would seem as though on both front*
the vast armies have been engaged
largely in making preparation* for
new hat 1 1 os.
Here and there heavy cannonade* or
infantry attack* have occurred, all of
which, however, were more in the na
ture of feelers than a seriou* design
in the way of an offensive or for the
purpose of an advance.
Forming New Line.
In Poland the Herman*, whose dar
ing siroke to penetrate the KuHaiau

heavy losses, according to Petrograd
reports, nre forming a new line, ex
tending roughly from Kutno. In (ho

right, or southern wing of this army,
which rests on Cracow, Is commanded
by General jiankl. lie Ih supported
on the north by General Hetiendorf,
i Whose army is based on Czonstochowa,
while the new army sent from the
west fills the gap between this force
force and General MacKenren * army,
which after extricating Itself from the
Itusslan meshes, now is in a new po
sition expending from Kutno south

On. the western front interest Shifts
from Flanders to lsirraine and Upper
Alsace There has been little fighting
In that part of Helgtum still held by
the allies, and the French have taken
some old German trenches, which lias
given rise to a belief that the Germans
will fall hack to new positions.
Progress in Alsace.
Operations ->f more serious import
nre taking place on the borders of Al

The center of the field of operations in

German effort centers at Szczerczow,
twenty miles west of Piotrokow, with
that town the objective. Heavy fight

extent.
Exhaustion on Center.

the exhaustion of troops composing the
German center, most of those regiments
have been withdrawn or are resting on
their arms and that fresher troops are
holding the line.

Dead Yet Remain.
The dead and wounded in this district
are reported so thick that the Russian
hospital corps, after working three days,
had not cleared the field. Most of tho
Germans treated showed bayonet
wounds.
The flre-hlaoked ruins of the village
of Kurpin. dispatches from the front
say. are packed with charred bodies of
Teutons who took refuge from Siberian
bayonets to fall under the fire of a Rus
sian battery.
Dispatches from Poland say the Ger
man disaster attending a march to reach
the rpaln Teuton force from an isolated
center began with a charge of the Si
berians at Rzgow, six miles south of
Lodz. The Siberians, after a long march,
entered prepared trenches and imme
diately asked permission to attack
Rzgow, where the Germans were en
trenched. They deployed and attacked
from two sides. The unexpectedness of
the assault surprised the Germans and
the first trenches were quickly taken,
though the Germans soon recaptured
In the next few hours these trenches
were taken and retaken three times.
The Germans finally retreated north
ward, being pounded by the Russians
until the main body' of Germans was
reached.
A rough cross surmounted by a peak
ed helmet and another cross on which
rests a Siberian capital, blood-stained
and bullet-holed, now marks the field
where thousands of dead lie side by
