Russia's Clearing Operations
in the Eastern War Theatre
lFrom the New York Tribuncl

Operations in the eastern theatre OF
war have been more varied and more
spectacular in results than those in
tho western theatre since the Ger
mans pushed their way into North
eastern France In the west there
has been constant hard lighting, but
no very pronounced success for either
side at any point In ;he east two
important victories have been admit
ted the first won 10y the Germans,
near Allcnstein, East Prussia. and
the second, won by The Russians near
Lemberg, The capital of Galicia
Zach of these actions will have a
considerable effect on the eastern
campaign The check near Allenstcn
will end for a time the Russian adj
vance toward the German fortresses
on the line OF the Vistula River, from
Dantzlg south TO Thorn. The Rus
sian army which was defeated evil

and was operating IN conjunction
with the army which entered East
Prussia from Kovno, marched west
to Insterbure and then turned TO the
northwest to incyst Koenigsberg. At

asserted that the Russians still hold
Allenston. But even IL they do they
will probably not be able TO advance

TO come.
The invasion Of East Prussia was
clearing operation. The Russians
could hardly have intended to make
their main attack on Berlin along
that line, since il was possible for
them to avoid the strong German de-
fences on the Vistula by entering tho
province Of posen from Western Po-
land. thus putting themselves in the
rear Of Dantzic. Dirischau, Graudcn2
and Thorn. But it was necessary TO
clear Eastern Prussia up 90 the Wis

CHANCES FOR LAND REMAIN

An official statement from project
headquarters at Fallon says hat the
opportunities for securing good lands
are by nc means exhausted through
the drawing held at Fallon last week,
as, in fact many more desirable
tracts than those selected were
thrown open toentry yesterday.
There were se~venty-fve farm units
thrown open yesterday.
Water right applications and home
stead papers must be made out at
Fallon and when fled at the project
managers Office the water right ap-
plication , must be accompanied by
one-twentieth of the construction
charge, or SO per acre. No further
payment will be required for five
years except the annual maintenance
charge based on the amoun af wa
ter used, which, it is estimated will
average about 81 per acre for the
land irrigated. BY this arrangement
the new settlers will have a period
Of five years unhampered by con-
struction charges in which to prepare
the land for cultivation. The law re-
quires the irrigable area be placed
under cultivation within three years
and at least one-half within five
years.
The units vary in size from forty
to eighty acres. In this present
opening the 8O-acre units predomin-
ate. In addition to the government
lands there are several thousand
acres of railroad and other private
ly owned lands for which water
may now be purchased at the same
rate as in the case of ohome-steads.
The area now being thrown open
to entry includes about 49, 900 acres
in the western or upper end of the
project. The project plans coatem-
plate opening to settlement about
10000 acres of lands annually.
