Serious Handicap in
Russian Operations

New York.-That Russia has COM
mitted the same mistake that Ger
many committed in the early part of
the Belgian campaign, and that the
Russian defeats are the result Of lack
of ae%roplanes IN the Russian side
for accommodating, controlling artil-
lery fire and preventing the German
air scouts from mapping the Russian
positions, is shown by reports which
have reached the governors of the
Aero Club OF America.
These reports, which have been re-
tetyed from a. score Of reliable sources
since the beginning Of the war, show
how the comparatively small German
forces, but possessing q large num-
Der of a%eroplanes and experienced
aviators, have had such a tremendous
advantage " their foe that they
have been able to advance through
difficult country and take fortified
places in spite of the Russian army.
Aeroplanes Inadequate.
In a summary prepared from rel-
able reports by Henry Woodhouse, a
governor of the club and managing
editor of Flying, the official publica-
ton of the Aero Clubs OF America,
Illinois and Pennsylvania and Of the
American Society of Aeronautic En-
gineers, the following facts are Civ
en-:
The success of the Germans, who
with 100000 men have succeeded in
forcing he Russian army, which has
more than twice as many men, to re-
treat, abandoning strongly fortified
places, has been due entirely to:
Failure on the part Of the Rus
sian army chiefs to recognize the pos
sibllities OF employing aeroplanes to
good advantage for accommodating,
directing artillery fire, cooperating
IN the work of cavalry and infantry
and in protecting the Russian lines
from the prying eyes of the efficient
German air scouts, who, unchaIleng-
ed, not only mapped, but secured de-
tailed Photographic plans of the Rus
sian positions and distribution Of
forces.
2. Failure on the part OF the Rus
sian army chiefs to recognize the ne
cessity Of shifting of front and of
making s~trategical moves to offset
the advantage gained by the enemy
through having and superior
aeroplanes and aviators.
% The small number Of Russian
aviators and their lack of experience,
due to not having maneuvered with
the troops before the war.

RUSS FALLING BACK

Zeppelins Renewing Activity Near London
kovno, Russian Stronghold, Captured BY
Germans---London Pessimistic.

A Zeppelin raid on London was
the feature of the past week, aside
from the rapid advance made by the
German forces into Russia.
A Petrograd dispatch says that
German aeroplanes are persistently
bombarding the city of Wilma, about
fifty miles east Of Kovno, which the
German army, under Won Hindenburg
is reported to have captured. Kovno
is n of the Russian strongholds
and its capture is said to threaten
seriously a large part Of the Russian
army.
Germany is still advancing in Rus
STA, driving the Russian forces before
them, although the latter are making
desperate efforts to check the onrush
of Germans.
Notwithstanding the fact in cap
turing Warsaw the German objective
was o attained, the hope being that
the bulk of the Russian army would
be annihilated as a fighting force, the
German success has created doubt in
the Balkan states concerning the
eventual outcome of the war, and as
a result there is o disposition to
remain neutral than was evinced ten
days ago.

The board of regents lis ~endeavoring

The schism in the university was

progressive tendencies who had been
selected to represent the graduating
class and in his address he uncover
ed the fake translations by Joseph
Smith that has figured in Mormon lit

Abraham.
Smith said 1t was d translation from
Egyptian papyri, which has been re.

gospel Of Mormonism.
This papyri has recently been sub

they have found that there is nothing
there inscribed upon which to base
the story OF Abraham.
The church has been stricken BY
this exposure of the truth and is AT
