Says Mayor Keller.

Announcement was made by Mayor
Keller Wednesday morning that the
city would build a fence along the
river bank on Lincoln way E., from

wooden structure, the removal of
which has been often urged by resi-
dents of the street.
The new fence will be similar to
that erected by the Northern Indiana
Railway Co. farther out the avenue
Concrete posts will be Joined by heavy
black piping. The park board, the
board of public works and the mayor
have received many written and YER
bal requests that the city take the

Tuesday, according to City Engineer
Anderson. At that time the cOntrac-
tors bids will be let. Anderson stated

This summary of the military situ-
alton was given TO the International
News Service today by a high official
OF the Russian war office. At the
same time he expressed the belief
that the German offensive on the
front between the Ealtic and the Pri-
pet marshes was nearing its end. 70
cOrroborate this belief he cited infOr-
nation which mas reached the war Of
fee to the effect that three German
corps which had recently figured in
tho fighting had disappeared from

Troops Transferred.
ut is probable that these troops
had been transferred to the Servian
front" he said. The Germans ap-
parently fear to entrust the Austrian
aryay again with the task OF conduct
in- an invasion OF Servia. The Prus-
sian soldiers who will be hurled
against our brave ally viii encounter
a surprise"
The official confirmed reports that
reached here yesterday that Gen.
Everts army had extricated itself
from the German enveloping move
ment Of Won Hindenburg and Prince
Leopold.
The German efforts To surround a
large Oart of our forces resulted in
complete failure" he asserted. The
BaVarians suffered terrific losses in
their advance south of SlOnin. This
halted Prince Leopold until he could
receive reinfOrcements and when
these arrived the German time table
had been completely repulsed.
The Russian armies are intact. Thei
morale is unimpaired IL is a char
acteristic of the Russian soldier that
he nights we'll on retreat as we'll as on
the advance. Never has this charac-
teristic shown in larger measure than
in our recent campaign of steady
wit ldrawal."
