the Russian government to keep the
tremendous losses of the army from
the multitude. Notwithstanding this

that with the rumored defeat of the

objective of an attack.

ton of foreigners. and which call upon
those who may have been mistreated to
make prompt reports. promising severe
punishment for the offenders What is
more, the promises are strictly kept,
and persons guilty of excesses against
foreigners have been heavily punished.
In order to minimize the chances for
trouble it was thought best that Ger
man hrm names make place for in
scrlptions in Russian, and the Germans
were asked to refrain as much as pos
ible from speaking their language in
public. But the best measure for the

OF the capital are more inviting.

The many extra editions of the
newspapers speak constantly of vic
tories Of the Russians and French over
the Germans, and it is asserted that
the former are already near Berlin.
Forelgn papers are vigorously excluded,
and since even the many wounded are
not permitted to come into contact
with the public or see even their rela-
yves. there is no difficulty keeping the
russian public under the impression

any juror to be put in who is past
