts, except the
Caucasus. He said:
"To -day, eeactly .half a year since
the beginning of the war, our secend
line of troops is greater and our en-
tire armies are much stronger. The
men ars more hardened physically and
morally more ready.
"The enemy's territory has been oc-
cupied in least Prussia' and Galiciato
a greater extent than our most opti-
mistic expectations, While• the Ger-
mans are occupying practieally the
same lines as at the outset of the war.
The dietance between the Bzura River
and the German frontier, though
greater in miles than between Sochac-
zew and Warsaweis strategicelly much
less importtmt, for the reas-on that
there are no fortified positions be-
tween the Ilzuraeand .Germany, while
the last three months, durieg which.
the Germans have been occupied in
vaitt etempts to advance, have been
profitably used by us to fortify the
line from Newo-Georgliewsk to War-
saw and Ivangorod, which line is now
practically .Impregnable. , .
"The territory occupied 'by us in
East Galicia is now part and parcel
of the empire. Lembdg and vicinity
are well fortified, and the populatien
is well satisfied with the new state of
things. In the Carpathians the Aus-
trians have been Weakened by recent,
defeats, and "the German help there
will be insufficient -to 'infuse new
blood into their army. • ,
"At the outset of' the War, fears
Were expressed, in -view of the diffi-
culties of importation, as to where we
were to get necessary mechanfeal Im-
plements. Necessity has shown the
strength and resourcefulness of the

KAISER 'WARNED
Baron Burin Urges Need of An
Early Peace. ,
Loudon, Feb, le -The correspondent
of the London _ Daily Mail et Copen-
bagen asserts that Baron Burlan, the
Austro-Hungarian Foreign. Minister, at
his recent meetiag with the German
Emperor drew a doleful picture of the
Plight of the Dual Monarchy, and
urged teat the time had arrived, for
the Germanic powers to consider most
serSously the possibilities ror a toter -
able peace.
He advised Germany not to reject
fundamentally the thought of peace,
having for its basis the disarmament:
of Europe. Perhaps It would be:
necesssary to leave the French part ote
Alsace to France and to give up some
• Polish Provinces to a new Poland, but
it Russia would relinquirth a province
and Austria a part of Galicia to Poland
no real sacrifice for Germany woulif be
entailed.
"Austria would then leave tho rest
of Galicia, to Russia, and Bulcowina to
Roumania, and, if necessary, a part ot
NI3Toosnntioaneaicio.Ilerzegovina. to Selena and
I
"The leeding German statesmen' ad-
niitted Baron urian's intentions were
excellent and, to • some extent, justi-
fied by circumstances, but they de-
clared that sucha peace would be
more ruineus to Germany than total
'defeat.
"The other terms advanced by Bar-
on Burian, namely, the status quo ante
bellum, that Is to say, the restoring
ot Belgium and northern France, but
likewise the recovery by Germany of
.her colonies, were, with the exception
ot the relinquishments to Franco of
French Alsace and of the Polish prog-
laces to Poland, no absolute hindrance
to peace.
"For the reason eot forth the Ger-
man statesmen declared the noodle -
tams for peace are hopeless, and that
therefore, it would be madness to take
any steps revealing a disposition for
peace on the part of Germany and Aus-
tria-Hungary, as this would only weak-
en their cause."
