The early and persistent rainy sea-
son over the. greater part OF the fight
ing front is taken by the Russian
peasants as a sign that the text in
scribed on the regimental standards
--"God Is OH our side"-is not mis-
placed. The Russian places great
faith in the defensive merits or his
rainy season, especially in the marshy
sections. where intimate knowledge
of the bogs will enable local guerilla
bands. under the skilled leadership OF
picked Cossack daredeyils to keep up
a continual harrassment Of the Ger
man fianks and rear.

miliar with theshifts and tricks of the
marshlands, especially in the treach-
erous Pinsk district. for there the
hogs vary with the seasons and ac-
cording to the rainfall. !As'case has
already been reported from this dis
trict i'm which a German column was
cunningly surrounded by small
force or gderillas, who crept by Sc
cret ways across tho swanips, ana
raised an alarm on all sides at once.

deavored TO find way out and The
