London, Oct. 30-The Petrograd cor
respondent of the Daily Mail sends the
following regarding the fighting in
Russia
"The Germans are astonished and
disheartened to find themselves always
pitted against fresh troops, full of en-
ergy. The secret Of this lies in the
Russian plan Of keeping an immense
reserve for every army, changing regi-
ments frequently and never leaving the
same men on the firing line long
enough to become stale.
"In this way the vastness of the
Russian emperor's army of eight mil
lion men is beginning to show mark
ed influence on the campaign"
