RUSS ARMY BACK
ON OWN FRONTIER
Arrival of Fresh German Forces
in East Prussia Renders Re-
grouping of Cars Army
Says PetrOgrad Report.

PETROGRAD. Feb. 13.-It is not
altogether a surprise that the Russian
troops have Withdrawn from the line
Of the Mazurin lakes and fallen back
on their own frontier The enemy is
concentrating mis-. attack in three di-
rections. towards Volaovsky Cor Wyt-
kowyszkD. Lyck and Ostrolenka cor
OstrOIekaJ.
The arrival in east Prussia of for
mtdable German army has fUnGa-
mentally changed the situation there
and has rendered necessary a re-
grouping Of the Russian forces. This
can be more advantageOusly carried
out on the Russians own frontier
where the armies will have the sup
port OF the Russian forts.
This Encouragement IL is limited will
DE prelude TO decisive events on this
front. Meanwhile it will be impOs-
sible TO publish much news from that
quarter without providing the enemy
with useful information
Since the Germans were last repuls-
ed from the Niemen and the BCbr
rivers with frightful slaughter the con-
ditions have been "A good deal modi-
fled for both sides.
The enemy is relying largely upon
imperfectly trained troops and reserv-
first line soldiers with whom they de-
livered their first blow in that direc-
ton.
The Russian position in this respect
has probably improved rather than
deteriOrated. A much more important
transformation has been effected by
winter which has frozen hard the i'm
mense swamps that border both the
rivers named.
In the Carpathians the situation re-
mains encouraging The enemy is
showing less enterprise and determi-
nation and the Russians seem TO be
acting on the aggressive alone and
by far has the greatest advantage.
In front of one small section of the
Russian trenches alone 400 dead Ger
mans were counted
In this zone of the Carpathian thea
ter the Russians have taken 1850
prisoners since Jan 26

SPAIN 5 MINISTER
IS At VERA CRUZ
Agent Holds Carranza Acted
Against an Individual and
Not a Countrywide Forces
Defeated Says Report.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Senor
Jose Caro-. the Spanish minister to
Mexico who has been expelled from
that country by CarranZa is reported
to the state department Friday TO be
on a Spanish transport steamer in the
harbor of Vera Cruz. This boat goes
TO Havana and il is expected the
Spanish minister will sail on il instead
of accepting the offer of the battleshia
Delaware made by Sec'y of the Navy
Daniels.
The general opinion among mem
berS of the diplomatic corps is that
Carranza stretched to the breaking
point the power Of his government
to declare a foreign representative
persona non grata and ask for his
recall.
In this case Carranza assumed that
Angel De Case. a representative of
Spain, attached to the Spanish lega-
ton at Mexico City, was a violent par
tisan OF Gen. Villa and for that reason
ought TO be executed. De Case nat
urally and legally took refuge in the
Spanish legation. CarranZa made the
extraordinary demand that he be de-
livered up out of the legation which
under the law of nations is Spanish
territory. 1t is expected the Spanish
government will lodge a formal pro-
test with Carranza but it is not antic-
ipated that protests will avail any
thing
Seno- Arredondo. Carranza's agent
here, speaks of the incident as de
plOra BILE" but maintains that Carran-
"a has observed the customs and in
ternational law" Gen. CarranZa's
act, he said. was against an individual,
and not against the government of
Spain. Arredondo quotes in justifica-
ton of Carranza the act OF Pres't
JuareZ of Mexico who in 1857 expelled
for political reasons the diplomatic
representatives of Spain, Rome and
Guatemala and the archbishop Of
Mexico. He also cites the Lord Sack
ville-West incident during the term of
Pres't Cleveland
