IMo.s-, July 27. Hllalre Belloc,
who Is regarded ns one of the foremost
military critics, In a lecture here to
night declared that the odds favor th
Hermans In the eastern campaign. Ho
reviewed the Itusslan situation. which
he described as precarious, saying that
the crossing of the Narew was Im
portant own If the men crossing It were
not numerous, The, feat showed that
the railway line from Warsaw to Petro
grad was In great peril.
Ho spoke of what seemed to be a
lull In the fighting and ascribed this
to the Hermans waiting for more am
munition. The I.ublln-Cholm lino la
alao In great danger, he said, and the
Hermans are favored by their superior
ity In munitions.
"lt l nonsense," he asserted, "to
Imagine that the Hermans In the north
are hampered by the swamps and for
ests. There are good causeways ncross
the marshes quite sufficient to hear the
heaviest artillery
"The Bug has not furnished a cover
for Warsaw, although It has covered
tha railway It Is obvious, however,
that the gamble for the Polish triangle
ll a very close one. If the ItllsslanH
win It will bn a permanent strnti-Klc ile
feat for the enemy in the east ; If they
lose It means the loss of Wnrsaw and
