were prepared for the ebb and flow of
conflict, but not for1 the fall of Namur.
"We have, to face this situation with

ber that the battle la not yet over. The
Germane hava not yet burst their way

that thla la only the first great encounter
vof a war which plainly la destined to ba
a long one. For the aillea It la a phase;

"Namur Is a' fortress of great strength,

P "The blunt fact remains that In a really

The Incursion ov large bodies of
Russian troops Into the German
provinces of east and west Prussia
and their capture of the Important
positions of Gumblnnen and Inster
burg bring them In front of a series
of more or less strongly fortified
German, cities, placed strategically
to the east of the river Vistula and
between It and the frontier.
Among these fortresses one of the
first in importance Is Koenlgsburg,
on the gulf of Danxlg, a fortress of
the first class. The city contains
about 200,000 Inhabitants and was
formerly a Polish possession. The
garrison In times of peace comprises
three Infantry regiments of three
battalions each, a heavy cavalry reg
iment, a squadron of mounted rifles,
two field artillery regiments, one
garrison artillery regiment,' two en
gineer battalions and one battalion
of the army service corps.
Thorn Is another first class fort
ress guarded by a large number of
outlying works. This place also
has a garrison of nine infantry bat
talions, one regiment of Uhlans, one
field artillery regiment, one garrison
artillery regiment and a battalion of
fortress engineers. It is southwest
of Koenlgsburg, on the Polish front.
Allensteln is, If anything, stronger
even than Thorn. Its garrison con
sists of six infantry battalions, one
dragoon regiment and a regiment of
field artillery, but it Is the headquar
ters of the Thirty-seventh infantry
division as well as of the Seventy
fifth Infantry brigade and the Thirty-seventh
cavalry brigade, and it is
regarded as a place of concentration
far a field' array. Allensteln waa
the scene of a victory by Marshal
Soult and a French army, over the
pursuing Russians and Prussians in

It lies between Thorn and Koenlagburg,
tha three cities forming the flrat fortified
Una on the eastern German frontier. Far'
to tha north on the Vistula ties Danslg,
a great naval station and fortress. It
haa a population of about 150.000 . and
considerable' garrison, consisting of nine
Infantry battalions, two reglmenta of
hussars, two field artillery regiments, one
garrison artillery regiment and a battalion
of tha army service corps.
To tha south of the Russian line ad
vance ana the left wing of the Russian
army Ilea Posen, a strongly fortified city,
a former port of Polatid. which is occu
pied by a garrison whose composition is
unknown, but whose strength Is believed
to ba very great.
Keys of Second Line.
Between Danslg and Posen, on an even
line, lie the two fortresxes of Bromberg,
with six Infantry battalions, one mounted
grenadier regiment and two field afitlllery
reglmenta, and Graudens, which has nine
inranty battalions. a regiment of
mounted rifles, two field artillery regi
ments and some garrison artillery. These
are the keys of the aecond line ot de
fensive worka.
Other smalt fortified places on the Una
ot advance are Marlenburg, with a small
garrison of artillery, which was formerly
a fortress of the Knlghta Templar; Kulm,
with a garrison of one rifle regiment and
a machine gun section; Dlnrschau, a
small place, which was plundered and
burned by the French in 1S07; Brauirberg.
which Is occupied by a fusllller bat
talion and which was tho acene of a vie
