Show MORE RUSSIANS ARE LANDED. That the allies are in need of team play, is evident, says the Manchester Union, but at last they are awake to the Importance of close co-operation, as evidenced by the arrival of Russian troops at Marseilles. The first transports arrived last Thursday Thurs-day and more ships reached that port today. "While the French commander-in-chief cites their coming as another striking proof of Rusian devotion to the common cause of the allies, the incident may strike the outside observer ob-server as indicating improved team play by the Entente." says the Union. "England has money and a fleet, and she is using them both, Russia has vast resources in men, and now this reservoir Is being drawn upon to repair re-pair the waste involved in the long continued trench warfare In the west. From the beginning there has been team play in marked degree by the Central Powers, with the splendidly efficient German general staff in general gen-eral control of operations. Now it appears ap-pears as if the Entente powers, more loosely bound together In the beginning, begin-ning, had taken a leaf out-of their enemies' book, and were pulling together, to-gether, with a common guiding purpose, pur-pose, arrived at by a bettered and closer understanding among the governments gov-ernments in their combination. This Russian expedition, in fact, may be considered another evidence of something some-thing which has been growing clearer ' and clearer, as the war goes on, and that 1b, that modern warfare Is an amazingly business like undertaking, to be carried out with a thoroughly business like use of all resources, if there is to be any hopo of success." |
